..text is not a DOM extention, perhaps .value.

However perhaps better ask in a dotnet group.

Label (rendered as <SPANat client) does not have text property at
client-side dom. What if you write for example:

var x = document.getElementById("label1").innerText;

I'm not up on ASP.NET but the first thing I would check is whether the
ID="label1" actually ends up on an element in the output HTML. Use view
source in your browser and do a text search.

My guess is that it isn't and that you need to repost to
microsoft.public.dotnet.framework.aspnet to get someone to explain.
