FYI. Solution to my problem in case anyone else has a similar problem

Using wet.

Iterate over all the tables in the page. Find the index of the table
that matches the desired text. Use the index to access the table.

 for i in 1..ie.tables.length # count of all tables in the page  
      index = "index:=".concat(i.to_s)     
      text = Browser("title:=MyPage").Table(index.to_s).text
      md = /^Names \([0-9]+\)$/.match(text)   
      if (md != nil)
        break
      end
 end
 Browser("title:=MyPage").Table(index).fire_event("onClick")

Subject: [Wtr-general] (nested?) table access - need help.

Hi

The developers on the application I'm testing have replaced a (menu)
table of url links with rad panel control ( a 3rd party js control from
telerik ). 

Using table = @ie.table(:index , i) in a loop, in the console I can see

tabletype:         
id:           PersonLinks_collapsableLinks
name:         
value:        
disabled:     false
rows:         34
cols:         1

Using
row = @ie.table(:id , 'PersonLinks_collapsableLinks')[3]
puts(row[1].to_s)

In the console I see ( )

Names (6)
Addresses (15)
Phone Numbers (6)
Photos (21)
Physical Descriptions (4)
Scars, Marks, Tattoos (10)
Miscellaneous IDs (1)
Contacts (1)
Dossier
Known Associates (0)
Criminal History

Does this suggest that the one cell contains all of the items listed
above ?

What I was wanting to be able to do was access individual cell and then
use .fire_Event("onClick") on it to trigger the menu items. I managed to
get this to work for the 1st level of the menu ( details ). 

table = @ie.table(:id , 'PersonLinks_collapsableLinks')
table[3][0].flash
table[3][0].fire_event("onClick")

The control then expands out the 2nd level of the menu with all of the
items listed above.

By counting the <tr> in the src for the table I can see why the 34 rows.
This must also count up the nested tables? 

How can I access the nested table in order to access the row/cell within
that? I can't use id as that tag hasn't been defined for the nested
table ?

thanks

Src for the table is :

</script><span id="PersonLinks_collapsableLinksStyleSheetHolder"
style="display:none"></span><script

bleLinks', '/LEAP/Web/UI/Style/panelbar.css');</script><table
