how do I refer to myLabel.text in javascript?

[j9]

I have a javascript function that is called when I click my server-side submit button. I want to validate that one of my labels is not empty before allowing a submit.
I cannot figure out how to access the value stored in myLabel.text.

For hidden form variables I use the following syntax in javascript: myForm.myHidden.value

I tried a bunch of different things with no luck! Thanks in advance for any help!

I want to validate that one of my labels is not empty before allowing a submit.

Why do it yourself when there are validator controls (RequiredFieldValidator) that are there to provide this functionality?
