How to get the content of a tag inside a label

How can get the content of the b tag?

<label for="onde">
    <b>qua qua text</b>
    <textarea name="onde"></textarea>
&开发者_如何学编程lt;/label>

I am trying this with no success:

$('textarea[name=onde]').prev().val();

$('label[for="onde"] b').text();

should do it

You were close:

$( 'textarea[name="onde"]' ).prev().text()
