javascript - How to change the text of a label?

Question

I have a radiobutton list and on click on the radio button item I have to change the text of its label. But for some reason it's not working. Code is below:

<asp:Label ID="lblVessel" Text="Vessel:" runat="server"></asp:Label>

<script language="javascript">
  $(document).ready(function() {

    $('#rblDiv input').click(function() {
      var selected = $("#rblDiv input:radio:checked").val();
      if (selected == "exportpack") {
        $('#lblVessel').text("NewText");
      }
    });
  });
</script>

Answer 1

I was having the same problem because i was using

$("#LabelID").val("some value");

I learned that you can either use the provisional jquery method to clear it first then append:

$("#LabelID").empty();
$("#LabelID").append("some Text");

Or conventionaly, you could use:

$("#LabelID").text("some value");

OR

$("#LabelID").html("some value");
