Title: Tricky checkbox selection

When you installed Watir, the API doc was also installed.  This is straight from that doc:   checkbox(how, what=nil ,value=nil) This is the main method for accessing a check box. Usually an <input type = checkbox> HTML tag.  *  how   - symbol - how we access the check box , :index, :id, :name etc *  what  - string, int or re , what we are looking for, *  value - string - when  there are multiple objects with different value attributes, this can be used to find the correct object returns a CheckBox object Valid values for ‘how’ are    :index      - find the item using the index in the container ( a container can be a document, a TableCell, a Span, a Div or a P                 index is 1 based   :name       - find the item using the name attribute   :id         - find the item using the id attribute   :beforeText - finds the item immediately before the specified text   :afterText  - finds the item immediately after the specified text Typical usage    ie.checkbox(:id, 'send_email')                   # access the check box with an id of send_mail   ie.checkbox(:name, 'send_copy')                  # access the check box with a name of send_copy   ie.checkbox(:name, /n_/ )                        # access the first check box whose name matches n_   ie.checkbox(:index, 2)                           # access the second check box on the page ( 1 based, so the first field is accessed with :index,1) In many instances, checkboxes on an html page have the same name, but are identified by different values. An example is shown next.  <input type = checkbox name = email_frequency value = 'daily' > Daily Email <input type = checkbox name = email_frequency value = 'Weekly'> Weekly Email <input type = checkbox name = email_frequency value = 'monthly'>Monthly Email Watir can access these using the following:    ie.checkbox(:id, 'day_to_send' , 'monday' )         # access the check box with an id of day_to_send and a value of monday=> ie.checkbox(:name ,'email_frequency', 'weekly')     # access the check box with a name of email_frequency and a value of 'weekly'   There are some very good examples in the unittests located in the install directory for Watir.   Hope this helps,   --Mark   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Paatsch, Bernd Sent: Monday, January 23, 2006 10:23 AM To: wtr-general@rubyforge.org Subject: [Wtr-general] Tricky checkbox selection   Hello, I have following html code and like to select the checkbox for "Test3".
