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

because you are sending an object to the alert function, if you want to get the content of the selected label you have to get it's html http://jsfiddle.net/s7pYX/2/

 $('input').each(function(){
 if ($(this).val() == '') {

 $element = $(this)

 var $label = $("label[for='"+$element.attr('id')+"']").html();

 alert($label)    

 }

 });
