Janet, i don't know if it would be any help but xpathexplorer is a big help for tricky x paths. and my team and i ran in to an issue with badly formated html code. we had an issue were webtest could not select a raidio button because of how it was imbeded in a table imporerly. try running jtidy on your code and making sure it is at standereds be4 uing webtest. i hope this helps in some way.
