JavaScript API Reference: AdfRichTable .getWidth not working.

Question

Hello, I need to write a JAVASCRIPT function that returns the width of table every time is called. The table "id" is 't1'.
My first version of the function was something like this:
          function getElementWidth(event) {
              var tElem = document.getElementById('t1::ch');
              var tWidth = tElem.style.width;
              component = event.getSource();
              AdfCustomEvent.queue(component, "customEvent",{width : '' + tWidth},true);
              event.cancel();
          }The function works fine, still I don't like it because making use of 't1::ch' (which is actually a div inside a more elaborate css/html/javascript construct) is more like a hack.
My next idea was to write another function, making use of AdfPage.PAGE.findComponent.
The function should be something like this:
          function anotherFunction(event) {
             var table = AdfPage.PAGE.findComponent('t1');
             alert(table);
             alert(table.getWidth());
          }The firtst alert window shows: +AdfRichTable [oracle.adf.RichTable] id=t1+
The second alert window shows: null
Any ideea why the getWidth function is not working accordingly ?

I've changed the script.  I now create my path layer using the below function.  However, even after explicitly changing the ruler units to PIXELS, the paths I create all seem to be measured in POINTS.  Even if the original ruler unit is PIXELS this still happens.  Is there any way around this (that is backwards compatable)?
function createPathLayer(title, subPathArray)
    var docRef = app.activeDocument;
    var originalUnit = app.preferences.rulerUnits;
    alert("Orig units " + originalUnit);
    app.preferences.rulerUnits = Units.PIXELS;
    var myPathItem = docRef.pathItems.add(title, subPathArray);
    alert("New units " + Units.PIXELS);
    app.preferences.rulerUnits = originalUnit;
