Get Text of checkbox with Jquery

Question

Pre-Payment

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

Answer 1

I had a similar problem to this - another way you could make this work (with HTML5) is to use data attributes.

As an example, you'd set a data attribute as follows:

Pre-Payment

You could then read this data attribute by using the following jQuery:

$(input).data('text');

The benefit of doing it this way is that you can have a seperate value parameter if required.
