Sample code for JS and Jquery to get and modify the value of the label

Get the value:

The label label used in JS and Jquery cannot be used to get its value with value like other labels:


var label=document.getElementById("id");
var value=label.value;
var value=$("#id").val();

Here’s how:

JS:


var label=document.getElementById("id");
var value=label.innerText;

Jquery:


var value=$("#id").html();

Assignment:

Unlike Java, JS and Jquery cannot be assigned like this:


var label=document.getElementById("id");
var value=label.innerText;
value="XXXXXX";

var value=$("#id").html();
value="XXXXXX";

You can assign a value like this:


var label=document.getElementById("id");
label.innerText="XXXXXX";
$("#id").html("XXXXX");
