  var value = $("#textbox1").val();
                $("#label1").html(value);

$('#labelID').html ( $('#textboxID').val() );

val/html methods in jQuery act as getters and as setters. If you pass a value to them then they will set the value/html of the element to the passed value. If you just call val() you will get the value of the element.
