Reading data or labels of a sharepoint site?

Hello everybody! My problem is that i want to read any data of a SP-Site. So i tried to run a javascript code with a content editor webart which i added to a Site. There i trie to use:

var name = document.getElementById("labelName").value; 
alert(name);

But the alert doesn't show me a value. It always shows "undefined".

So I want to ask if it's possible to read the data of labels or something with javascript code in a WebPart or not. And if it's possible how I'm able to do it.

yes, but the id may not be exactly what you expect it to be.

go into the list / library that the element is part of. Right click the column name. In IE you will click properties.

the end of that value is what you want. so for example: 'Percent%5Fx0020%5FComplete'

Here is a good article on it
