Re: How to make a counter

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.
