    Like having vbscript in a html file, can be saved as a .hta file

    e.g. (stolen from ze Web)

    Code:
    <HTML>
<HEAD>
<HTA:APPLICATION ID="HelloExample" 
   BORDER="thick" 
   BORDERSTYLE="complex"/>
<TITLE>HTA - Hello World</TITLE>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="VBScript">
window.resizeto 300, 150
Sub Hello
   MsgBox "Hello, world!"
End Sub
</SCRIPT>
</HEAD>
 
<BODY>
<CENTER>
<H2>HTA - Hello World</H2>
<INPUT TYPE="button" VALUE="Click Me (vb)" NAME="run_button"  ONCLICK="Hello">
<INPUT TYPE="button" VALUE="Click Me (js)" ID="run_button_hello">
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JScript">
  run_button_hello.onclick = 
     function(){alert("from (" + this.value + "): Hello, world!");};
</SCRIPT>
</CENTER>
</BODY>
</HTML>

    Oh, I see. Is HTML/JavaScript going to be suitible for server monitoring - can you convince JavaScript to do ping (or SSH, etc) without some kind of server-side help?

    In terms of a pure "ping" no, however you can be cheesy and emulate same kind of behaviour. (JS cant anyway, not pure pings, VB can I think(

    an example:

    Code:
    var ImageObject = new Image(); 
ImageObject.src = "http://www.edugeek.net/image/bluelight_logo.png"; 

if (ImageObject.height > 0) { 
// Yay it's alive! Do random magic/put pretty pics up!
}
    Simple example, but if you want it explained. Tests image on server, if it's larger than 0, aka it exists, server is online. Else it isn't.

    Handy, but it's only going to work for HTTP servers.

    You can either use WMI to do the ping for you or you can do it through a command prompt and grab the reply info from the command prompt

    There is a term for it but cant remember the name for it

    WMI Method

    http://www.robvanderwoude.com/vbstech_network_ping.php

    Shell'ing the command prompt ping command and getting the output that way

    True, but I took the assumption from the way it was asked, it want's it for end users to see. aka, just pretty display etc :P

    Could do a VBS/html page I guess, but either way :P Lot of options, just depends how you want it setup/what servers/who's using
