Hide code within html

[JayBall]

Someone I know has a link on their site to thecounter.com. Which shows in the status bar while downloading, if you right click on the page the code doesn't appear in the view source window. The page doesn't appear to be using frames so how can the code be hidden anywhere else? Please help.

Jason.

It is probably called with javascript. Look for the code in a <script> tag in the body of the document...

It may also be hidden in an image tag. Tracy Dryden

How would I hide something in an image tag?

hie
may be it is just an external js file?
<script language=&quot;javascript&quot; src=&quot;dascript.js&quot;></script>?
then just use the followin:
write

view-source:[URL unfurl="true"]http://address.com/dascript.js[/URL]

in the address bar & u'll c the source code

How about an INCLUDE?!

It's probably a serverside include... ----------------------------------------

The way you hide something in an image tag is like this:

<img src=&quot;/cgi-bin/counter.cgi&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; width=&quot;1&quot; height=&quot;1&quot;>

The program counter.cgi will be called to supply the image for the image tag. It can do it's counter thing, and then just return a content-type: image/gif header and a 1x1 pixel transparent gif image. I've a a very short perl subroutine that will print the header and the image. The image itself is only about 43 bytes long, so I hard coded it into the subroutine!
