Hi Chuck,
Thank you for help.
I used the parent.
lists = $browser.div(:class,'add-themes').lis
numListStr = lists.length
lists.each do |li|
puts chckbx = li.text
davalue = $browser.label(:text, chckbx).parent.checkbox.value
puts davalue
end
I just want a specific section of checkboxes and there are more within the
window.
Thank you very much this is huge win.
Joe
