Site24x7 - Web site Monitoring Service

Recently I have been using some external web site monitoring service, site24x7 to monitor my blog .

 

The above stats show the last 7 days report of my blog . Well, I have a downtime of almost 2 min. and I have been notified through email and sms to my mobile. Thanks Site24x7.


 
Site24x7 provides you with two types of accounts, Free and Professional . Upon signing up they will give you a 15-day evaluation period and 10 free sms to test drive their site. After evaluation period , you will automatically be pushed to a Free account which lets you monitor 2 websites at 60 min. polling intervals. Professional account lets you monitor unlimited websites at any pollinterval starting from 5 min. . Professional account starts at $0.5/month/url(at 60 min. poll interval).

Well i cannot stop here , without giving a mention of their tools section which is been recently added. Site24x7 offers you a free set of tools .

1. Webpage Analyzer - This tool will show you the total page size, number of requests made and
the total time taken to retrieve a webpage. This tool is useful in finding
reasons behind slow pages. Personally, this is the tool I love.

2. DNS Lookup - This tool will do a dnslookup of your domain and gets you the Adress
records of your domain, Mail server records , Name server Records.

3. Find IP - Well if you want to find the ip of your webpage/ domain/ blog , its the
way to find it. Even I have to check out my IP before posting it here.

4. Find Location - Where is your Domain hosted?? Even I dont know where are the servers
behind this blog hosted before I encountered this tool.

5. Test Availability - Test your website /domain domain for availability, response time and some
header information.

Javascript Errors (IE and Firefox)

I normally come across some javascript errors during development in firefox , which it bypasses(I mean it allows the script to gothrough). But IE never allow you to go through with these js errors. One them is,

Error in parsing value for property " width " . Declaration Dropped . What's this error??

I had a tough time debugging this.

Suppose If you are changing the width of some property (say 'DIV' or 'table ' ) dynamically through your js, then you have to set it this way ,

... document.getElementById('DIV').style.width=" 20 px";

rather than ,

.. document.getElementById('DIV')
.style.width="20";

NOTE: Make sure that your width never goes negative . It wont work in IE. It will throw you some js error.
