ODENweb

Tips & Tricks:

Putting a hit counter on your page. 

The ODENweb counter uses Server Side Includes (SSI) to make the counter work, SSI is a special tagging language.  To make it work the filename of every web page that has the counter in it must end in .shtml (eg. - index.shtml).  Once you have renamed your document to .shtml you must insert the following piece of code, into your page, where you want the text counter to be displayed:-  

<!--#exec cgi="/textcounter/counter.cgi"--> 

To customise your counter you can use standard HTML tags. 

The following example would give you a blue counter: 

<font color=blue>
<!--#exec cgi="/textcounter/counter.cgi"-->
</font>
