The Advanced Navigation option passes HTML and JavaScript through the ActiveX component. Problems can occur when you capture and play back content that is partially or completely generated by client-side JavaScript. If you suspect that this is occurring on a site with content you want to capture, select ACX to specify that the capture technology use ActiveX controls to force the rendition of any embedded JavaScript and generate the entire HTML content. When using this option, all JavaScript is removed from the page content returned to the client browser, and the resulting HTML is static.
To capture all GETs and POSTs, and also pass the final HTML or JavaScript through the ActiveX component, select both CapAll and Advanced Navigation.
The Advanced Navigation option allows you to use an embedded browser to perform navigation and capture. This uses ActiveX and Java applet technology, which enables you to perform captures that do not work using the standard navigation/capture approach. ActiveX provides a mechanism for automating Internet Explorer, so that when you navigate to a URL, you can see redirects and other navigational activities that are triggered as a result. This means you can use the browser to perform navigation and monitor the HTTP GETs and POSTs that were generated during the process.
Selecting Advanced Navigation does not automatically
result in server-side ActiveX being used at playback. Server-side
ActiveX is used only when DOM is also selected.
