Selecting an asp label control using jquery
<p>I am currently selecting an </p>

<pre><code>&lt;asp:Label id="lblLoginusername"..../&gt;
</code></pre>

<p>So I am trying to get a reference to it (to later on change its value) by writing the following in my google chrome browser:</p>

<pre><code>$("#&lt;%= lblLoginUsername.ClientID%&gt;")
</code></pre>

<p>I DO have jquery (1.7.2.min) in my page, but unfortunately I am getting:</p>

<pre><code>[Exception: Error: Syntax error, unrecognized expression: &gt;]
</code></pre>

<p>Can anyone guide me as to where I have a silly mistake?</p>
