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");
