Using Keys to switch between multiple cells in an HTML table.
I need to automate an HTML table in Chrome, and there is currently not a table designer to do so. Is it possible to use Keys/Clones to read the table and select the correct cell/button? I have not been able to find much information on using keys and every time I try to use one of the examples in the Help file I get the 'Expected Key to be set upstream for component:' error. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks that was the missing bit of information I needed for everything else to make sense, and I was able to get this working.
James,
It is indeed possible and preferred approach in chrome to use Clones to iterate through the HTML table.
Example of a list loop to go through clones of a control:
Note that clones are not returned in a set order. So, the table returned may not be in the same order as seen on the webpage. Make sure to account for that in your automation.
