Assign variable value based on textbox value

[Mike555]

I'm trying to set a javascript variable equal to a label value in an asp.net page. This is what I currently have, but it doesn't work. Could someone please let me know what I'm doing wrong? Thanks.

variable="document.findcontrol(lblBrand).text";

well, assuming what you've provided is supposed to be run as script (as opposed to some html element attribute), and you've previously defined "lblBrand", and you've defined a function findcontrol() which returns an object containing a "text" property, then this should work:

  variable = document.findcontrol(lblBrand).text;
