    {
var url=document.getElementById('<&#37;= Label1.ClientID %>').value;
    alert(url);
    }

In both the cases,in url undefined is coming. y SO?

labels are rendered as span tags, look at the html source in your browser to see this. So you would get the label text using javascript with innerText or innerHtml

document.getElementById("Label_ID").innerText

Surely if you know what's in the label, you could make the button go directly.

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
Button2.Attributes.Add("onclick", "document.location.href='http://example.com/'"); //Whatever is in your label.
}

Hey,

Or better, still, why render a button at all. It would seem to me that it would be more intuitive to render the label as a hyperlink instead. No?
