Resolving The Problem

Use the getChildren method.

When run on an object, the getChildren method returns an array of objects that are the children of that object. These child objects may or may not be mappable objects.

From XDE Tester's perspective, HTML table cells may not be the immediate children of an HTML table. The table cells may be seen as the children of a table row object, which is seen as the child of the table body object, which in turn is the immediate child of the HTML table. Therefore, the getChildren method may need to be run on the object's children, grandchildren, etc. to retrieve the HTML table cell objects.

Once the table cell objects are retrieved, the getProperty method can be run to find the value of the attribute in question, for example

TestObject[] children = Table_MyTable().getChildren();

System.out.println(children[i].getObjectClassName());
TestObject[] grandchildren = children[i].getChildren();

for(int j=0;j<grandchildren.length; j++)
{
System.out.print(" ");
System.out.println(grandchildren[j].getObjectClassName());
TestObject[] ggc = grandchildren[j].getChildren();

for(int k=0;k<ggc.length; k++)
{
System.out.print(" ");
System.out.print(ggc[k].getObjectClassName());
System.out.print(" - Table Cell Alignment: ");
System.out.println(ggc[k].getProperty("align"));
}//end of greatgrandchildren loop
}//end of grandchildren loop

getCellAttributes(Table_MyTable(), "align");

TestObject[] children = to.getChildren();
int childCount = ( children != null ? children.length : 0 );
for ( int i = 0; i < childCount; i++ )
{
if (children[i].getObjectClassName().equals("Html.TD"))
{
String tempProperty =
children[i].getProperty(attribute).toString();
tempProperty =
(tempProperty.equals("") ? "default" : tempProperty);
System.out.println(tempProperty);
}
getCellAttributes(children[i], attribute);
}//end of for loop
