    // Aliases.frameIframeresult = Sys.Browser("chrome").Page("https://www.w3schools.com/howto/tryit.asp?filename=tryhow_html_nested_table").Panel("container").Panel("iframecontainer").Panel("iframe").Panel("iframewrapper").Frame("iframeResult")
    var frame = Aliases.frameIframeresult;
    var table1 = frame.FindElement("/html/body/table");
    Sys.HighlightObject(table1);
    
    var table2 = table1.FindElement("//*/td[2]/table");
    Sys.HighlightObject(table2);
   
    var cells = table2.FindElements("//*/td[2]/table/tbody/tr");
    for (var i = 0; i < cells.length; i++) {
        Sys.HighlightObject(cells[i]);
    }
}
