hi all,
I need to modify a label value into a form.

I read about the "label" tag but it doesn't seem to have any value
attribute.
how can I do it using javascript?

thanks...

Could you post a sample of your code here?

The label is a normal inline HTML element, like the <em> tag. The
content of the label is the text inside. It is not an attribute.

To change the content, you need a browser that allows dynamic update
of the page content (where, e.g., Netscape 4 doesn't).

How to modify the page is in the FAQ:
<URL: http://jibbering.com/faq/#FAQ4_15 >
although that uses the proprietary innerHTML property.

My resolution:
I have two different <label> labelA and labelB in the same position.
When a specified event occures (ie.a checkbox is checked) my js function use
the "hidden" attribute to display labelA or labelB according to the
requirement...

maybe is a poor solution, but it works...
thanks for your suggestion

Sounds like you could do what you want by using a
span and the innerHTML value.

In HTML:
<span id="changeMe"></span>

In JS:
document.getElementById('changeMe').innerHTML = 'hello';
