> Recording listbox navigation

  In certain websites, selecting an item from a pulldown listbox can
  cause a page navigation to the specified URL.  In cases where no
  navigation is recorded in eValid, a special approach in recording
  these fields is taken to make sure that the created script
  produces a consistent playback.

  To record the navigation from selecting an item from a listbox,
  follow these steps:

  (1) Start your recording.

  (2) Navigate to the page where the listbox is located.

  (3) Expand the listbox and highlight but not select the desired
      item from the listbox.

  (4) Once the item is highlighted, press the "Tab" button to move
      the focus of the cursor away from the listbox.

  (5) Check the script dialog box.  An InputValue command with the
      item and its parameters should be recorded in the script.

  (6) Continue with the recording normally.

  On playback, as soon as the InputValue command is executed, the
  listbox will automatically select the correct item and navigate to
  the specified URL.
