I assume you use the for attribute to associate labels with their
inputs. Try (of course you need to adapt the selector probably):

$('label').each(function() {

Nice one, Klaus!

You could also do it the other way around, iterating through the text  
inputs instead of the labels:

$('input:text').each(function() {
  $(this).val( $('label[for=' + this.id + ']').text() );
});
