Perhaps getting the ID of the input field and then finding all labels and
checking their "for" attributes? Or as mentioned, input.parentNode if
wrapped properly.

I typically don't use js for validation, and assign a class as I throw any
errors in validation back to the UI (this should be done anyway, so I find
it redundant to also do it in js).
