Get label for input field

Question

I\'m doing a validation with Jquery and need to get the $label from each element with their own label. Now the alert() gives med [object object]. The best thing for me here

Answer 1

Improving upon the answer you could wrap it in a function:

function getLabel(name) {
    var $label = $("label[for='" + name + "']")
    return ($label.text());
}

var label = getLabel(this.id);
console.log(label);

This makes it much easier to reuse the code.
