Hello.

I was wondering if eValid support mouse "hovering"?

How does it work in the eValid application?


Thanks

Thanks for asking WayneN.

First thing to understand is that the response to a page when the mouse is at a particular location is governed by properties of the page, not of the eValid browser.

So if you record a "mouseover" you are -- by definition -- in application mode because where the mouse is positioned is determined by the Windows OS.

Please see:

Following through on this, you have to appreciate that eValid in the pure-browser mode of operation doesn't "know" about where the mouse is (and doesn't care).

Instead it is concerned with events and what they do -- what they effect doing in the web page.

So, if you want to see the event that happens if you hover over an element you probably want to first find the sourceIndex of the element and then fire a mouse-over event on that element.

Hope this helps.
