Re: How to make a counter

Wendy,

I'll give you a list of places to look, but first check this one out...it's
a bit unconventional, but IMHO it's cool!

http://www.javagoodies.com//jcount.html

Here are the rest of places to look:

Go to http://www.developer.com/directories/pages/dir.javascript.html and do
 a search for counter.
http://www.javascripts.com/ (you have to register as a member, but it's
free, and they have lots of scripts on there.

Try the above, and if you don't find what you are looking for, let me know
at my personal email address (suzanne(at)4thefx.com) and I'll help you with
it.

Cheers,
Suzanne

Thanks Suzanne for all your help, but do you know a site where I can get
information of how to make the counter using Javascript?

I really don't want to use those free services, because I don't want their
names be displayed on my page.

Cheers,
Wendy

You can also do this with Java...however, I was trying to give the easiest
(albeit, not the best) solution.  There are also services that will provide
you with not only a "canned" counter, but complete statistical information
for no charge.  One of these is located at:

http://www.freestats.com/

However, most these want you to display banners on your site in exchange
for the free service.

Cheers,
Suzanne

I hate to put my foot on my mouth -- but as this is the only response
I've seen, let me add a couple of other (although maybe not nearly as
nice or easy) alternatives.

First a disclaimer -- I know nothing of FrontPage except that I've seen
the results and don't like them.  But then I earn my living playing with
databases -- not web pages.  With that said...

Many ISP's have canned routines for counters.  (If you are running your
own web server this is probably not the answer -- but if not...) I don't
use a counter -- but my ISP supplies about a dozen different styles if I
want -- it requires just a single line in your html code.  Have you
checked with your ISP to see if they already have code available?

Another way -- but much more complicated -- is a perl CGI.  You need to
have availability to the perl executables AND open write permission (for
the userid a web surfer will have when in your site) in the directory
your html homepage is in (and probably the ability to run a cgi as your
index/default/home page).  If this is the way you want to go and don't
know perl -- I can write the routine for you.
