Is it possible to set "for"(AssociatedControlID) attribute using jQuery? I am trying something like this to set it to the very next control that appears after label:

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

      var toAssociate = $(this).next(':input');

      $(this).attr("for", toAssociate.attr("id"));

});

The problem is that if I don't set it on a server through AssociatedControlID it never gets here since it's rendered as span instead of label in that case. Is there a way to overcome this or I have to do it on a server?
