Row count of table

Ruby
1

Hello all,
I am stuck up in finding the row count of a table in a HTML page through
Watir script. I am using row_count() function to find the number of rows
in the table. Its returning me incorrect number of rows in the table. I
tried accessing the table through xpath, since I did not have attribute
associated with the table. Following is the HTML of the table [obtained
through IE developer bar] whose row count I need:

The row_count() for the table inside the

gives as 9, instead of 2.
I am using the following xpath :
$ie.table(:xpath,
“//td[@id=‘ctl00_ContentPlaceHolder1_dtGridEmployees_dom’]/table”).row_count()

Am I going wrong anywhere? Please let me know.

Thanks,
Vani

you should post this to the watir group (

)
I think the problem you are having is because of nested tables
