Validate Element
Activity takes the value of a specified webpage input element and validates it.
Choose the right validation algorithm from the Validation Type dropdown list (vailable options: Item List, Email, Decimal number, Date, Regular Expression, Numeric Range, Date Range).
In Validation Parameter define the template used by validating algorithm. When validation result is false, a yellow text balloon appears above the control in the browser window. The default text is “Incorrect data. Expected format: […]”, but you can put custom error message text (in Input part of Properties window).
