Try this:
    value = document.form1.lblMyLabelControl.firstChild.nodeValue;
or:
    value = document.form1.lblMyLabelControl.firstChild.data;

The first child of the element is the textnode (if it isn't, the element
contains other stuff too, and you need to navigate the DOM some more),
which has a property "nodeValue" containing the text you are looking for.
All W3 DOM-compatible, all Mozilla-fähig.

This nodeValue thing is even read/write, so a statement like:

    document.form1.lblMyLabelControl.firstChild.nodeValue = 'Some new text';

would set the displayed text to, well, some new text.

There are other ways.
