Question

Is it possible to change the value of the for attribute in a label tag with jquery?

e.g.

<label for="xxx">I am not changing</label>
to 
<label for="yyy">I am not changing</label>

I have been dynamically changing the name/id of the associated input but i cant work out how to change the label for value.

This is how i did the name/id change

$('#myinput_'+oldidnum).attr("name","myinput_"+newidnum);
$('#myinput_'+oldidnum).attr("id","myinput_"+newidnum);

thanks in advance

See if your label is this: http://jsfiddle.net/QTM45/

<label for="xxx">I am not changing</label>

and if you want to change the for attribute value then use this:

$('label').attr('for','yyy');

if you assign an id to that label then

$('#labelID').attr('for','yyy');
