How to find particular label value inside div tag using jQuery

Question

I need to read the value of particular label inside the div tag using jQuery. Below is the HTML structure.

<div id="myDiv">
<label id="greenLabel">Hello</label>
<label id="redLabel">There you go!</label>
</div>

Can anyone help me to find the inner text of "redLabel" ?

Maybe `$('#redLabel').html()` ? – Florent Nov 22 '13 at 13:43 — Florent, Nov 22 '13 at 13:43

$('#redLabel').text();

or

$('#redLabel').html();

$('#redLabel') -->refers to element with id redLabel

$('#redLabel').text(); --> get text of element with id redLabel

$('#redLabel').text('value'); --> set text of element with id redLabel

ID must be unique. Use classes for multiple items or refer to a group

writing directly "$('#redLabel').text();" reads all the labels in the page. I want to read it from particular div tag. – Dhaval Panchal Nov 22 '13 at 13:47
@DhavalPanchal that read only label for ID redLabel and if ID are uniques then you get only one value. – DaniP Nov 22 '13 at 13:48
Yes - ID is unique. I have ASP.Net label within DIV and set ClientIDMode="static". So, It renders HTML as mentioned in Question. – Dhaval Panchal Nov 22 '13 at 13:57
@DhavalPanchal if id is unique it must select only one label . – Tushar Gupta - curioustushar Nov 22 '13 at 13:58
ID is unique within that div tag. But in page there are too many labels with the same name. – Dhaval Panchal Nov 22 '13 at 14:01
@DhavalPanchal label id's also must be unique or you can use class instead for all labels . – Tushar Gupta - curioustushar Nov 22 '13 at 14:02

try this

 $("#myDiv #redLabel").text();
  //go to div then label
 // or can try if in label there is no element
     $("#myDiv #redLabel").html();

you can also use $("#redLabel") at the place of $("#myDiv #redLabel")
