Web/API/HTMLLabelElement/control

The read-only HTMLLabelElement.control property returns a reference to the control (in the form of an object of type HTMLElement or one of its derivatives) with which the <label> element is associated, or null if the label isn't associated with a control.

Syntax

control = HTMLLabelElement.control

Value
