The recording process is very accurate and reliable. But you may notice some things at playback time that need some explanation.
The response to having the cursor hover over an area will be dependent on the speed of playback. If you leave the Wait times along -- that is, you don't modify them with a multiplier or with a ceiling -- then the playback response will be identical to whatever happened during the recording.
But remember, the underlying JavaScript that processes a hover (i.e. which response to a mouseover recording) does not execute instantly. So you may need to wait until there is a response before having your script move on.
The main point here is that you have TWO programs running, typically: The JavaScript program that generates response to the hover, and the eValid program which is driving the mouse around, clicking, etc. Once you recognize that fact, and take appropriate cautions, then most of the time the behavior of eValid becomes very predictable and exact.
