Hi

I made a small script that displays some information via HTML and Internet Explorer:

$ie = New-Object -com internetexplorer.application;
$ie.navigate2("about:blank") 
$ie.document.body.innerHTML = $html
$ie.visible = $true
$ie.MenuBar = $false
$ie.AddressBar = $false
$ie.StatusBar = $false
$ie.ToolBar = $false

This works well. The problem is that i made some buttons on the page that should refresh the content. But when powershell needs to pull that information:

do {
            if ($ie.Document.getElementByID("finished").value -eq 1) {
                $skip = $true
            }
            if ($ie.Document.getElementByID("autorefresh").value -eq 1) {
                $autorefresh = $true
            }
            Start-Sleep -Milliseconds 500
} until (($autorefresh -eq $true) -or ($skip -eq $true))

I get a high CPU load (40-45%).

Is this normal, or should it be done another way?

Hi ThomasICG,

Did you get any script error?

For the CPU load, if this only occurs when running the script, I think that's OK, because running powershell script will consume the cpu load.
