Thanks for asking CallieT.

eValid has a series of commands which extend the user's control over the script playback by being able to save an image from the cache, or which save a selected text specified in the script file.

These commands can help a webmaster identify unwanted changes made to the site being tested.

Follow these simple steps to be able to save selected images and/or to save selected text from your recording:

(1) Start your recording.

(2) Select an image or text from a page by dragging your cursor over the object until it is highlighted.

(3) Depending on the object selected, from the pull down, select "Record > Save > Selected Image or Selected Text".

(4) You'll be prompted for the folder name and file name to use to contain the image or text.

(5) The recording engine will insert a SaveSelectedText or SaveSelectedImage command in the script with the necessary parameters to identify the exact text or the specific image to be saved during playback.

Note: The location where the image or text is saved is usually at the current working directory of the script unless a complete path is provided in the script file.
