1. A method for simulating a dynamic link between electronic documents located in a computer network, comprising the steps of:
- selecting a first dynamic link that leads from a first electronic document to a second electronic document based on a Uniform Resource Locator (URL);
locating, within a first set of instructions used to render the first electronic document, a position of the first dynamic link;
identifying, in the first set of instructions, a text string in an anchor associated with the first dynamic link but not containing the first dynamic link;
storing the text string in an anchor to record a transaction based on dynamic URLs; and
retrieving the stored text string in an anchor to simulate the first dynamic link and play back the recorded transaction.

Abstract
A method and system are described for simulating a dynamic link between electronic documents located in a computer network. In accordance with exemplary embodiments of the present invention, a first dynamic link is selected that leads from a first electronic document to a second electronic document. The position of the first dynamic link is located within a first set of instructions used to render the first electronic document. A navigation point associated with the first dynamic link is identified in the first set of instructions. The navigation point is then stored.
