As the other user said, you can get the value using the document.getElementByID method.
(Similarly getElementByTagName method can also be used. But that will return all the specified tags.)

In your case, you need to surround the text inside a span (or even div). Give it an id and use the above methods.
Something like:

HTML

<span id="spnFirstName">FirstName</span>

And he did that after my answer. Check the previous version of the question. You must analyse things properly before you vote 1.

If it is dynamically generated by the C# code then you cant get by this way..

Use like this...

JavaScript

document.getElementByID("<%= Element.ClientID %>").innerText or innerHTML

because every control of a asp.net has

ASP.NET

runat="server"

which means that the HTML code for the control is generated by ASp.Net and its id is also generated by C#.
