how to store number of rows of a table

I have a table, how can I store number of table rows in an element through IDE command?

Also I want to locate the table, but not through xpath here, becoz my page design may change later, but I know the table title which is fixed. After this text, I have a table. I want to know the reference of this table. (this table has no id)

something like
[<]span id="text"[>]table title[<]/span[>]
[<]div[>]aaa[<]/div[>]
[<]table[>]
[<]tr[>] [<]td[>]xxx [] []
[<]tr[>] [<]td[>]yyy [] []
[<]/table[>]

I want to know the no.of rows as 2.
Is it possible?

hi,
you can use the following command to get the total row numbers:

storeElementIndex ( locator, variableName )

Get the relative index of an element to its parent (starting from 0). The comment node and empty text node will be ignored.

Arguments:

* locator - an element locator pointing to an element
* variableName - the name of a variable in which the result is to be stored.

Returns:
of relative index of the element to its parent (starting from 0)

For example use the following link:

Best of luck.

Hi,
could you expalin in detail?
storeElementIndex ( locator, variableName ) is not working for me.
storeElementIndex | //table[3]/tbody/tr/td[2]/table[2] | variableName

If I access ${variableName} is giving 4, but the no.of rows is not 4.
Please help.

hi,
how many row you have in that table?

12, but I'm not getting 12.
I was using
store | javascript{document.getElementsByTagName('table')[5].rows.length} | size, but this is also not working.

hi,

Use xpath instead of DOM locator to get table row and column.

Syntax for table row

storeXpathCount | //table[@id='form1:dataTable1']/tbody[@id='form1:dataTable1:tbody_element']/tr | row |

Note: This will not count header of table in which heading for each column define.

Syntax for table column:

storeXpathCount | //table[@id='form1:dataTable1']/tbody[@id='form1:dataTable1:tbody_element']/tr[2]/td | col|

Note: the above command will give you the column present in row 3


Try this and will work fine. Best of luck.

Yes, it's working fine
