HTMLOptionElement: label property

Baseline Widely available

This feature is well established and works across many devices and browser versions. It’s been available across browsers since July 2015.

The label property of the HTMLOptionElement represents the text displayed for an option in a <select> element or as part of a list of suggestions in a <datalist> element. It reflects the <option> element's label attribute.

If the attribute is omitted or the empty string, the label property returns the element's text content.

Value

A string.

Example

js
const optionElement = document.getElementById("exampleOption");
console.log(`Option's label: ${optionElement.label}`);
optionElement.label = "Updated label";
