    copied!<p>I am attempting to set text in a SPAN element from JavaScript and it is not working. Any help would be greatly appreciated.</p> <p>The HTML on the asp.net page is as follows:</p> <pre><code>&lt;div class="TimerRowDetail TimerDaysDetail"&gt; &lt;asp:Label ID="lblDays" runat="server" Text="yyy" ClientIDMode="Static"&gt;&lt;/asp:Label&gt; &lt;/div&gt; </code></pre> <p>The generated HTML is as follows:</p> <pre><code>&lt;div class="TimerRowDetail TimerDaysDetail"&gt; &lt;span id="lblDays"&gt;yyy&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt; </code></pre> <p>My JavaScript is as follows:</p> <pre><code>var lblDays = $("#&lt;%=lblDays.ClientID%&gt;"); if (lblDays != null) { alert("OK"); lblDays.innerHTML = "XXX"; } </code></pre> <p>I see the OK alert but the text never changes to XXX.</p> <p>I am testing with both IE 9 and FireFox 9.0.1.</p> <p>Thanks. <strong>EDIT:</strong> </p> <p>Ok, I am not suggesting the answer icarus gave is incorrect, only that it is not working in my environment.</p> <p>Below is the source for the page including the script I am using.
