How to get label associated with checkbox in Selenium webdriver?

Question

How can I print label associated with <input type="checkbox" />, like checkbox 1 or checkbox 2 in example below.

Checkbox Items:

<input type="checkbox" value="cb1" name="checkboxes[]">Checkbox 1 
<input type="checkbox" value="cb2" name="checkboxes[]">Checkbox 2 
<input type="checkbox" checked="checked" value="cb3" name="checkboxes[]">Checkbox 3

I am using below code to get the label name , but it doesn't work. getText() is also not working.

List<WebElement>  elementList = driver.findElements(By.name("checkboxes[]"));

System.out.println("checkbox1?  "+elementList.get(0).getAttribute("innerHTML"));`

HTML input tags are void elements & they do not need a closing tag and they are not designed for holding any text / other elements inside. Refernce .

So, getText() / getAttribute("innerHTML") on the 'input' tag element will not work. Find the parent element of the input tag, then find the innerText/innerHTML and parse it to get the text you want!.
