Subject: Re: Not able get the label text incurred with <input> element

The text is in the div, not linked to the checkboxes. Looks like poorly 
organised html.

If you know the value you want, then you could do this (examples given 
in watir-webdriver, which you REALLY need to start using for the sake of 
your own sanity):

driver.checkbox(:value => '9556609').set

If you have to work out which of the div's text rows goes with which 
checkbox you'd probably have to do it via indices. Extracting the div's 
text didn't take the newlines so I had to split by spaces.

my_div = driver.div(:id => 'filtersetedit_fieldNames')
name_array = my_div.text.split
name_array.each_with_index do |name, idx|
  puts "name: #{name} value: #{my_div.checkbox(:index, idx).value}"
end

output:

name: John value: 5418630
name: Ram value: 6360899
name: Smith value: 9556609
name: Paul value: 20156687

Once you have the names and corresponding values you can set whichever 
one you like.

And slap the person who wrote that html.
