Syntax: 

  • It is used to return the htmlFor property:
labelObject.htmlFor
  • It is used to set the htmlFor property:
labelObject.htmlFor = id

Property Values: 

  • id: It defines an id attribute of the element that should be labeled.

Return Value: It returns a string value which represents the id of the element that will be labeled.
