HTMLLabelElement: control property

{{APIRef("HTML DOM")}}

The read-only HTMLLabelElement.control property returns a reference to the control (in the form of an object of type {{domxref("HTMLElement")}} or one of its derivatives) with which the {{HTMLElement("label")}} element is associated, or null if the label isn't associated with a control.

Value

An {{domxref("HTMLElement")}} derived object representing the control with which the {{HTMLElement("label")}} is associated, or null if the label stands alone.

[!NOTE] If this property has a value and {{domxref("HTMLLabelElement.htmlFor")}} has a value, the {{domxref("HTMLLabelElement.htmlFor")}} property must refer to the same control.
