[Wtr-general] Can I access caption attribute of a checkbox?

Fri Jun 16 01:12:59 EDT 2006

Hi,

Which watir version are you using? Latest version has a method called
'attribute_value' that you can try that to get the value of 'caption'
attribute. So you try the following:

ie.checkboxes[1].attribute_value("caption")

Regards,
Angrez
