[CS3 JS]Get all the tables in the document

Question

Hello All,
I want to return all of the tables in the document, including those in table cells. I am using this:
var aTables = app.activeDocument.stories.everyItem().tables.everyItem().getElements();
but it doesn't get tables inside of tables. Is there an easy way to do this without checking each table cell? Thanks in advance.

Hi Robin and Dave,
Thanks for your replies. This seems to work fine regardless of the nexting level.

var oDocTables = app.activeDocument.stories.everyItem().tables.everyItem().getElements();
if (oDocTables.length)
  oDocTables = GetAllTables(oDocTables);
alert(oDocTables.length);
function GetAllTables(oTables)
  for(var i=0; i < oTables.length; i++)
    var oCells = oTables[i].cells;
    for (var j=0; j < oCells.length; j++)
      var oCellTables = oCells[j].tables.everyItem().getElements();
      if (oCellTables.length)
        oTables = oTables.concat(oCellTables);
  return oTables;
