If you need to add after the script has been recorded right mouse click at the line (step), after which Certificate Handler should be enabled, and select “Add Certificate Handler” at the menu. After that adjust watcher properties: Enable or Disable Certificate errors bypass.

In order to limit the script to only record items from one domain and ignore all third party content you need to add 2 network filter into the script:

NetworkFilter.Deny(“*”); – this filter blocks all the elements on the page
NetworkFilter.Allow(“*yourdomain.com*”); – this filter allows the elements from a specific domain only (in our case it’s yourdomain.com)

As an example the body of the script will look like this:

// script_version=3.0; everystep_version=4.0.5757.19386; date=11/18/2015; IE=11.0.9600.17937
Tabs.ConfigureIEVersion (BrowserMode.IE11, DocumentMode.IE11Emulate);
Tabs.SetSize (1037, 562);
NetworkFilter.Deny(“*”);
NetworkFilter.Allow(“*yourdomain.com*”);
DMBrowser tab0 = null;
Step (1, “Google – https://yourdomain.com/home.aspx”);
tab0 = Tabs.NewTab ();
tab0.GoTo (“http://yourdomain.com”);

By default, script editing in EveryStep Scripting tool is quite restricted – it only allows you to change keywords, add delays, network filters, etc. Nevertheless, you can configure EveryStep Scripting tool to edit the body of the script without any restrictions.

Go to Advanced Settings -> Miscelaneous -> enable ‘Allow to edit script manually’

expression !”Exact keyword”.

Before applying a network filter, be sure that your root HTML element (for example
