Ok, this is pretty simple, but if you've ever wished that the DOM exposed a label property for any form element that had a label specified for it, well, you'll enjoy this.

!! UPDATED A FEW POSTS DOWN !!

Code:

function addLabelProperties( f )
{
    var labels = f.getElementsByTagName( "label" );
    for ( var i = 0; ( label = labels[i] ); i++ )
        f.elements[label.htmlFor].label = label;
}

Just pass it a reference your form and voila! You now have element.label
