I am changing your id to current-month  having no space   alert     current-month   attr  month     alert     current-month   attr  year

Firstly  I don t think spaces for an id is valid   So i d change the id to not include spaces    lt label year  2010  month  6  id  currentMonth  gt  June  amp nbsp 2010 lt  label gt    then the jquery code is simple  keep in mind  its better to fetch the jquery object once and use over and over agian   var label       currentMonth    var month   label attr  month    var year   label attr  year    var text   label text

While this question is rather old  and has been answered  I thought I d take the time to offer a couple of options that are  as yet  not addressed in other answers   Given the corrected HTML  camelCasing the id attribute-value  of    lt label year  2010  month  6  id  currentMonth  gt  June  amp nbsp 2010 lt  label gt    You could use regular expressions to extract the month-name  and year      gets the eleent with an id equal to  currentMonth      retrieves its text-content     uses String prototype trim   to remove leading and trailing white-space  var labelText       currentMonth   text   trim           finds the sequence of one  or more  letters  a-z  inclusive         at the start     of the string  and retrieves the first match from        the array returned by the match   method      month   labelText match    a-z   i  0          finds the sequence of numbers   d  of length 2-4   2 4   characters         at the end     of the string      year   labelText match   d 2 4     0      x000D   x000D  var labelText       currentMonth   text   trim    x000D      month   labelText match    a-z   i  0   x000D      year   labelText match   d 2 4     0   x000D   x000D  console log month  year   x000D   lt script src  https   ajax googleapis com ajax libs jquery 2 1 1 jquery min js  gt  lt  script gt  x000D   lt label year  2010  month  6  id  currentMonth  gt  June  amp nbsp 2010 lt  label gt  x000D   x000D   x000D    Rather than regular expressions  though  you could instead use custom data-  attributes  which work in HTML 4 x  despite being invalid under the doctype  but are valid under HTML 5     x000D   x000D  var label       currentMonth    x000D      month   label data  month    x000D      year   label data  year    x000D   x000D  console log month  year   x000D   lt script src  https   ajax googleapis com ajax libs jquery 2 1 1 jquery min js  gt  lt  script gt  x000D   lt label data-year  2010  data-month  6  id  currentMonth  gt  June  amp nbsp 2010 lt  label gt  x000D   x000D   x000D    Note that this will output 6  for the data-month   rather than  June  as in the previous example  though if you use an array to tie numbers to month-names  that can be solved easily    x000D   x000D  var monthNames     January    February    March    April    May    June    July    August    September    October    November    December    x000D      label       currentMonth    x000D      month   monthNames  label data  month   - 1   x000D      year   label data  year    x000D   x000D  console log month  year   x000D   lt script src  https   ajax googleapis com ajax libs jquery 2 1 1 jquery min js  gt  lt  script gt  x000D   lt label data-year  2010  data-month  6  id  currentMonth  gt  June  amp nbsp 2010 lt  label gt  x000D   x000D   x000D    Similarly  the above could be easily transcribed to the native DOM  in compliant browsers     x000D   x000D  var monthNames     January    February    March    April    May    June    July    August    September    October    November    December    x000D      label   document getElementById  currentMonth    x000D      month   monthNames  label dataset month - 1   x000D      year   label dataset year  x000D   x000D  console log month  year   x000D   lt script src  https   ajax googleapis com ajax libs jquery 2 1 1 jquery min js  gt  lt  script gt  x000D   lt label data-year  2010  data-month  6  id  currentMonth  gt  June  amp nbsp 2010 lt  label gt  x000D   x000D   x000D    References    JavaScript   HTMLElement dataset  Regular Expressions Guide  String prototype match    String prototype trim     jQuery   data

Use  attr     current month   attr  month      current month   attr  year     And change the labels id to   lt label year  2010  month  6  id  current month  gt  June  amp nbsp 2010 lt  label gt

You can use the attr method  For example  if you have a jQuery object called label  you could use this code   console log label attr  year        logs the year console log label attr  month        logs the month
