> Navigational Commands Explained

  Users are often confused by the different navigation commands
  recorded by eValid.  It is essential to know the basic difference
  between each navigation command to aid in a better understanding
  of how the script command structure is developed during a
  recording session.

  Understanding these navigational commands enables a user to hand
  edit the navigation parts of the script to produce desired results
  during script playback.

  Below are the navigation commands recorded in eValid and a brief
  description on how these commands are recorded:

  (1) GotoLink:  This command is the same as typing the URL you want
      to visit in the address bar of the browser and pressing return
      where you actually "Go to" the page without clicking on any
      links from the previous page visited.

  (2) FollowLink:  A FollowLink command is recorded when the user
      clicks on the link from within a page.

  (3) WaitRedirect:  A WaitRedirect is recorded when eValid detects
      additional navigation away from the target page recorded from
      the previous navigation command.

  (4) Redirect:  A Redirect command, essentially the same as a
      WaitRedirect command is recorded instead of a GotoLink when an
      additional navigation is detected by eValid.
