How to get a Parent object when i have a child object using VB script

Hi



I am trying to write a code which will search through the web page with the help of page object(which I have name mapped).Once I find the object which has innertext="abc" then I would have also to find the multiple occurences of these innertext and know their parents so that i can then know which of these objects have the same parent so that they would become sibblings and then compare their inner text.



I need this code in VB script in a urgent way Any help would be appreciated





I have the following situation where I have to compare the values of two table cells data to check whether they are equal or not



TABLE Structure 



                COLUMN_1   COLUMN_2



  ROW 1       ABC                      ABC



  ROW 2       DEF                         XYZ





I would want to compare the values in the cells in this tables which are there in the webpage to make sure they are equal



Thanks in Advance

    Hi Anand,

    You can use the FindAllChildren method to retrieve all objects which match a specific criteria regardless of their location in the objects hierarchy (see the "FindAllChildren Method" help topic (http://www.automatedqa.com/support/viewarticle/12741/) for more information).







    know their parents



    You can use the Parent property for that. Please see the "Parent Property" help topic (http://www.automatedqa.com/support/viewarticle/13203/) for more information.

    You can use the approach described in the "Parsing HTML Tables" (http://www.automatedqa.com/support/viewarticle/12719/) help topic to work with the table and retrieve the needed data.
