Hi ken

Thanks for your reply.

But I am not quite able to figure out how to use HTML::TableExtract to get the table cells as HTML::Element objects.

I am giving a very simple html table below, using the code I have already given above, can you please show me how can I use HTML::Element and get the attributes.

Assume that the page contains the following table : 

<html>
<title>Example table </title>
<head> MyTable</head><br><br>
<body>
<table border border ="1">
<tr>
    <td><FONT COLOR = "green">ID</td>
    <td> <FONT COLOR = "blue">NAME</td>
    <td> <FONT COLOR = "RED">DOB</td>
</tr>
<tr>
    <td>1</td>
    <td>XYZ</td>
    <td>1-1-2000</td>
</tr>
<tr>
    <td>2</td>
    <td>PQR</td>
    <td>1-11-2000</td>
</tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>
