Question

I have a page that generates forms depending on user choice. I want to know if there is a way to convert the form into plain text? Ex. The form has 4 fields, each has a label. I would like to take all the labels/fields and print them to the user as follows:

label1 field1
label2 field2
label3 field3
label4 field4

Is there a way to do so?

You can use jQuery to generate basic output, for example:

var texts = [];
$("form label").each(function() {
    var oLabel = $(this);
    var oInput = oLabel.next();
    texts.push(oLabel.text() + " - " + oInput.val());
});
var plainText = texts.join("<br />");
$("#Output").html(plainText);

This will iterate over all the form labels, then take the next element of each label which is the input.

Live test case.
