Get Text of checkbox with Jquery

Question

Pre-Payment

How would I get the text \"Pre-Payment\" from this using Jquery?

Answer 1

I'd recommend putting the text inside a tag so that you could click on it (and so that screen readers and such could make sense of your form):

Pre-Payment

Then, the whole thing becomes easy:

var text    = $('label[for=pre-payment]').text();
var or_this = $('#pre-payment').next('label').text();

I'd prefer the first option, label[for=...], as it is less fragile than the second
