> Validating Number of Form Elements in a Page

  In functional testing, it is often necessary to "validate" the
  number of form elements on a Web page to make sure that the
  appropriate selections have been made even without changing the
  value in a specific form element.  This however, will result in a
  longer script since eValid basically gets all elements in a page
  during recording.

  Because all form elements are automatically recorded, changes can
  conveniently be made directly in the script to reflect the
  appropriate selections without having to re-record an entirely new
  script.  Here's how to do it:

  (1) Navigate to the WebSite you want to test.

  (2) Start your eValid recording.

  (3) In the eValid preferences, check "Include Default Form
      Elements".

  (4) Select the desired options in the page and click submit.

  (5) As you will observe in the script dialog window, all form
      elements are automatically recorded in the script.

  (6) Stop recording and playback.

  (7) During playback, you will notice that eValid automatically
      makes the appropriate changes based on the script even if you
      DID NOT touch the other elements during recording.
