# Label

A Stadium label control renders as a standard \<span /> tag. Custom font styles are placed in a style attribute in the span tag (inline). Such custom font styles will always override your stylesheet. You can change the label text by assigning a new value to the label in a script.

### Assigning data to a Label

Example:

To display a Label containing a specific value retrieved by a SQL query:

1. Use an appropriate [Event](https://docs.stadium.software/features/events), e.g. *Load* (page) or *Click* (button) to which a [*SetValue* ](https://docs.stadium.software/actions/set-value)action can be added.
2. Add a [SetValue](https://docs.stadium.software/actions/set-value) action to assign the value from the query to the Label's *Text* property.
