Hit counters
 

Does anyone know how to make these work through a web browser? I know how to insert them through Frontpage but they do not show up once the website has been published.

Any Ideas? :confused:

hi wna....

tried a counter on a site a while back....while experimenting...
was also using frontpage......

from memory....visited the site www.xaraonline.com

opted for the counter i fancied.....the site then displayed a script for me to paste into frontapage....

I cannot seem to get to the html code

Re: Hit counters
 

Your frontpage ones will not work if the site your hosted on doesn't support frontpage extensions, have you considered the free ones such as:

try hitbox.com ;)

Re: Hit counters
 

if you look at my website It supports all the flash and the scrolling Marquee on the welcome page. So surely it must support Frontpage Extensions.

Re: Hit counters
 

Thanks fir the link. But what code do i need to select and where do i need to paste it in the .htm document?

Re: Hit counters
 

Paste "<img src="/cgi-bin/count" alt="Counter">" in your html wherever on you page you want the counter to appear, you can do this via the html tab in Frontpage.

Re: Hit counters
 

Yep... But i always seem to get that code come up when i preview it.

Re: Hit counters
 

you don't need the quotes before the <

It works.

Re: Hit counters
 

<img src="/cgi-bin/count" alt="Counter" width="76" height="32">

is the exact code on my demon page.

It will only work when uploaded due to the relative link in the code.

Re: Hit counters
 

Could someone kindly post how it should actually be cos im still confused.

Re: Hit counters
 

Just do what I do and put a load of zeroes on the page, cos no one ever visits my site either.

Re: Hit counters
 

Neither Flash or Marquee depend on FP Extn's - DHTML I think for Marquee.

Re: Hit counters
 

Heh Frontpage probably still uses that wonderfully cross browser compliant <marquee> tag
