A system, comprising:

• one or more processors;
• and
• a memory coupled to the one or more processors, the memory including instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the system to:
• capture a document object model event from a user accessing a document in an application;
• identify a window for the application in a display;
• identify a relative position of a cursor from the user within the window;
• detect a resolution for the display within the window;
• insert a time-stamp for the document object model event according to a time interval that captures the document object model event at a pre-determined frequency;
• include the document object model event, the relative position of the cursor, the resolution for the display, and the time-stamp in a playback code;
• find a smallest number of identifiers for each event to define a unique node path that comprises multiple sequential events having a common parent event and a common identifier including a class name and a node type;
• and
• play back the document object model event in a sequence according to the time-stamp, the relative position of the cursor, and the resolution for the display, in a second display, wherein to insert the time-stamp for the document object model event the one or more processors execute instructions to create an artificial tick to set multiple events within the artificial tick with the same time-stamp.

A non-transitory, computer-readable medium storing instructions which, when executed by a processor, cause a computer to perform a method, the method comprising:

• capturing a document object model event from a user accessing a document in an application;
• identifying a window for the application in a display;
• identifying a relative position of a cursor from the user within the window;
• detecting a resolution for the display within the window;
• inserting a time-stamp for the document object model event according to a time interval that captures the document object model event at a pre-determined frequency;
• including the document object model event, the relative position of the cursor, the resolution for the display, and the time-stamp in a playback code;
• finding a smallest number of identifiers for each event to define a unique node path that comprises multiple sequential events having a common parent event and a common identifier including a class name and a node type;
• and
• playing back the document object model event in a sequence according to the time-stamp, the relative position of the cursor, and the resolution for the display, in a second display wherein inserting the time-stamp for the document object model event comprises creating an artificial tick to set multiple events within the artificial tick with a same time-stamp.
