In this article I will explain with an example, how to display (show) TextBox value in Label using JavaScript in ASP.Net MVC.
Note: For beginners in ASP.Net MVC, please refer my article ASP.Net MVC Hello World Tutorial with Sample Program example.
 
 

Model

The Model class consists of following property.
public class PersonModel
{
    public string Name { getset; }
}
 
 

Controller

The Controller consists of following Action method.

Action method for handling GET operation

Inside this Action method, simply the View is returned.
public class HomeController : Controller
{
    // GET: Home
    public ActionResult Index()
    {
        return View();
    }
}
 
 

View

HTML Markup

Inside the View, in the very first line the PersonModel class is declared as Model for the View.
The View consists of a TextBox and Label created using HTML.TextBoxFor and HTML.LabelFor Helper methods respectively and an HTML INPUT Button.
The Button has been assigned with an onclick event handler.
When the Button is clicked, the ShowName JavaScript function is called.
Inside this function, first the TextBox and Label elements are referenced and the TextBox value is set to the Label element.
@model Show_TextBox_Label_JavaScript_MVC.Models.PersonModel
@{
    Layout = null;
}
 
<!DOCTYPE html>
 
<html>
<head>
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width" />
    <title>Index</title>
</head>
<body>
    Name:@Html.TextBoxFor(m => m.Name, new { id = "txtName" })
    <input id="btnShowName" type="button" value="Show Name" onclick="ShowName()" />
    <hr />
    @Html.LabelFor(m => m.Name, " "new { id = "lblName" })
    <script type="text/javascript">
        function ShowName() {
            //Reference the TextBox.
            var txtName = document.getElementById("txtName");
 
            //Reference the Label.
            var lblName = document.getElementById("lblName");
 
            //Copy the TextBox value to Label.
            lblName.innerHTML = txtName.value;
        }
    </script>
</body>
</html>
