I need to access to a value in a checkbox, the atribute value has content, so i need to place the id somewhere else i created a label, but i have not access to that value 

alert(check[i].label); // doesnt work

where else can i place a value in checkbox. Please dont write that i can do this

  <input type='checkbox' id='bla' name='mybla' vlaue='myvalue'> Hy

Where can i place some other values ?

I tryed with this

<input type='checkbox' id='bla' name='mybla' vlaue='myvalue' label='myothervalue'> Hy

When I am being tempted to do this, I prefer to use a related hidden element to store the "other value". It feels cleaner to me, and I also don't have to wade through the validation warnings that otherwise could come at me.
Is that something you can use here?

It is indeed possible to store the extra data as a custom attribute on the <input> element. When you want to read the value, you can do it like this:

alert(check[i].getAttribute('label'));

Since you have tagged the question jQuery, here's the trendy version:

alert($(check[1]).attr('label'));

See these discussions if you are woried about using custom HTML attributes.
