jquery and @Html.Label

The problem i'm having is though it's passing the function Username, it`s not displaying the * after passing the 

$("#Name").text("*");  In debug mode in Mozilla, it displays undefined! What is wrong or what have I missed?

I have @Html.Label("Name", "") and 

$('#changePassword').click(function () {
               if (Username()) {
                   $("#changePassword").dialog('open');
                   return false;
               }
           });

 function Username() {
           if ($("#Name").val() == "") {
               $("#Name").text("*");
               return false;
           }
           else {
               return true;
           }
       }

When you write @Html.Label("Name", "") no HTML is generated which is a bit strange but this is how this helper is implemented. @Html.Label("Name", " ") the following HTML will be generated:

<label for="Name"> </label>

Notice that there is no id. So you cannot reference the label with $('#Name'). You need to use the following: 

$('label[for=Name]').html('*');
