I would like to set a value of a <label>, like so:
<label for="idname">Value here...</label>
with Javascript. I have already done this, for the for attribute:
element.setAttribute("for", "idname");
is there something like element.setValue() that I can use to set the value of the label? Thanks!
Iterate through the label elements looking for the property for="idname" like this:
var labels = document.getElementsByTagName("label");
for( var i = 0; i < labels.length; i++ ){
if( labels[i].outerHTML.indexOf('for="idname"') > -1){
var UseLabelValue = labels[i].innerHTML;
labels[i].innerHTML = "Replace Value";
}
}
<label for="idname">Value here...</label>
<script>
document.getElementsByTagName('label')[0].innerHTML='new value';
</script>
A label has no value. If you want to set the text, you may use
element.innerHTML = "some text";
