  Hi,
  
  You can get all the links in a web page into a variable like this:

  var $x = new Array();
  _set($x,  top.document.links);
  

  For extracting links specifically from a web table alone, I think more thinking would be needed

  Thanks a lot pankaj.
  
  I Understand that taking values from the table requires more thinking and I will do it.
  
  I am trying to get the names of the links on a message box. And following is the code
  
  
  _setValue(_textbox("q"), "fhgfgh");
  _click(_submit("Google Search"));
  var $x = new Array();
  _set($x, top.document.links);
  _alert($x[1]);
  
  But when I run this it throws an error. I dont know why can you help me on this.

  I used a similar alert here but it works fine for me. I am using an older version of sahi. if u r using the latest version (with rhino) you may have to use a function that will return the array of stored links. and use the tag <browser></browser> around the function. Hope it will help you.

  Thanks Pankaj. That was really an eye opener for me. I tried by creating a function and call it in the following way.
  
  _setValue(_textbox("q"), "bang");
  _click(_submit("Google Search"));
  _alert(getlinkname());
  
  <browser>
  function getlinkname(){
  return (top.document.links[2]);
  }
  </browser>
  
  Now It shows me the alert with the URL of the link and not the link name.
  Have I done it the right way.

  Yup
  Now You can fiddle around with the idea to get links from a web table.
  All the best

  How about this to get the link name:
  
  return (top.document.links[2].name);
  
  Were you trying to get the text encapsulated by the link tags? In that case, you would want to use the innerHTML property
  
  return (top.document.links[2].innerHTML);
  
  You can read about it here:

  You'll get more mileage out of Sahi if you familiarize yourself with the HTML Document Object Model.
