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

try to alert

alert($label.text()) 

Answer 2

With JQuery, you can find all the labels linked to the input with $(input).labels();

$('input').each( function() {
    var $labels = $(this).labels();
    $labels.each(function(index, element){
        alert($(element));
    });
});

Answer 3

This isn't a great example but you could use the prev function from jQuery which will find the previous label before your selected component.

$(document).ready( function() {

   $('input').each(function(){
       alert($(this).prev("label").html())
   });

});

Answer 4

Check this DEMO

$('input').each(function () {
    if ($(this).val() == '') {

        $element = $(this);

        var label = $element.closest("div").find("label").text();

        alert(label)

    }

});

Answer 5

because you are sending an object to the alert function, if you want to get the content of the selected label you have to get it's html http://jsfiddle.net/s7pYX/2/

 $('input').each(function(){
 if ($(this).val() == '') {

 $element = $(this)

 var $label = $("label[for='"+$element.attr('id')+"']").html();

 alert($label)    

 }

 });  

Answer 6

 var response = ""; 
 $('input').each(function(){
     if ($(this).val() == '') {

     response += ", " + $('label[for="' + this.id + '"]').html();
     }
 }); 

alert(response.replace(", ", "You need to fill out: "));
