Hi All,

Was able to resolve it by spending some more thought on it :)). Did the 
following:
------
#Store all the checkbox names in a names array and compare the checkbox 
name to check it
allChkBoxes = checkboxForm.checkboxes
chkNames = []
allChkBoxes.each do |chkBx|
  chkNames = chkBx.name
  checkboxForm.checkbox_with(:name => "#{chkNames}").check
end
------
