You need to check with a usability consultant. These sort of tests
are usually done in a usability lab. They usually record the test with
cameras.
In a test situation, you can install special software on the PC to
record all mouse clicks.

I think it has something to do with the fact that it starts out as an
.htm page in their domain, and then redirects using javascript to the
site being tested.
Yes, although redirect may not be what they are doing.
The survey site may be modified to assist with the testing.
I didn't look at the survey site in detail.

1) introduces you to the survey.
2) Open the survey window on your left
Left window
1) Displays the questions.
2) Opens the site window on the right.
I assume that no changes have been made to the survey site.
3) User answers question about site.
4) Left window submits information to its host.
5) Left window asks another of question on the site
6) Left window takes down the site window.
7) Left window opens new window that you can click on
New window is coded by survey site owner.
New windows is on survey site web site.
When user click on the new window, the new

the left window.
New window closes itself.
8) Left window gets results and adds results to your question.
9) User complete question and left window passed this result to its

10) left window continues with the above until all questions are
answered.
By intermixing site windows and survey site windows an illustion more
interaction can be created than there actually is.
You could copy survery site windows to you local site and change them.
Assuming you have the authority to do so.
