Question

I have:

<label for="gender" class="error">Choose</label>

I would like to add an id to this line via jQuery/javascript so the html would end up like:

<label for="gender" class="error" id="addthisid">Choose</label>

Is it possible? How can I do that?

Answer 1

Like this:

$("label[for='gender']").attr("id", "addthisid");

or:

$("label[for='gender']")[0].id = "addthisid";

or:

$("label[for='gender']").get(0).id = "addthisid";
