Selenium WebDriver Java - Clicking on element by label not working on certain labels -

i trying click on element label. here code using:

driver.findelement(by.xpath("id(//label[text() = 'label text here']/@for)")).click(); 

it works (select all) & hayward cant find los angeles, san fran, or san jose.

update:

for guess may best option until see better. allow user pass full string , function in method grab last word of string , insert contains xpath.

public void substringlocationtest(string location) {      string par = location.substring(location.lastindexof(" ") + 1);      driver.findelement(by.xpath("//label[contains(text(), '" + par + "')]")).click();  } 

here html code:

you can use xpath locater. example:

d.findelement(by.xpath("//...../label[contains(@for,'reportviewer1_ctl04_ctl03_divdropdown_ctl02')]")).click();
