    Hi Tanvi,



    The fastest way is to ask develop to add a class or a id to the cell itself. For example:



    <td>Your ID:</td>

    <td id="yourid">83575</td>



    Now just search for an object which idStr is "yourid" and retrieve its textContent.





    Other way is to retrieve the "Your ID" cell, and do something like that:



    theId = yourIdObject.Parent.Cell(x, y).innerText;



    Where yourIdObject is the cell with textContent "Your ID", x is yourIdObject RowIndex property, and y is yourIdObject ColumnIndex + 1



    Hope it helped!
