Get values from label using jQuery

Question

I want to get month and year value from label. How can i get these using jquery?

<label year="2010" month="6" id="current Month"> June &nbsp;2010</label>

Answer 1

I am changing your id to current-month (having no space)

alert($('#current-month').attr('month'));
alert($('#current-month').attr('year'));

Answer 2

You can use the attr method. For example, if you have a jQuery object called label, you could use this code:

console.log(label.attr("year")); // logs the year
console.log(label.attr("month")); // logs the month

Answer 3

Use .attr

$("current_month").attr("month")
$("current_month").attr("year")

And change the labels id to

<label year="2010" month="6" id="current_month"> June &nbsp;2010</label>

Answer 4

Firstly, I don't think spaces for an id is valid.

So i'd change the id to not include spaces.

 <label year="2010" month="6" id="currentMonth"> June &nbsp;2010</label>

then the jquery code is simple (keep in mind, its better to fetch the jquery object once and use over and over agian)

var label = $('#currentMonth');
var month = label.attr('month');
var year = label.attr('year');
var text = label.text();
