Because of the numerous technologies that are used, you cannot always navigate to every possible page and successfully create applications from all Web accessible sources. You may not be able to navigate to some sites or pages within sites. You may also not be able to create an application using the exact piece of information that is viewable on a Web page. Especially challenging are Web sites that use JavaScript to generate some or all of an HTML page, and sites that use frame-based solutions.
To help overcome this challenge, a new option, NavACX, is available when performing a capture. You can now select from these formatting options:
CapALL
NavACX
ACX
You can select none, one, two, or all three of these options.
The NavACX option allows you to use an embedded browser to perform the navigation and capture. This uses ActiveX and Java applet technology, which enables you to perform captures that would not work using the standard navigation/capture approach. ActiveX provides a mechanism for automating Internet Explorer, so that when you navigate to a certain URL, you can see the redirects and other navigational activities that are triggered as a result. This means you can use the IE browser to perform navigation and monitor the HTTP GETs and POSTs that were generated during the process.
To use this functionality, when creating a new application, in the Mobile Web Studio – New Web Element window, select NavACX from the format options drop-down list to the right of the Format drop-down list.
Selecting NavACX does not automatically result in server-side
ActiveX being used at playback. Server-side ActiveX is used only
when either DOM or ACX is also selected.
