That was just a political requirement made by people who don't understand computers. I'm not sure if other browsers can run in kiosk mode.
The main thing we need to know is if the webpage displays an error during a period of 7 days we need to be notified. What were you thinking?

Let me rephrase the question. Does IE have to be the rendering engine? If yes, why? Are you testing IE's (a client's) ability to render a server response correctly, or are you really trying to monitor the server itself? There's likely a big difference here in terms of what is easy to do and what is not.

There really isn't a budget allocated for this but if it's cheaper to buy a software than me writing some scripts that might be a better way to go. You provide some great keywords to do some searching on thanks!

Well, the basic concept you are looking at is “end user experience monitoring”, as opposed to “component monitoring” (e.g. a server or hard disk) or “service monitoring” (e.g. is a website up) There’s plenty of third party products out there that can simulate client actions – usually via an agent installed on the remote machine. Or you do a “poor man’s” job and do this yourself with a bit of scripting. I assumed you wanted the latter since you didn’t mention any existing tools you have or any budget.

Write a little script (e.g. using VBScript and ServerXMLHTTP object) that makes the same HTTP request? You can then log the details to a log file to later analyse.

I’ve been tasked with determining a way to document if a web page in IE errors out. Basically, the page will refresh every 10 seconds with updated data. I need to find a way to see if the page comes back with a page error or not. Any ideas out there? These tests will be performed at kiosks that have no management that have poor internet connectivity. All I can currently measure is system up time, not internet connectivity uptime or page errors in IE. TIA Jimmy
