Simplistically (if no masked rows):

 

// Place The Cursor Inside A Table Cell:
var myTable = app.selection[0].parent.parent;
alert( "Table Width / Height:\r" + myTable.width.toFixed(2) + " / " + myTable.height.toFixed(2) )

Hi Peeyush,

To check the width and height of a table in InDesign CS6, you can use the Table panel or the Control panel. First, select the table by clicking on it with the Type tool. Then, open the Table panel by navigating to Window > Type & Tables > Table. In the Table panel, you will see options for Column Width and Row Height, which will give you the dimensions of your table. Alternatively, you can use the Control panel at the top of the screen, which will display the width and height of the selected table. You can also resize the table by dragging its edges while holding down the Shift key to maintain proportions.

Design smarter, faster, and bolder with InDesign scripting.
