[SalesForce] The element type “label” must be terminated by the matching end-tag

I am trying to create a visualforce page with some bootstrap in it.
I can't understand the error I get on these lines of code, line 2, I get this message:

Error: The element type "label" must be terminated by the matching end-tag "".

I think is correctly terminated, isn't it??

  <div class="form-group">
    <label for="rut">Rut Asugurado: <span class="glyphicon glyphicon-search"/></span></label>
    <input type="rut" class="form-control" id="rut"/>
  </div>

You are closing the span tag two times: <span class="glyphicon glyphicon-search"/></span>

Just replace it with: <span class="glyphicon glyphicon-search"></span>

[SalesForce] VF component attribute control outputPanel rendered

The correct syntax is as below

rendered="{!IF(location == 'left', true, false)}"

[SalesForce] get the label from apex:outputlabel tag using jQuery

You need quotes around the DOM id value in the for attribute selector. You also do not need the $ to apply 'ends with' selector matching, you already know the exact id value of the field being targeted and can use it directly.

You have this:

jQuery("label[for$=" + jQuery(field).attr('id') + "]")

instead you want do this (note the single quotes and the dropped $ modifier):

jQuery("label[for='" + jQuery(field).attr('id') + "']")

which would evaluate like this at runtime and match the label:
(presuming the label actually has a for attribute on it with this value)

jQuery("label[for='j_id0:j_id106:j_id107:j_id108:j_id117:newContactForm:NewContactAccountSelect']")

Somewhat related, if you add ids to all of the <apex: tags in your page, you can gain a slightly better looking element id hierarchy - if that is important to you. For example, if you give the <apex:page tag an id="thePage", the first node in the element id value would be thePage instead of j_id0.

Also, another question: Is it possible to remove the partialId's added by salesforce and get the actual Id of form element by using javascript, jQuery etc..,?

There is no such thing as a partial ID. Element id values are supposed to be unique in the page. In order to accomplish this when VF renders HTML, the hierarchy of tags in the page are evaluated and the id value of the DOM element is constructed in a way that guarantees uniqueness.

It looks like you have learned about the 'ends with' $ selector modifier but if you want to output the a DOM id value using a VF-native feature, you can do so with the $Component global function. This will render out the DOM ID of the component into the page.

For instance, if you were to add alert('{!$Component.NewContactAccountSelect}'); to your VF markup and you did it someplace where the renderer could find that component in the hierarchy, in your page source you would see alert('j_id0:j_id106:j_id107:j_id108:j_id117:newContactForm:NewContactAccountSelect'); and have an alert popped with that string value in it.

If $Component.NewContactAccountSelect couldn't be found in the hierarchy, you'll just get an empty string there in the alert.
