Selenium: Dynamic clicking of radio button beside search result

Question

Hi all,

I'm a month-old with Selenium and so far all I use is the IDE. Haven't had the luxury of reading on RC (although I will be after this critical project). Anyway I would like to know how I could click the radio button beside a search result w/c does not always appear on the same position. W/ my limited knowledge in Selenium and programming, best solution I can think of is veryfyTextPresent on the text of the result then click blindly a couple of positions beside the text using xPath (? is this even doable ?). How could I do this in a less primitive manner?

So in this scenario I would verify Bingo! then would like to click on the radio button beside it
O xxxxxxxx
O xxxxxxxx
O xxxxxxxx
O Bingo!
O xxxxxxxx
O xxxxxxxx

However on different searches this could look like this
O Bingo!
O xxxxxxxx
O xxxxxxxx
O xxxxxxxx
O xxxxxxxx
O xxxxxxxx

Anyway I hope I've explained my problem clearly. Thanks in advance for all your comments, suggestions and guides. :)

Try using firebug to investigate any additional distinguishing properties for the radio button. If they do exist, use them to construct a CSS identifier. If not, (and if possible), ask the developer to add properties. Alternately, try posting the HTML tags from firebug for the radio button here..
