Question Setting Label's Text Propery via Javascript

[STEVESKI07]

Hi everyone,

I've done some searching about this and haven't found the solution I need. I need to set a labels text property via javascript. This is how I'm currently doing it:

function setDate(strDate){
           document.getElementById("lblDate").innerText = strDate;  
}

I've also tried using the innerHTML property.

The value shows up on the screen correctly, but the problem is when I do a postback after that and try to do something with lblDate.Text it is returning a null. I know its because when I'm calling the innerText property that its just changing the HTML and not changing the asp controls text property, but does anybody know how I would go around this problem?

Thanks in advance.
