> Recording Applications Within eValid

  We have in some instances, come across the need to be able to interact
  with an application embedded in the browser. A very good example is
  Adobe Acrobat. It is at times important to be able to record within
  these applications rather than just being able to record normally.

  (1) Locate a page where it requires the browser to load the Adobe
      Acrobat reader in order to view the page correctly.

  (2) Once the application has been launched, begin your recording
      and turn on the Application Recording Mode. You will see in
      the script window that a commented line shows that the application
      mode has been turned on. In some cases where there is no application
      present in the page, the Application Mode Recording will not
      initialize.

  (3) Go through the page just as you normally do. In the script windows,
      all the user actions are recorded just as in a normal mode, including
      keyboard events and text inputs.

  (4) As you playback the script, all the commands performed within the
      application is replayed by eValid with the utmost ease.

  Tip: To see if your page has an application or an applet, simply view the
       source of the page and look for tags which either refer to it as
       an application or an applet. The application should normally
       contain an embed tag or an object tag. However, it is also
       possible that it contains both. An applet however, normally
       contains an applet tag.
