Warning Message

[Sam08]

I don't understand the WARNING message. I made a simple script to validate
text on a page. And I get that warning even though it should have had
no errors.

It says the text does not match, but the text inside the quotes are
exactly the same.

This appears to be a fragment of the eValid EventLog.

My reading of this is that the WARNINGS issued by evalid are indeed
correct.

The phrase " ILM Telesales Active" moved from 486: 1537 to 485: 1403
(the notation is "element: offset").

If you had NOT had AdaptivePlayback ON this would have been an ERROR...
remember, eValid is a regression engine!

Because AdaptivePlayback is ON (by default, you have to use
Adaptive OFF to disable it, which may choose to do), eValid found
that the required phrase was not where it was "before" (when you
made the recording), but correctly found the phrase left-shifted
in this case by 134 character positions (1537 - 1403).

Indeed, you are probably 100% correct: what appears on the
screen probably does indeed appear to be identical.

You didn't include the script, but I think if you check
carefully you'll see that eValid is correct.

eValid always issues WARNINGs when AdaptivePlayback compensates
for inconsequential web page changes.

Hope this is helpful.
