Name

Label — a <label> for a form control

Inherits from

Node, Element

Synopsis

A Label object represents a <label> element in an HTML form.

Properties

readonly Element control

The FormControl that this Label is associated with. If htmlFor is specified, this property is the control specified by that property. Otherwise, this property is the first FormControl child of the <label>.

readonly Form form

This property is a reference to the Form element that contains this label. Or, if the HTML form attribute is set, the Form element identified by that ID.

string htmlFor

This property mirrors the HTML for attribute. Since for is a reserved word in JavaScript, the name of this property is prefixed with “html” to create a legal identifier. If set, this property should specify the ID of the FormControl that this label is associated with. (It is usually simpler, however, to simply make that FormControl be a descendant of this Label.)
