Hello,  
I am trying to implement the Get Table Cell Element keyword on my automation code (Well, we are creating a framework from scratch). The table element is in an iframe and I am directly providing indexes on column and row names like below  
${ele}= Get Table Cell Element #frame1 \>\>\> #iframe2 \>\>\> //table[@class=‘table-class name’] 1 1  
Should Be Equal As Strings ${ele} ${Name}

Highlight Elements #frame1 \>\>\> #iframe2 \>\>\> //table[@class=‘table-class name’]  
#The above line of code highlights the table. So the table selector is good.

But I am receiving the error at line 1–\> “Execution context was destroyed, most likely because of a navigation.” I tried all combination of providing the column and row names with elements selector and column names. Also tried to provide the table element selector as a variable but in vain. Any inputs on this would help.

Robocorp code version used v0.39.0  
Robot Framework Language Server v1.5.0

Should not the result value of the third example in docs be “xylix” instead of “@mkorpela”?

It wasn’t clear to me what your question was about, but now I see what you mean, So I’ll attempt to clarify the question.

given the table:

| GitHub | Slack | Real Name |
| --- | --- | --- |
| mkorpela | @mkorpela | Mikko Korpela |
| aaltat | @aaltat | Tatu Aalto |
| xylix | @KerkkoKerkko Pelttari | Kerkko Pelttari |
| Snooz82 | @René | René Rohner |

And the example:

```python
${e}= Get Table Cell Element ${table} "mkorpela" "Kerkko Pelttari" # column does not need to be in row 0
Get Text ${e} == @mkorpela

```

Should the `Get Text` line should be `xylix` instead of `@mkorpela`?
