<input type="checkbox" name="PrePayment">Pre-Payment<br />
How would I get the text "Pre-Payment" from this using Jquery?
Thanks!

var text = $('input[type="checkbox"]'). text(); alert(text);
To check whether a Checkbox has been checked, in jQuery, you can simply select the element, get its underlying object, instead of the jQuery object ( [0] ) and use the built-in checked property: let isChecked = $('#takenBefore')[0]. checked console. log(isChecked);
I'd recommend putting the text inside a <label> tag so that you could click on it (and so that screen readers and such could make sense of your form):
<input type="checkbox" name="PrePayment" id="pre-payment">
<label for="pre-payment">Pre-Payment</label>
<br />
Then, the whole thing becomes easy:
var text = $('label[for=pre-payment]').text();
var or_this = $('#pre-payment').next('label').text();
I'd prefer the first option, label[for=...], as it is less fragile than the second

Maybe:
$("input[name='PrePayment']")[0].nextSibling.nodeValue;
Try it here.

You should probably have a value attribute in the checkbox.
<input type="checkbox" name="PrePayment" value="Pre-Payment">Pre-Payment<br />
Then you can simply use the attr command:
$(input).attr('value');
Check the below example and you get the script how to get label of checkbox in jQuery
<html>
<body>
<ul>
<li>
<input type="checkbox" name="mouse" value="1" id="mouse" /><label for="mouse">Mouse</label>
</li>
<li>
<input type="checkbox" name="keyboard" value="1" id="keyboard" /><label for="mouse">Keyboard</label>
</li>
<li>
<input type="checkbox" name="monitor" value="1" id="monitor" /><label for="mouse">Monitor</label>
</li>
</ul>
</body>
</html>
<script type="text/javascript">
var label = jQuery('label[for=' + jQuery(this).attr('id') + ']').html();
alert(label);
</script>
