Here's an example based on the following website https://www.w3schools.com/tags/tryit.asp?filename=tryhtml_tr,

function Test()
{
    var page = Aliases.browser.Page("https://www.w3schools.com/tags/tryit.asp?filename=tryhtml_tr").FindElement("#iframeResult")
    // Highlight Month
    var element = page.FindElement("/html/body/table/tbody/tr[1]/th[1]");
    Sys.HighlightObject(element);
    // Highlight $80
    var element = page.FindElement("/html/body/table/tbody/tr[3]/td[2]");
    Sys.HighlightObject(element);
}

It uses XPath to find the element and then highlights it.
