Anyway to find content control in usercontrol using javascript?

I have a master page, content page and a user control.
1. In the user control, i have a button that I call javascript on usercontrol to clear some textfields.

2. In content page, I have a label that I also want to clear when the user-control button is clicked.

Anyway I can access this label in usercontrol, using javascript? this is what I have now.

In user control

<script type="text/javascript">
    function clrCtrl() {
        document.getElementById("<%= search_category_city.ClientID %>").value = "";
    }

 <asp:Button  ID="btnClear" Text="Clear" runat="server" OnClientClick="clrCtrl();return false;"  />

Open in new window

In Content page

<asp:Label runat="server" ID="lblMsgFax" />

Open in new window

I tried this but get a NULL error for the label. I put a debug step and this line is always null

public Literal PageLabel { get; set; }

I put an alert in the javascript and lblObj is null

var lblObj = document.getElementById(lblId);
alert(lblObj);
lblObj.innerHTML = "";

Do I need to change that property somehow to set the value?

<td width="310"><span class="feedback">Please click 'Next' to refer by fax.</span></td>

no ID. I'll dig deeper
