Check a Web check box based on adjacent value

[zbatev 1]

How can I tick the check box based on the adjacent value (OPTION A, OPTION B...]

I'm asking this because I'm not in control of the site and I observed that from time to time the input ID or NAME changes.

<tr class="table_item">
        <td align="center" style="width:10%;">
            <input name="dGroup:_ctl3:my_checkbox" type="checkbox" id="dGroup__mcl3_my_checkbox" onclick="TakeAction()" value="0" />
        </td>
            <td align="left" style="width:80%;">[OPTION A]</td>
    </tr>
    <tr class="table_item">
        <td align="center" style="width:10%;">
            <input name="dGroup:_ctl4:my_checkbox" type="checkbox" id="dGroup__mcl4_my_checkbox" onclick="TakeAction()" value="1" />
        </td>
        <td align="left" style="width:80%;">[OPTION B]</td>
    </tr>
    <tr class="table_item">
        <td align="center" style="width:10%;">
            <input name="dGroup:_ctl5:my_checkbox" type="checkbox" id="dGroup__mcl5_my_checkbox" onclick="TakeAction()" value="2" />
        </td>
        <td align="left" style="width:80%;">[OPTION C]</td>
    </tr>
    <tr class="table_item">
        <td align="center" style="width:10%;">
            <input name="dGroup:_ctl6:my_checkbox" type="checkbox" id="dGroup__mcl6_my_checkbox" onclick="TakeAction()" value="3" />
        </td>
        <td align="left" style="width:80%;">[OPTION D]</td>
    </tr>
    <tr class="table_item">
        <td align="center" style="width:10%;">
            <input name="dGroup:_ctl7:my_checkbox" type="checkbox" id="dGroup__mcl7_my_checkbox" onclick="TakeAction()" value="4" />
        </td>
        <td align="left" style="width:80%;">[OPTION E]</td>
    </tr>
    <tr class="table_item">
        <td align="center" style="width:10%;">
            <input name="dGroup:_ctl8:my_checkbox" type="checkbox" id="dGroup__mcl8_my_checkbox" onclick="TakeAction()" value="5" />
        </td>
        <td align="left" style="width:80%;">[OPTION f]</td>
    </tr>

Look at _IEFormElementCheckBoxSelect function.

yeah I am still lurking inside this help file

Look at _IEFormElementCheckBoxSelect function.

this is only good if the web developer has a default value and/or if there is an index but what if the checkbox is like this:

<input id="chkboxIncluded" type="checkbox" name="chkboxIncluded" onclick="javascript:msgCounterMessage();" />
        <label  for="chkboxIncluded">Include?</label></td>

Well I could use the click event in this case but I think it would be much safer to use the _IEFormElementCheckBoxSelect function to be able to explicitly assign a true/false(checked/unchecked) value to it.
