Yes, it can!
You have probably already seen the PageMap feature in which you select a DOM element and it is highlighted (momentarily; it blinks three times) automatically. That's done with a simple DOM change to the next higher Dom element that sets the BORDER property to have the value "3", and then issues a restore command to the element.
And, you have already seen how eValid can identify a text passage in an element that is highlighted...this is sensed by looking at the background color of the element.
Please consult the eValid User Manual or call the office for technical support on doing this if you have trouble.
