Modify The Text Of My Radio Input Button?

Your average radio button has a name and value, but also some text next to it, in this case 'Change this text.' How can I change this in javascript? Or even alert it? AFAIK, it is

Solution 1:

You could use alert(confirmIExist[0].nextSibling.textContent), but wouldn't it be better to place the text next to the radio button in a <label> and then get the inner html of that

<input type="radio" id="radioOption1" name="radioOption1" value="Array 1"><labelfor="radioOption1"id="r1option">Change this text</label>
...
var label = document.getElementById("r1option");
alert(label.innerHTML);

Solution 2:

You cannot set inner html for a input element. instead wrap your text with a and give it a ID

<input type="radio" name="radioOption1" value="Array 1"> <label id="radioText">Change this text</label>

Solution 3:

input is a self-closing element. It cannot have innerHTML

nextSibling will return the Node that follows the radio button.

document.getElementsByName('radioOption1')[0].nextSibling.nodeValue = 'Text changed';
