HowTo verify numbers of rows in a table

One way to do it is to Assert that row n exists while  row n+1 does not exists with xpath, something like :
assertElementPresent | //table[@id='mytable']/tr[10] | |
assertElementNotPresent | //table[@id='mytable']/tr[11] | |
to verify table with id mytable does not have 10 elements

Another way is to use the storeassertXpath extension to count columns
assertXpath | count(//table[@id='mytable']/tr) | 10

    Here i am using GetXpathCount() and xpath to identify the row collection of the named ("mytable") table.

    Assert.AreEqual(3,selenium.GetXpathCount("xpath=id('mytable')/tbody/tr"),"Expected 3 rows in table");

    Here i am asserting my table contains 3 rows (including heading)

    Note that you need to use the tbody element, ...table/tbody/tr, even if it's not in your HTML code. It's an implicit element that is added by your browser when it builds up the DOM tree of your HTML page.

    (I only tested that on Firefox, but I guess IE and others behave the same)
