Can we set values from an outside source?

Can you use eValid to read a value from somewhere and put
it into a specific field on a web page? How is that done?

Yes, you can, provided that you can deliver the value from the "outside source" into a local text file.

eValid has commands to read/write from/to local files, and the input/output process reads/writes a sourceIndex or elementValue and inserts them into the current DOM of the page.

If you have multiple values you want to save or read you simply put them into files with separate names. (Naming the file the same as the thing you're saving works well here!)

In general the commands in eValid that read and manipulate the DOM content are sufficiently general to permit any kind of potential modification. Those same commands are used, by the way, in the AJAX playback synchronization process.
