Other than the lowercase "t" at the start of "Text" it looks ok. If you put a break point at the start of the Page_Load method, does it get hit?

Yup seems all ok to me but here it shows nothing - http://jarrattperkins.com/football/home.aspx

You are also missing a closing </p> tag - although I don't imagine that would be causing it not to display properly.

nope that didnt fix it...i just dont get it lol

If you put a break point in the code and check the value of the Text property immediately after you set it, does it show empty, or does it show the correct value?

Do not specify VB script when you ask a question dealing with .NET. They are very different things. This is like adding MS-DOS to a question about the new Windows 8 interface. Be more precise in what you are doing in .NET.

ASP.NET would have been a lot better choice, because it would have attracted more programmers who develop for the web.
