is there way to get cell count?

sumeet

A table has multiple rows for the column "Status" which holds "success" "failure" "warning" etc. I needed to get count of the cell for each type of status. Any idea?

Easiest would be to write a browser function

<browser>
function getCount(status){
  var count = 0;
  var colIndexOfStatus = 6; 
  var table = _table("id");
  for (var i=0; i<table.rows.length; i++){
     if (_getText(table.rows[i].cells[colIndexOfStatus]) == status) count++;
  }
  return count;
}
</browser>

var $countSuccess = 0;
_set($countSuccess, getCount("success"));
_alert($countSuccess);

Yes, that is what I did but have that function stored in common functions sahi script. But I thought if JS or Sahi provides some kind of API, as it will be great help to do data compare.

Wish I'd found this earlier... would have saved some time Still, I came up with an alternate solution that might not be as foolproof but could be used for any text on a page using outerHTML (though you could use inner as well if you don't want the tags)...

// count the occurrences of $string on a page. Pass sahi objects outerHTML attribute
function countStrings($string) {
var $count = 0;
_set($page, document.body.outerHTML);
_set($count, $page.split($string).length -1);
return($count);
}

$count = countStrings("<TD>unit </TD>");
_alert($count);

Woops... of course to replace my call with:

_set($count, getTemplateCount($template));
_alert($count);
