Example program for Handling Web Table

*********************************************************

package com.seleniumbasics;

import java.util.List;

import org.openqa.selenium.By;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;

public class WebTable_Example_Count_Rows_Columns {

public static void main(String[] args)
{

System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", ".\\drivers\\chromedriver.exe");
WebDriver driver=new ChromeDriver();
driver.navigate().to("http://the-internet.herokuapp.com/tables");


List col=driver.findElements(By.xpath("//*[@id=\"table1\"]/thead/tr/th"));
int no_of_columns=col.size();
System.out.println("Number of Columns in a web table : " + no_of_columns);

List rows=driver.findElements(By.xpath("//*[@id=\"table1\"]/tbody/tr"));
int no_of_rows=rows.size();
System.out.println("Number of rows/records in a webtable : " + no_of_rows);

}
