Working with Dynamic Webtables

In previous session we have seen how to handle web tables, in  this script we see how dynamically get the tr and td's i.e rows and columns and display the content on the console.

Go to this site : http://www.w3schools.com/tags/tag_table.asp
and display all the information


First need to find the no. of rows by tag

and the columns by tag
Then get the size and loop through to print all the values in each cell.


Script :

	package com.session5;
	import java.util.List;
	import org.openqa.selenium.By;
	import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
	import org.openqa.selenium.WebElement;
	import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;
	public class WebTableDynamic {
	public static void main(String[] args) throws InterruptedException {
	// TODO Auto-generated method stub
	System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver","yourpath/chromedriver");
	WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
	driver.get("http://www.w3schools.com/tags/tag_table.asp");
	Thread.sleep(8000);
	WebElement table = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[@id='main']/table[2]/tbody"));
	List<WebElement> rows = table.findElements(By.tagName("tr"));
	System.out.println(rows.size());
	// to the col..
	for(int rownum=1;rownum<rows.size();rownum++){
	// how to get the col..
	List<WebElement> cells = rows.get(rownum).findElements(By.tagName("td"));
	// fetch the col cells..
	for (int col=0;col<cells.size();col++){
	System.out.println(cells.get(col).getText());
	}
	System.out.println("******");
	}
	}
	}
