Question

Can anyone help me to read a label text from selenium webdriver

The for attribute value and label text are entirely different

Answer 1

Assuming the label looks in HTML something like this:

<span id="spannyspan" title="the Title of SPAN">The Text</span>

then the WebElement will be best approached like this:

WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();
WebElement theSpan = driver.findElement(By.id("spannyspan"));
String title = theSpan.getAttribute("title");
String label = theSpan.getText();
System.out.println(title); // will return "the Title of SPAN"
System.out.println(label); // will return "The Text"
// both without apostrophes ofcourse

If this does not help please provide sample HTML of label which you are trying to fetch
