Got it:

label.html().length;

Thank you so much, Elaine!

Elaine,

I actually need the length of the string - not the value - oops!

Hey, resdesign-

You're getting the jQuery handle and not the value. Use sym.$("label").html();

I am trying to retreive the length of a string and I am getting a strange number. What is my mistake?

var label = sym.$("label");

alert(label.length);

the alert says: 1

( The text is 8 letters no space).
