How do I access the text within an asp.net mvc textbox via JavaScript?

Basically, I have 2 textboxes which you can see below and I am using the javascript below to access the text selected via the date-picker and outputted to the textboxes but what I have done so far, seems to return null values.

Code:

C#

@Html.Label("Start", "Start Date:")
@Html.TextBox("Start", string.Empty, new {@id = "Start2", @class = "datepicker"})
@Html.Label("endd", "End Date:")
@Html.TextBox("endd", string.Empty, new {@id = "End2", @class = "datepicker"})
<input type="submit" value="Apply" id ="DateSelected" />


<script type="text/javascript">
  $('.datepicker').datepicker();
$("#DateSelected").onclick(function () {
            var value1 = document.getElementById('<%=Start2.ClientID%>').value;
            var value2 = document.getElementById('<%=End2.ClientID%>').value;

</script>

First in HTML, check what are the ids of the labels.

First of all I am anticipating that you are using jquery date picker.
So I would recommend you to use ID for both instead of class. Still this should work out. As you are using date picker in textbox, that value can be obtained through..

C#

$(".datepicker").datepicker(
{
    onSelect: function()
    {
        var dateObject = $(this).datepicker('getDate');
    }
});

This returns back the date selected. Please try with this if this works. Else post back your queries.
Thanks
:)
