> Changing the Navigation Output of a Recording.

  When performing tests on a WebSite, it is vital to measure
  the performance of a web site based on various characteristics
  which the user can specify in the script after creating the
  recording.

  The format is entered as "Serve [Type]" is manually edited
  in the script.

  The Serve command instructs eValid to render only what is
  specified by the user.

  Serve Type:

  (1) FULL: Everything in the page is rendered.
  (2) TEXT: No images are rendered.
  (3) URL : Only the base page is returned. All associated
            files is not downloaded.

  Using the serve functions also have its disadvantages when
  it is used. The margin of error increases upon use of the
  TEXT and URL serve types. The average margin of error for
  the TEXT only command is 3:1 while URL only is 100:1. The
  FULL command does not have any margin of error since it
  downloads all the elements of the page. Therefor care must
  be observed when utilizing this command.

  More information about the Serve types can be found in the
  eValid Documentation.
