Right, but you don't need IE for that unless you want to test the JS script inside IE (but that's not cgi related then), or do screenshots/compare contents. The later can done using php only with COM btw (and gd for the shots) :) The server scripts in our source could be a good start (at least to get some ideas), I got some inspiration from them for our tests suite.
