Instance properties

Inherits properties from its parent, {{domxref("HTMLElement")}}.

• {{domxref("HTMLLabelElement.control")}} {{ReadOnlyInline}}
  • : A {{domxref("HTMLElement")}} representing the control with which the label is associated.
• {{domxref("HTMLLabelElement.form")}} {{ReadOnlyInline}}
  • : A {{domxref("HTMLFormElement")}} object representing the form with which the labeled control is associated, or null if there is no associated control, or if that control isn't associated with a form. In other words, this is just a shortcut for HTMLLabelElement.control.form.
• {{domxref("HTMLLabelElement.htmlFor")}}
  • : A string containing the ID of the labeled control. This reflects the for attribute.

[!NOTE] To programmatically set the for attribute, use htmlFor.

Instance methods

No specific methods; inherits methods from its parent, {{domxref("HTMLElement")}}.
