Question

I want to get month and year value from label. How can i get these using jquery?

<label year="2010" month="6" id="current Month"> June &nbsp;2010</label>

Answer 1

Firstly, I don’t think spaces for an id is valid.

So i’d change the id to not include spaces.

<label year="2010" month="6" id="currentMonth"> June &nbsp;2010</label>

then the jquery code is simple (keep in mind, its better to fetch the jquery object once and use over and over agian)

var label = $('#currentMonth');
var month = label.attr('month');
var year = label.attr('year');
var text = label.text();
