trying to determine IF a text element IS a label for a select

in Using jQuery • 10 years ago

I need to be able to tell IF a text element is a label for a select ( if it is I will ignore it )

<div id="text28202" style="visibility: inherit;">
      <a id="a_1_3_10" href="javascript:radio28203id.click();" name="text28202anc"></a>
      <label id="label28203id" for="radio28203id">
            <p style="margin-left:0px;text-indent:0px;line-height:1.394;text-align:center;">
            <span class="text28202Font1">Strongly Agree </span>
            </p>
      </label>
</div>

In other words - How can I determine if text28202 is ALSO a label for radio28203id??

Thanks

What do YOU mean by 'label for'?

There is <label for="uFullName">Full Name</label><input type="text" id="uFullName" name="uFullName">

And

There is ... what you really mean. Can you elaborate some more.

What do you mean "ALSO a label for"? Is there a label element out there with the same ID? That would cause problems in your code since IDs have to be unique. Or are you just calling it a label since it contains the label element? What determines if it is a 'label'? You can use has (http://api.jquery.com/has/ ) to determine if an element is inside of another one.
$("#text28202").has("label").length will let you know how many elements with that ID have a label as a descendent, assuming you only have one element with that ID the answer should be 0 or 1.

If you post some more code it might help too that way we know what your trying to do with it and where you starting from.

Apologies if I wasn't clear enough.

I have a "object" on a page that is a survey. It contains FIVE text elements and FOUR radio buttons. The only way to determine what the survey question is , is to figure out which text element IS NOT a label for one of the radio buttons.

I need to be able to tell IF a text element is a label for a radio button - if it is NOT then it IS the survey question text.

Hope that clears it up.
