Obtain the label name using javascript

Question

I want to know whether it is possible to obtain the label name along the text box. For example, the following code asks the user for their name and "Your name" is the label.

<label>Your name:</label> <input type="text" size="15" name="name" />

I want to know if I can obtain the label name "Your Name" using javascript.

Are you using jQuery? If so, it'll be much easier. – Makram Saleh Jun 30 '11 at 11:20 — Makram Saleh, Jun 30 '11 at 11:20

The answer on the first approach is clever:

Find html label associated with a given input

Otherwise use a toolkit and lots of clumsy DOM traversal.
