Menu
I have an html form. When you click the button, a javascript function adds a new field. I'm trying to have the function also add a 'label' for the field as well.
I've tried using document.createElement("LABEL"), but that doesn't let me change the innerHtml (or maybe I'm doing it wrong..), nor add a closing
Here is my code. Thanks! var instance = 2;
function newTextBox(element)
{
instance++;
// Create new input field
var newInput = document.createElement("INPUT");
newInput.id = "text" + instance;
newInput.name = "text" + instance;
newInput.type = "text";
instance++;
document.body.insertBefore(document.createElement("BR"), element);
document.body.insertBefore(newInput, element);
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<LABEL for="text1">First name: </LABEL>
<input id="text1" type="text" name="text1">
<LABEL for="text2">Last name: </LABEL>
<input id="text2" type="text" name="text2">
<input type="button" id="btnAdd" value="New text box" onclick="newTextBox(this);" />
</body>

function newTextBox(element)
{
instance++;
// Create new input field
var newInput = document.createElement("INPUT");
newInput.id = "text" + instance;
newInput.name = "text" + instance;
newInput.type = "text";
var label = document.createElement("Label");
label.htmlFor = "text" + instance;
label.innerHTML="Hello";
instance++;
document.body.insertBefore(document.createElement("BR"), element);
document.body.insertBefore(newInput,element);
document.body.insertBefore(label, newInput);
Note that for attribute of the label tag, corresponds to the property htmlFor fo the label object in javascript

The example from Vincent does not work.
Try this:
var newlabel = document.createElement("Label");
newlabel.setAttribute("for",id_from_input);
newlabel.innerHTML = "Here goes the text";
parentDiv.appendChild(newlabel);
