<tr style="background-color:#FBF7EA;" onclick="javascript:__doPostBack('ctl00$MasterPlaceHolder$GrdHistory','Select$14')" onmouseout="javascript:setMouseOutColor(this);" onmouseover="javascript:setMouseOverColor(this);">
<tr style="background-color:#FBF7EA;" onclick="javascript:__doPostBack('ctl00$MasterPlaceHolder$GrdHistory','Select$15')" onmouseout="javascript:setMouseOutColor(this);" onmouseover="javascript:setMouseOverColor(this);">

Is this possible, if so then how do i get the count without including the header row in the count. Please help me on this. Help will be appreciated.

Use below xpath to exclude first row (Headers)

//table[@id='ctl00_MasterPlaceHolder_GrdHistory']/tbody/tr[position()>1]

Thanks Santoshsarma for your reply. But the code does not work for me. It is giving the same count as before.

It should work Umamaheshwar. just try with >2 I think you understood how that position() method will work in xpath.

I suggest :

 count(table[@id="ctl00_MasterPlaceHolder_GrdHistory"]/tbody/tr) - 1

Try this code:

int count = (driver.findElements(By.xpath("//table[@id='ctl00_MasterPlaceHolder_GrdHistory']/tbody/tr")).size()) - 1;
