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 the contents of $label, you can use .text() for this

$('input').each(function(){
    var $element = $(this)

    if ($element.val() == '') {
        var $label = $("label[for='"+this.id+"']")
        alert($label.text())    
    }

});

Update

var $labels = $("label[for]");
var empties = $('input').filter(function(){
    return $.trim($(this).val()) == ''
}).map(function(){
    return $labels.filter('[for="'+this.id+'"]').text()
}).get().join(', ')

alert(empties)
