It is being assumed that the element and label belong to the same container,
which might not be true when chaining elements.
Given the html:
````html
<div>
<span class="label">
<label for="my_label">My Label</label>
</span>
<span class="field">
<input type="text" name="my_label" id="my_label"/>
</span>
</div>
````
You can find the text field by its label when the container of the text field
includes the label:
````ruby
p browser.text_field(:label => 'My Label').exists?
#=> true
p browser.text_field(:name => 'my_label').label
#=> "My Label"
````
However, if you reduce the container to only include the text field, the label
is no longer found:
````ruby
p browser.span(:class => 'field').text_field(:label => 'My Label').exists?
#=> false
p browser.span(:class => 'field').text_field(:name => 'my_label').label
#=> `assert_exists': Unable to locate element, using {:tag_name=>["label"],
:for=>"my_label"} (Watir::Exception::UnknownObjectException)
````
