eValid -- V8 Script Language Definitions and Explanations
Alphabetic Index of Commands
eValid Home

Notes on Format of Command Descriptions Errors, Warnings, or Notes of various kinds are issued to the message area during playback if problems are detected. Generally the goal of playback is to complete the script if possible, but eV.Manager may treat a playback with any messages as a FAILed test. Parameters in "quotes like this" are literal strings which cannot contain "'s or 's; (use your editor to include such characters in hex). All other parameters [not in quotes] are integers. Parameters that need additional explanations are marked. wid is the window identifier with "0" for the parent, and "1", "2",... for children. idx is the internal HTML element number (index) assigned by eValid. frame_path is the name of the frame and/or frame sequence, with "name:title" for labeled frames (if they have a non-blank title) and with "number:N" for unnamed frames, where N is a unique frame number (ordinal number) that depends on the frame position within the actual frameset for the page. The value of N starts with 0 (for the first encountered frame) and increases by +1, e.g. 1,2,3,4..., in an order that is internally determined and is unique to the page properties. Note that the frame_path will always be expressed in terms of an ordinal the "number:N" format if you have chosen the "Record Frame Names as Ordinal Values" setting in the eValid preferences. Also, in case a frame has no name, or in the case of an iframe which does not permit use of a frame_path, then eValid will use the "number:N" format to make sure there is no ambiguity. Commands that optionally result in a navigation will contain an additional last field [ NAV ] when navigation is required, and otherwise not. Commands that reference another file may require a [PATH] specification, that is, a fully qualified path, if the file is not found in the local folder.

Prolog and Postlog Commands
KEY	COMMAND SYNTAX	PROPERTIES	EXPLANATION	COMMENTS
STAN	# # Recording by eValid V8. # (c) Copyright by Software Research, Inc... # Recording made on: system # Recording started at: date #	Record Edit	This notice appears at the head of each recording. It documents the operating system that the recording was made on, as well as the time the recording was started.
STAN	# # Recording stopped at: date #	Record Edit	This notice appears at the end of each recording. It documents the time the recording was completed.
STAN	# # Insert-Recording Started at: date ... (Recording Inserted Here) ... # Insert-Recording Stopped at: date #	Record Edit	These notices appear at the beginning and end of an Insert Recording action.
STAN	ScreenSize [current screen resolution details]	Record Edit	This script command appears at the beginning of a Recording. It tells the user of the screen resolution used when the script was created.	A messagebox appears if the screen resolution used to playback a script is lower than the recorded screen size.
STAN	FontSize [current Size of Web Page Text]	Record Edit	This script command appears at the beginning of a Recording. It tells the user of the size of the web page's text used when the script was created.	On script playback, if the the web page text size differs from the recorded size, eValid will automatically resize the text to the recorded size.
STAN	ProjectID "Name" GroupID "Name" TestID "Name" LogID "Type"	Record Edit	These commands specify the Project, Group, Test and Log names. The ProjectID and GroupID are used to identify the project and group folders. The LogID "Type" command is used to determine the Log File Names. Two values for Type are supported: DEFAULT will cause eValid to use the Log File Names that were set in the Preferences Menu. AUTO will cause eValid to use Log File Names based on the standard suffixes to the filename set in TestID.

Script Identification and Naming
KEY	COMMAND SYNTAX	PROPERTIES	EXPLANATION	COMMENTS
STAN	LogID	Record Edit	These commands specify the Project, Group, Test and Log names. The ProjectID and GroupID are used to identify the project and group folders. The LogID "Type" command is used to determine the Log File Names. Two values for Type are supported: DEFAULT will cause eValid to use the Log File Names that were set in the Preferences Menu. AUTO will cause eValid to use Log File Names based on the standard suffixes to the filename set in TestID.
STAN	GroupID	Record Edit	The GroupID Name command is used as the name of the script file.
STAN	ProjectID	Record Edit	The ProjectID Name command is used as the name of the script file.
STAN	TestID	Record Edit	The TestID Name command is used as the name of the script file.

Navigation
KEY	COMMAND SYNTAX	PROPERTIES	EXPLANATION	COMMENTS
STAN	FollowLink wid idx "visible_text" "URL" "frame_path" [NO_NAV]	Record Edit Adaptive eVlite Synchronization	Follows the specified URL in the browser, waits for the page to come up (if it can within the required minimum time), and gives control back to the user. Note all fields are assigned automatically by eValid and are required during playback to match to those for the current page. Adaptive Playback is available for this command.	A Warning is issued if visible_text differs from what was recorded. A Warning is issued if URL-string differs from what was recorded.
STAN	GoBackTo wid step "URL" "frame_path"	Record Edit eVlite Synchronization	Goes Back to the previous page. The step number denotes the number of URLs to skip.	If previous page does not match, it goes to the page that was specified.
STAN	GoForwardTo wid step "URL" "frame_path"	Record Edit Synchronization	Presses the FORWARD button once. The step number denotes the number of URLs to skip.	If next page does not match it goes to the page that was specified.
STAN	GotoLink wid "URL" "frame_path"	Record Wizard Edit Adaptive eVlite Synchronization	Goes to the specified URL with the browser, waits for the page to come up (if it can within the required minimum time), and gives control back to the user. If the WebSite has frames active then the recording includes the frame_path of the frame; on playback this is the frame to which the browser is pointed with the URL. This action is the same as typing in a URL and pressing RETURN.	A Warning is issued if URL-string is not found or if retrieval time exceeds the preset maximum.
STAN	InitLink "URL"	Record Wizard Edit eVlite	Start the playback session from the specified URL. This commands overrides the effect of the current home URL, which is set with an environment variable. This command resets all timers (see Timer Section).	Normally this command is the first "active" command in a playback script. Wherever eValid is pointing before this command, evalid will return to the starting page after this command is complete. A WARNING is issued if URL-string is not found or if the page download time exceeds the preset maximum. Adaptive Playback is available for this command.
STAN	Redirect wid "URL" "frame_path"	Record Edit Synchronization	This command is recorded as a comment to view the URL's redirection. In some rare cases where the redirection does not work, one solution is uncomment the command to explicitly navigate to the URL specified.
STAN	Reload wid	Record Edit Synchronization	Reloads the current page.

Timing & StopWatch
KEY	COMMAND SYNTAX	PROPERTIES	EXPLANATION	COMMENTS
STAN	Delay msecs	Edit	Waits (ignoring any Delay Multiplier & Wait Ceiling settings) for the specified number of msecs (int). The regular internal timers run during a Delay operation.	eValid automatically imposes a ceiling of approximately 1.6 million seconds (approximately 455 hours) on the delay value it accepts.
STAN	ElapsedTime ["Message"]	Record Edit	Shows elapsed times in timing output file but does not reset the clock[s]. If the optional "Message" appears that message is inserted into the logfiles.
STAN	Wait msecs	Record Edit	During playback, waits msec milliseconds. All delays are multiplied by the current delay multiplier (the default value of 1.0 implies 100% TrueTime). The "wait-ceiling" specifies the maximum wait time.
STAN	PauseTimer	Edit	Pauses the timer.
STAN	ResumeTimer	Edit	Turns the timer back on if it was paused.
STAN	ResetTimer	Record Edit	Prints all timer[s] values and resets all timer[s]. Time resolution is 1.0 msec.

License and Version Options
KEY	COMMAND SYNTAX	PROPERTIES	EXPLANATION	COMMENTS
STAN	ValidAfter MM DD YYYY	Edit	Prohibits use of this script except after MM DD YYYY.
STAN	ValidUntil MM DD YYYY	Edit	Allows the script file to run until the specified date MM DD YYYY.
STAN	ValidVersion Major Minor Build	Edit	Prevents playback of the current script unless the current eValid version number detail meets these constraints: Major > 0; Minor < 100; Build < 1000. When this command is present in a playback script you will get an error message if the assertion about version numbers is found to be false. In that case, playback will not continue for that build. Example: eValid will satisfy the requirement imposed with this command:   ValidVersion 7 0 240.	This command works with eValid and does not require a particular feature key.

Cache Management
KEY	COMMAND SYNTAX	PROPERTIES	EXPLANATION	COMMENTS
STAN	DeleteCache	Record Edit	Deletes all current non-cookie entries the cache.
STAN	DeleteCookies	Record Edit	Deletes all current cookies in the cache.
STAN	DeleteSession	Record Edit	Ends the current browser session. (That is, this command flushes entries not in use from the password cache on the hard drive and resets the cache time used when sync mode is once-per-session [MSDN documentation]).	Unlike DeleteCache or DeleteCookies, DeleteSession does not (or should not) affect the browser sessions of other instances of eValid, but it may affect the browser sessions of child windows.

Wait Time/Date Manipulation
KEY	COMMAND SYNTAX	PROPERTIES	EXPLANATION	COMMENTS
STAN	IdleTimer ON IdleTimer OFF	Edit	The Idle Timer is OFF by default. This means idle time is NOT counted during playback. The user can turn idle time accounting ON with IdleTimer ON in the script file (recommended as a first or early command). When OFF none of the playback idle time (e.g. waiting for Lock, waiting for cache access, etc.) is counted in the timings for individual commands or the script as a whole. The END time (shown in the Log Files) thus represents the time the set of script commands has taken to execute (excluding idle time). Putting a ElapsedTime command at the end of the script will show the total time (Real Time) that the script took to run. If the IdleTimer ON command is used the end-of-playback time the ElapsedTime output will show the same time (accurate to between 1-10 msec depending on script length).
STAN	WaitDate MM DD	Edit	Waits until the system time's month and date meet or exceed the specified month 'MM' and the specified date 'DD'. The month parameter has a range of 01-12. The date parameter has a range of 01-31.	A Warning is issued if the specified month does not contain the specified date. A value specified over the valid range will cause a syntax error.
STAN	WaitDateTime MM DD hh mm	Edit	Waits until the system time's month, date, and time meet or exceed the specified month 'MM', the specified date 'DD', and the specified time 'hh':'mm' (hour:minute). The month parameter has a range of 01-12. The date parameter has a range of 01-31. The hour parameter has a range of 00-23. The minute parameter has a range of 00-59.	A Warning is issued if the specified month does not contain the specified date. A value specified over the valid range will cause a script syntax error.
STAN	WaitHH [value] WaitMM [value] WaitModHH [value] WaitModMM [value] WaitTime HH MM WaitTimeMod HH MM	Edit eVlite	Runs the scripts at a specific time based on the value specified in the Wait commands. For HH commands, the value parameter has a range of 00-23. For all MM commands, the value parameter has a range of 00-59. WaitTime will wait for the exact hour 'HH' and exact minute 'MM' before running the next command. WaitModHH will wait for the next exact hour that is a multiple of 'value' before running the next command. WaitModMM will wait for the next exact minute that is a multiple of 'value' before running the next command. WaitTimeMod will wait for the next exact hour that is a multiple of 'HH' and the next exact minute that is a multiple of 'MM' before running the next command. WaitMod commands should ideally use values that are exactly divisible into 24 (for HH) and 60 (for MM).	A value specified over the specified valid range will cause a script syntax error.
STAN	WaitRandomUniform lo-value hi-value	Edit	Waits a random number of milliseconds using a uniform distribution random number between the lo-value and the hi-value.

Synchronization Support
KEY	COMMAND SYNTAX	PROPERTIES	EXPLANATION	COMMENTS
PROF	clSyncRect wid x y w h checksum xySyncRect wid x y w h checksum (SyncOnScreenRect top-left-rect-x, top-left-rect-y width height checksum top-left-browser-x top-left-browser-y bottom-left-browser-x bottom-left-browser-y) (AbsValidateScreenRect ...)	Record Edit Desktop Synchronization	Allows the user to select an area of the screen to be validated by the checksum on the pixels. eValid will wait and recheck the selected screen rectangle until the checksum is found or until the time threshold (as set in the Advanced Preferences menu) is reached. The coordinates used during recording are relative to the client window (inside the browser). Note: The main frame will reposition itself if necessary.	(Both the previously named AbsValidateScreenRect and SyncOnScreenRect commands are deprecated in this release.)
PROF	SyncOnText wid "text" "frame_path"	Record Edit Synchronization	Allows the user to select text to be validated. eValid will wait until the text is found or until the time threshold (as set in the Advanced Preferences menu) is reached. This command is accessible from both the eValid window and with Ctrl-Y.	If no frame_path is specified the command assumes "frame:0".
PROF	SyncOnURL "URL"	Edit Synchronization	Waits until the indicated URL has been retrieved. If the URL returns a 404, eValid waits a short time (the synchronize retry interval) and tries again to get the indicated URL. Respects the maximum wait time value. Application Note: This feature lets any number of remote eValids all be loaded with the same script and all wait until someone "touches" the URL to launch all eValid's paying attention.
PROF	Lock Lock [n] Unlock	Edit Desktop Synchronization	Lock is used to lock the current eValid window in the desktop foreground to facilitate working with ModalDialogs, to provide for unique access to cache data, and to prevent other eValid's commands that require window focus from interfering with the current playback. Any concurrently executing eValid windows that use the Lock & Unlock commands will wait until there are no windows locked (i.e. in focus) before proceeding. Lock can take an optional number parameter that specifies the number of milliseconds before the lock times out. This is only effective if no Unlock command is given or if the Unlock command is not reached before the timeout. If no parameter is given a default of 60000 msecs (1 minute) is used. The Lock & Unlock commands are essential for scripts that involve ModalDialog commands, or for scripts which require focus to be maintained on a particular window. The block of eValid playback script commands that need to have exclusive focus locked should be wrapped in a Lock ... Unlock block, for example: ... Commands... Lock    SubmitClick [parameters]    ModalDialogWait 4000    ModalDialogEnter ... Unlock OtherCommands... ... Lock & Unlock can be used at other times to ensure that the script runs in the foreground and all other eValid processes will wail until no other eValid windows are locked before continuing script playback. Note 1: AbsMouse and Keyboard events implicitly lock the playback process for the duration of the command. However, use of Lock/Unlock will enhance the reliability. Note 2: SyncOnScreenRect locks the playback process before each attempt to validate the screen, and releases it after each attempt. It will NOT lock the process for the whole time it is attempting to validate. It will also be released when the validation has succeeded or has timed out. This allows multiple validations in different scripts to work concurrently.

Playback Oriented
KEY	COMMAND SYNTAX	PROPERTIES	EXPLANATION	COMMENTS
PROF	Adaptive [ "ON" | "OFF" ]	Edit	Turns the Adaptive Playback feature "ON" or "OFF". When "ON" the eValid playback engine behaves as intelligently as it can when encountering objects that have moved to a new location on the page, or have changed names or both.
PROF	Breakpoint "Name"	Edit	Pauses the Playback; puts message in Log with "Name". Playback must be resumed by user (by using the F8 key).
PROF	PlayValue "key" value	Edit	Click here for more information on PlayValue.
STAN	MessageBox "message"	Edit Desktop	Pops up a modal dialog box of a automatically determined size based on the message text saying: [eValid Modal Popup] "message" Click OK to Continue [OK] Everything stops pending the user clicking on OK.
STAN	MessageWindow "message" [time [ x y w h ]]	Edit Desktop	Pops up a window containing the "message". If time is specified then the window persists for the specified length of time (in seconds). If in addition the sizes are specified then the window will be of the specified width w and height h at location x y.	Note: The popup window generated by this command is a browser so it accepts HTML.
PROF	SecureDataID "name"	Record Edit Security	Declaring the name of a SecureDataID enables eValid to maintain state when in secure sessions. This command must directly follow EnterSecureZone. More than one can be entered, but each command has only a single parameter. Secure Data ID's will remain valid until an ExitSecureZone. If another EnterSecureZone is called before exiting the first secure zone, the SecureDataID(s) need to be respecified (or different ones need to be specified).
PROF	AuthenticateUser wid "username" "password"	Record Edit Security	This command is used to handle the Client Authentication processes. During browsing and recording, eValid displays its own dialog with simple explanations of the problem encountered. During playback of scripts and during site analysis runs this dialog is not displayed, but encounters with Client Authentications are recorded as MESSAGEs. Note that the first occurring Client Authentication command in a current script is the one that applies; second and subsequent instances in the same script are ignored. Modal popup suppression preferences do not apply to Client Authentication processes.
PROF	EnterSecureZone ExitSecureZone	Record Edit Security	During recording of a session that on playback will require processing of URL modifiers, the user can signal entry or exit from the "secure zone" by clicking on the corresponding eValid menu items or editing these commands into the script.  The initial state of "secure zone" processing is OFF.	Extra Precaution: Generally not required because eValid will handle most security issues implicitly.
PROF	SetUserAgent "user-agent-string"	Edit	If the string specified user-agent-string is non-blank, sets that string value as the user agent for eValid.	Once set the user agent string setting persists until eValid is re-launched.
STAN	WaitRedirect wid "url" "frame_path"	Record Edit eVlite Synchronization	When eValid detects a redirection, a WaitRedirect script command is inserted rather than a GotoLink command.	Adaptive Playback is available for this command.

Element-Oriented Events
KEY	COMMAND SYNTAX	PROPERTIES	EXPLANATION	COMMENTS
PROF	ElementClick wid idx [x y] "id" "visible_text" "frame_path" [NAV]	Record Edit Adaptive	Clicks on specified element. The optional x and y values specified are offsets within the object that are supplied by the DOM.	eValid will record these script commands if the user clicks on an HTML element that uses these events.
PROF	ElementDblClick wid idx [x y] "id" "visible_text" "frame_path" [NAV]	Record Edit Adaptive	Records double click on specified element. The x and y values specified are offsets within the object that are supplied by the DOM.	eValid will record these script commands if the user clicks on an HTML element that uses these events.
PROF	ElementBlur wid idx "id" "visible_text" "frame_path" [NAV]	Record Edit Adaptive	Sends an elementBlur event to the HTML element.	eValid will record these script commands if the user mouses out of an HTML element for which focus is sensitive to this event.
PROF	ElementFocus wid idx "id" "visible_text" "frame_path" [NAV]	Record Edit Adaptive	Sends an elementFocus event to the HTML element.	eValid will record these script commands if the user mouses over an HTML element for which focus is sensitive to this event.
PROF	ElementMouseDown wid idx [x y] "id" "visible_text" "frame_path" [NAV]	Record Edit Adaptive	Sends an onmouseDown event to the HTML element. Uses the NAV parameter if the event is expected to perform a navigation.	eValid will record these script commands if the user clicks on an HTML element that uses these events.
PROF	ElementMouseUp wid idx [x y] "id" "visible_text" "frame_path" [NAV]	Record Edit Adaptive	Sends an onmouseUP event to the HTML element. Uses the NAV parameter if the event is expected to perform a navigation.	Will record these script commands if the user clicks on an HTML element that uses these events.
PROF	ElementMouseOver wid idx x y "id" "frame_path" [NAV]	Record Edit Adaptive	Sends an onmouseover event to the HTML element. Uses the NAV parameter if the event is expected to perform a navigation. The x and y values specified are offsets within the object that are supplied by the DOM.
PROF	ElementMouseOut wid idx x y "id" "frame_path" [NAV]	Record Edit Adaptive Synchronization	Sends an onmouseout event to the HTML element. Uses the NAV parameter if the event is expected to perform a navigation. The x and y values specified are offsets within the object that are supplied by the DOM.
PROF	ButtonClick wid idx "id" "name" "label" "frame_path"	Record Edit Wizard Adaptive Synchronization	A FORM's radio button is pushed and its current status value is recorded. The Adaptive search looks for the first element whose name matches the string specified in the script file. If the specified name is empty, as is the case for many of these elements, then the label is searched instead.	A Warning is issued if label differs on playback from what was recorded. Adaptive Playback is available for this command.
PROF	GotoLinkSubmit wid "URL?DATA" "frame_path"	Record Edit eVlite Synchronization	Same as GotoLink but includes "?" (Get) Data
PROF	InputImageClick wid idx "source-url" "alt-text" "frame_path"	Record Edit Adaptive Synchronization	An input Image is clicked and its properties are recorded.	A Warning is issued if the image properties differs on playback from what found during recording.
PROF	ResetClick wid idx "id" "name" "label" "frame_path"	Record Edit Wizard Adaptive	The reset-form button and visible_text associated with it is recorded. The Adaptive search looks for the first element whose name matches the string specified in the script file. If the specified name is empty, as is the case for many of these elements then the label is searched instead.
PROF	SubmitClick wid idx "id" "name" "label" "frame_path"	Record Edit Wizard Adaptive Synchronization	The submit-form button and the visible_text associated with it is recorded.  The Adaptive search looks for the first element whose name matches the string specified in the script file. If the specified name is empty, as is the case for many of these elements then the label is searched instead.	A Warning is issued if visible_text differs on playback from what is recorded.
STAN	InputValue wid idx "type" "id" "name" "extra-1" "extra-2" "frame_path"	Record Edit Adaptive	For extra information concerning the Type, Extra-1, and Extra-2 parameter please see below.	Please see the detailed explanation at: InputValue Processing in Playback.
"type" Parameter "extra-1" Parameter "extra-2" Parameter TEXT value property "" TEXTAREA value property "" HIDDEN value property "" RADIO value property "TRUE" or "FALSE" CHECKBOX value property "TRUE" or "FALSE" SELECT-ONE text of selected option selected index, e.g. "1" SELECT-MULT Text of all selected options. Each option is separated by ||. For example A||B||C||... Comma-separated list of selected indexes

Link Check Wizard
KEY	COMMAND SYNTAX	PROPERTIES	EXPLANATION	COMMENTS
PROF	DynamicLinkCheck wid DynamicLinkCheckX wid	Record Edit	Runs the built-in one-page Link Wizard on the current page, puts the resulting eValid commands in a special temporary file named base-DLC.evs, and then plays that script. This command is important if you wish to check all of the links on a page for which the content is generated dynamically.

Validation
KEY	COMMAND SYNTAX	PROPERTIES	EXPLANATION	COMMENTS
PROF	ValidateClipboardText "Text"	Record Edit Desktop	This can be used when validating contents inside a clipboard.	Note that eValid does not have a record capability for processing clipboard text, but it does have a playback capability that will let you simulate the effect of Copy/Cut/Paste provided you already have highlighted something.
PROF	ValidateDocumentBodyText wid offset "text" "frame_path"	Record Edit DOM	Records and validates text in the BODY HTML element starting at offset in the current page.	Error messages are issued if differences are detected during playback.
PROF	ValidateDocumentChecksum wid checksum "frame_path"	Record Edit	Records and validates the CRC32 checksum of the entire outer HTML of the page with the given frame_path. The CRC32 checksum recorded is in decimal format.	Error messages are issued if differences are detected during playback.
PROF	ValidateDocumentElements wid num-elements "frame_path"	Record Edit	Records and validates the number of elements (num-elements) on the current page.	Error messages are issued if differences are detected during playback.
PROF	ValidateDocumentLastModified wid "Date-String" "frame_path"	Record Edit	Records and validates the last modified date of the current page.	Error messages are issued if differences are detected during playback.
PROF	ValidateDocumentSize num-bytes wid "frame_path"	Record Edit	Records and validates the size (num-bytes) of the current page.	Error messages are issued if differences are detected during playback.
PROF	ValidateDocumentTitle wid "title" "frame_path"	Record Edit	Records and validates the document title of the current page.	Error messages are issued of differences are detected during playback.
PROF	ValidateDocumentURL wid "URL" "frame_path"	Record Edit	Records and validates.	Error messages are issued if differences are detected during playback.
PROF	ValidateSelectedObjProperty wid idx [["id_name"] "id_value"] name value "frame_path" [1] ValidateSelectedObjProperty wid idx name value "frame_path" [2] ValidateSelectedObjProperty wid idx ["id_value"] name value "frame_path" [3] ValidateSelectedObjProperty wid idx [["id_name"] "id_value"] name value "frame_path"	Record Edit Adaptive DOM	Validates the specific content of the described DOM object in the indicated frame (as specified by the frame_path). Details of the available names are usually found using the eValid PageMap facility. If the object found at idx does not have the given name, or if name is correct and the value the name currently has is incorrect, or if name is not found, an ERROR results. If the object with ID equal to id_value exists and the name has the specified value, or if name is correct and the value the name currently has is incorrect, or if name is not found, an ERROR results. If the object with object id_name equal to id_value exists and the name has the specified value, or if name is correct and the value the name currently has is incorrect, or if name is not found, an ERROR results.	Validation of text items is case sensitive. Adaptive Playback is available for this command only if the command has one or two additional parameters.
PROF	clValidateSavedSelectedImage wid "uniqueID" idx "frame_path" ValidateSavedSelectedImage wid "uniqueID" idx "frame_path"	Record Edit DOM	At record time, eValid saves the selected image in a file named in a file named "<testname>-B.<uniqueID>.gif. At playback time, eValid saves the selected image in a file named in a file named "<testname>-R.<uniqueID>.gif. The two files -- Baseline and Response are intended for use in offline validation operations (e.g. with eV.Manager).	Error messages are issued if differences are detected on the response and base files during playback. In V8+ the coordinates used during recording are relative to the client window (inside the browser).
PROF	ValidateSavedSelectedText wid "uniqueID" idx offset length "frame_path"	Record Edit DOM	Records and validates.	Error messages are issued if differences are detected on the response and base files during playback.
PROF	ValidateSavedWindow wid "uniqueID"	Record Edit Desktop	Records and validates the area of a window.	Error messages are issued if differences are detected on the response and base files during playback.
PROF	ValidateSavedWindowFace wid "uniqueID"	Record Edit Desktop	Records and validates the client area of a window.	Error messages are issued if differences are detected on the response and base files during playback.
PROF	ValidateSelectedApplet wid idx "name" "jclass" width height "frame_path"	Record Edit	Records and validates all applets	Error messages are issued if differences are detected during playback.
PROF	ValidateSelectedCell wid idx "cell-html" "frame_path"	Record  Edit Adaptive DOM	Records the index value and contents of the selected table cell, up to 256 bytes.	Error messages are issued if differences are detected during playback.
PROF	ValidateSelectedID wid "ID-Property" "frame_path"	Record  Edit DOM	Records all ID projects	Error messages are issued if it is not present on playback
PROF	ValidateSelectedImage wid idx "image-url" byte-count width height date "frame_path"	Record Edit DOM	Records basic facts, including the index value and the length in bytes, about the selected image.	Error messages are issued if differences are detected during playback
PROF	ValidateSelectedText wid idx offset "selected_text" "frame_path"	Record  Edit Adaptive DOM	Records and validates the selected text. The string match is attempted beginning at offset many characters from the beginning of page element idx in window wid (on "frame_path").	An ERROR is issued if the text during playback is different from that recorded. Adaptive playback may find a string match and that will result in a WARNING message.
PROF	ValidateSelectedValueRange wid idx offset "low-value" "hi-value" "frame_path" ValidateSelectedValuePercent wid idx offset "selected_text" "range-percent" "frame_path"	Edit Adaptive DOM	Validates that the value at the indicated location is within the specified numeric range or within the specified tolerance (plus or minus). The selected string is extracted and converted in the usual way into a floating point number. An error is issued if the selected value is outside the closed range specified, or if the contents of the string does not convert to a numeric value. These commands are the edited replacement for a ValidateSelectedText but with the added range values.	An Error is issued if the value validated during playback is outside the specified range.
PROF	ValidateDocumentProtocol wid "protocol" "frame_path"	Edit	Validates the document protocol, that is, the information up to the ":" only. Other information beyond that point is ignored.	Error messages are issued if differences are detected during playback.
PROF	ValidateDocumentServer wid "URL" "frame_path"	Edit	Validates the the hostname and port of the current document.	Error messages are issued if differences are detected during playback.
PROF	ValidateDocumentPartialURL wid "URL" "frame_path"	Edit	Validates the information in the current URL only for the number of characters extant in the URL string as shown in the command. Other information in the URL string of the actual page beyond that point is ignored.	Error messages are issued if differences are detected during playback.

String Matching
KEY	COMMAND SYNTAX	PROPERTIES	EXPLANATION	COMMENTS
PROF	MatchString wid "text" key ["frame_path"]	Edit Adaptive Synchronization DOM	Matches any non-zero-length text located anywhere within the current page and on the specified frame_path. . Note that this search will match any content on the page, whether visible or not. The key can be one of two options (other values produce errors): 0 - Case Insensitive 1 - Case Sensitive	Error messages are issued if differences are detected during playback.
PROF	MatchNotString wid "text" key ["frame_path"]	Edit Adaptive Synchronization DOM	Checks to confirm that any non-zero-length text is NOT located anywhere in the current page. Note that this search will match on (and hence FAIL) on any content on the page, whether visible or not. The key can be one of two options (other values produce errors): 0 - Case Insensitive 1 - Case Sensitive	Error messages are issued if differences are detected during playback.

Monitoring Support Commands
KEY	COMMAND SYNTAX	PROPERTIES	EXPLANATION	COMMENTS
PROF	SaveRecord File "Formatted String" [OVERWRITE]	Edit	Writes information to the named file based on the contents of the "Formatted String". If the optional tag OVERWRITE is present, the named file is deleted (if it exists) and THIS is the first record in the new file.	Complete Command Explanation

In addition, all of the C runtime function strftime's formatting codes (see complete list below) are processed in the normal way, including for example: %T is replaced by the current date/time in the format: YYYY/MM/DD HH:MM:SS. %I is replaced by the current time in 12-hour format. %Z is replaced by the current time zone abbreviation code (e.g. PDT).
PROF	TimeStamp File "ID-Tag" "Message-Text" [OVERWRITE]	Edit	Writes a standard one-line current timestamp record to the named file. This line includes the specified "ID-Tag" and and includes the "Message-Text" at the end of the line. If the optional tag OVERWRITE is present, the named file is deleted (if it exists) and THIS is the first record in the new file.	Detailed Explanation

Flag Processing Commands All types of flags are processed "one time" only, and the sense of a "flag is thrown" is reset after the alternative processing occurs. Also, for example, , a second OnAlarmGoScript command in an execution sequence cancels the error state and this cancellation is reflected in the exit code for the run.

PAGEMAP	SaveSelectedObjProperties wid idx count "filename" "frame_path" [ALL]	Edit DOM	Writes the contents of each DOM object for the indicated window from the specified index onward number objects into the named file. Dumps a specified number of HTML elements' properties, starting from the specified index "idx" (0 being the first element). The parameter "count" denotes the number of elements to dump. All elements are dumped if the starting index is less than 0. All elements starting from the starting index are dumped if "count" is less than 1. By default, only properties with non-blank values are saved. To dump most(*) properties, specify the optional ALL parameter. In standard eValid the saved file is in ASCII text form in a single-byte character set. In the Unicode release of eValid this will be in a two-byte character set. The size of the character in bytes will be remarked within the header of the text file. The declaration of each HTML element starts with [Element #n], where n is the element's source index. The properties are grouped together and each group is identified by a string enclosed in brackets, e.g. "[HTMLStyle]". Each property is declared and defined in the format:   property_name:size=property_value where, "property_name" is the name of the property. 'property_value' is the value of the property. 'size' is the number of characters in 'property_value'. (*) - Only obtainable properties are dumped. InnerHTML and OuterHTML properties are not dumped for obvious reasons.
PAGEMAP	SaveHTML wid "filename" "frame_path"	Edit DOM	On playback, for the selected window the full HTML, or the full HTML for the selected frame, is saved in filename.	This file will contain the "raw" HTML prior to internal processing.
PAGEMAP	SaveFullHTML wid "filename" "frame_path"	Edit DOM	On playback, for the selected window the full HTML, or the full HTML for the selected frame, is saved in filename.	The "full" HTML is extracted from the internal post-rendering image and it may differ in content and format from the contents of the raw, un-processed HTML.
PROF	SaveMessage "filename" "message-text" [APPEND]	Edit DOM	Writes the specified message to the named file. If the optional APPEND argument is present in the command, the message is appended to the file. Otherwise the file is overwritten if it already exists, and created if it does not.
PROF	SaveSelectedText wid "filename" idx position length "frame_path" [APPEND]	Record Edit DOM	On recording, the selected text from the page coordinates is copied into the specified filename. On playback, for the selected window and the selected frame, the text at the specified idx, position, length, and frame is saved in filename. If APPEND appears at the end of the command, the saved data will be appended to end of the file.
PROF	SaveSelectedImage wid "unique-id" idx "frame_path"	Record Edit DOM	At recording time, eValid saves the selected window in a file named "<testname>-R.<unique-id>.gif". On playback, eValid saves the information in the same filename.
PROF	CompareImages "base" "response"	Edit DOM	Compares two images saved locally. Writes OK to the EventLog if the images are identical or ERROR to the EventLog if they differ at all (even by one bit in one pixel). The current working folder is assumed if no working folder path is provided.	An FAIL message is issued if eValid is unable to copy the source file.
PROF	SaveVisibleText wid "filename" "frame_path"	Edit Desktop DOM	On playback, for the selected window and on the selected frame, the visible text is saved in filename.	The visible text is extracted from the internal post-rendering data and it may be formatted somewhat differently than it was in the raw HTML file.
PROF	SaveWindow wid "uniqueID"	Record Edit Desktop	On playback the screen shot of the entire window is saved in the file <script>-R.<uniqueID>.bmp, where script.evs is the name of the playback script file.

Index Motion Commands
Working Assumptions About These Commands: There is only one sourceIndex known to eValid at any time. The sourceIndex is always an integer. The initial value of the sourceIndex is always set to zero. The value of the sourceIndex persists between pages. Commands that use this [internally stored] sourceIndex value always refer to the current page. eValid does not modify the sourceIndex except by action of the commands below. Because motion on the page is from the perspective of the view, a search DOWN toward the bottom of the page means increasing index numbers, whereas a search UP toward the top of the page means decreasing index numbers. If that's not confusing enough, maybe this will help (or not): if you go all the way UP on a page, you're at sourceIndex 0.
KEY	COMMAND SYNTAX	PROPERTIES	EXPLANATION	COMMENTS
PAGEMAP	IndexElementClick wid "frame_path" [NAV]	Edit DOM	Similar to the Element Click command, this command issues a click at the current sourceIndex as set by a preceding IndexSet, IndexMove, or IndexFindElement command The optional NAV parameter implies to expect navigation, and follows eValid's regular rules about how to handle NAVs. See the complete documentation of these commands at DOM Element Manipulation/Motion Commands.	This command usually follows a search process, and sends a click to what is assumed to be an element that accepts a click meaningfully. No adaptive playback activity is performed for this command.
PAGEMAP	IndexElementEvent wid "event_name" "property_name" "property_value" [ "property_name" "property_value" ] ... "frame_path" [NAV]	Edit	This command involves specifying an event_name and a sequence of "property_name" "property_value" in pairs. Complete details on how these parameters work are provided in the IndexElementEvent command description. See the complete documentation of these commands at DOM Element Manipulation/Motion Commands.	No adaptive playback activity is performed. Use the PageMap to identify index values and attribute names.
PAGEMAP	IndexFindElement wid { UP | DOWN } "property_name" ["property_value"] "frame_path"	Edit DOM	Starting from the current sourceIndex, this command moves up or down in the DOM element index number sequence until eValid reaches the next element with a property of the specified "property_name" [or until it reaches the next element with a property of the specified "property_name" which has the specified "property_value"], or until eValid reaches the end [or beginning] of the page. The index movement is either UP (increasing index numbers) initial index is positive or zero. of DOWN (decreasing index numbers). When a match if found this command leaves the sourceIndex set to the index of the matching HTML element, if found. If no match is found, the sourceIndex will remain the same. See the complete documentation of these commands at DOM Element Manipulation/Motion Commands.	This is a primary command in the Index Motion/Manipulation set. Use it to find where to take an action. No adaptive playback activity is performed for this command.
PAGEMAP	IndexFindElementEx wid { UP | DOWN } "string" [ "string" ] ... "frame_path"	Edit	Starting from the current sourceIndex, this command moves up or down in the DOM element index number sequence searching for a Regular Expression match. For a complete explanation please see the Detailed Command Explanation.	This is a primary command in the Index Motion/Manipulation set. Use it to find where to take an action. No adaptive playback activity is performed for this command.
PAGEMAP	IndexFollowLink wid "frame_path" [NO_NAV]	Edit DOM	Similar to the FollowLink script command, the IndexElementClick employs the sourceIndex command issues a click at the current sourceIndex as set by a preceding IndexSet, IndexMove, or IndexFindElement command Like the FollowLink command, a NAV is expected, hence there is only an optional NO_NAV parameter. See the complete documentation of these commands at DOM Element Manipulation/Motion Commands.	This command usually follows a search process, and sends a click to what is assumed to be an element that accepts a click meaningfully. No adaptive playback activity is performed for this command.
PAGEMAP	IndexMove number	Edit DOM	Moves forward (positive number) or backward (negative number) the specified number of source index positions, possibly resulting in arriving at the top or bottom of page (but NOT wrapping around). If an IndexMove command attempts to reach beyond the end of the page, or above the beginning of the page, the current index will be set to 0 and a Warning will be issued to the Event Log. See the complete documentation of these commands at DOM Element Manipulation/Motion Commands	You will probably have to have a good idea of where your target is, or you may want to run an additional IndexFindElement command to reposition the current source index. No adaptive playback activity is performed for this command.
PAGEMAP	IndexSet idx	Edit DOM	Moves the internally remembered current index to idx. idx = 0 for the first element of the page. idx if you know the specific index you want. An illegal value is corrected to 0 and a message is issued to the Event Log. See the complete documentation of these commands at DOM Element Manipulation/Motion Commands.	Subsequent commands can be based on this starting index.
PAGEMAP	IndexSetEnd wid "frame_path"	Edit	Moves the internally remembered current sourceIndex to the last (largest currently available) index in the frame of the specified window. Note: If the page and frame changes the sourceIndex then may either be out of range or may not be the last one on the page. On a page with multiple frames specifying the exact frame_path is necessary because the number of the last element varies with each frame. See the complete documentation of these commands at DOM Element Manipulation/Motion Commands.	Subsequent commands can be based on this starting index.
PAGEMAP	IndexSubmitClick wid "frame_path"	Edit DOM	Similar to SubmitClick command, with same parameters and meaning. Clicks the button pointed to by the SourceIndex. A navigation is expected to occur. See the complete documentation of these commands at DOM Element Manipulation/Motion Commands.	No adaptive playback activity is performed for this command.
PAGEMAP	IndexInputValue wid "type" "extra-1" "extra-2" "frame_path" [NAV]	Edit DOM	This is the "Index" version of the InputValue command. Behavior is similar to the InputValue command, with same parameters and meanings. An optional NAV parameter specifies whether or not to expect navigation. See the complete documentation of these commands at DOM Element Manipulation/Motion Commands.	No adaptive playback activity is performed for this command. For a complete explanation of the extra-1 and extra-2 parameters please check the detailed explanation at: InputValue Processing in Playback.
PAGEMAP	IndexValidateObjProperty wid "property-name" "expected-value" "frame_path"	Edit	Validates that on the current sourceIndex the property named takes on the specified value. If the validation fails then an ERROR is logged in the EventLog. See the complete documentation of these commands at DOM Element Manipulation/Motion Commands.	No adaptive playback activity is performed for this command.
PAGEMAP	IndexSaveObjProperty wid "property-name" "filename" "frame_path" [APPEND]	Edit	On the current sourceIndex in the page, saves the the named property named to the specified filename. If the property does not exist, no action is taken. If the optional APPEND argument appears the data is written to the end of the named file. See the complete documentation of these commands at DOM Element Manipulation/Motion Commands.	No adaptive playback activity is performed for this command.
PAGEMAP	IndexElementMouseOver wid x y "frame_path" [NAV]	Edit	At the current sourceIndex, executes a left-button MouseOver command. The "x y" values specified are offsets within the object supplied by the DOM. The optional NAV parameter needs to be specified if the action is expected to generate a navigation action. See the complete documentation of these commands at DOM Element Manipulation/Motion Commands.	No adaptive playback activity is performed for this command.
PAGEMAP	IndexElementMouseDown wid [x y] "frame_path" [NAV]	Edit	At the current sourceIndex, executes a left-button MouseDown command.
