Hi there need some input.

It looks like eValid doesn't support tabbed browsing?

But my application depends on this.

What's up?

Thanks

Thanks for asking MTobin.

Tabs in a browser are really like new windows.

When you take an action that on browsers like IE that produce a new tab, eValid will generate a whole new window.

There is a very important advantage in testing for this behavior:

At test playback time the sequence of new windows will be identical to what it was at test record time.

eValid numbers windows in a simple way. Window 0 is the home browser, and the first sub-window is "window 1", then "Window 2," etc.

You see the "window number" as a parameter in many eValid commands. It is the "wid" parameter that tells eValid the window upon which to apply the action in the command.

Here is the detailed explanation of the way eValid scripts work:

One thing to remember is to make sure that you CLOSE subwindows after you have processed...it won't hurt anything to leave them up, but if you run a test a number of times without arranging to have all the subwindows closed you desktop can become cluttered!
