> Recording Java Applets with eValid

  When a Java Applet is present in the website you are testing, it
  requires special procedures to be able to properly record and
  playback your script. The most common thing that users come
  across is that can't record anything inside the Java Applet.

  (1) While in the Java Applet, go the the Advanced Preferences
      window by clicking "eValid > Settings > Preferences >
      Advanced Preferences" or by simply hitting the "F2" key twice.

  (2) In the Advanced Preferences dialog, make sure to have the
      Absolute events enabled such as the mouse clicks. This should
      enable eValid to record the absolute corrdinates of the cursor
      in the screen.

  (3) Start the recording. You will see that on each click, eValid
      records the exact coordinate of the cursor.

  (4) Try playing back the script. You'll notice that eValid resizes
      the browser to the size it was when the recording was made and
      clicks on the exact area where the click was recorded.

  Note: Having Absolute Mouse Clicks turned on creates a substantially
        long script as it records each and every mouse click performed
        in the browser during a recording.
