Adds a label before the datepicker. If the datepicker has no id attribute, a generated id will be assigned. The string and the function parameters are setting the inner HTML of the label.

Example - create a label from a string

<input id="datepicker" /> <script> $("#datepicker").kendoDatePicker({ label: "Date" }) </script>

The function context (available through the keyword this) will be set to the widget instance.

Example - create a label from a function

<input id="datepicker" /> <script> $("#datepicker").kendoDatePicker({ label: function() { return "Date"; } }) </script>
