I've inserted the Web Counter on my page<br>and it doesn't show up in preview or when<br>i actually place it on the internet.<br>Thanks for any help.......
 
Please tell us a little bit more...<br><br>I assume that when you say Web Counter you are describing a web page hit counter, correct?<br><br>Is this the Hit Counter component found on the FrontPage Insert&nbsp;&nbsp;¦&nbsp;&nbsp;Component menu or is this a CGI hit counter?<br><br>Most of the time when a CGI hit counter doesn't work it is either because the path to the CGI-Bin folder isn't accurate, the CGI script (applet) is not located in that directory or the file permissions are not properly set. <br><br>Let us know.<br>Boxplan
 
thanks for replying Boxplan.<br>I am talking about the Hit Counter component<br>you're suppose to be able to add by Insert/component/<br>Hit counter. Any help would be appreciated.
 
Is your web server running FrontPage server extensions? <br><br>Boxplan
 
I just found out my server doesn't run<br>Frontpage extentions.<br>I don't know any other way.<br>Do you?
 
There are many hit counters available via the web. Your server may actually have a web counter avail. Try&nbsp;&nbsp;<A HREF=" TARGET="_new"> or <A HREF=" TARGET="_new"> can also find many differant scripts at <A HREF=" TARGET="_new"> <br><br>Hope these help<br><br> <p>John Vogel<br><a href=mailto:johnvogel@homepage.com>johnvogel@homepage.com</a><br><a href= FreeDSL Service</a><br>[To a get FREE DSL Modem WITH FREE DSL Unlimited Internet Connection click the above link :)]
 
As John Vogle suggested, check with your web server.&nbsp;&nbsp;Counters are pretty common and they might have one.&nbsp;&nbsp;Don't pay any money though.&nbsp;&nbsp;Another source, in addition to the ones already mentioned:&nbsp;&nbsp;<A HREF=" TARGET="_new"> fact that there are a number of web hosts out there that don't offer FronPage extensions is a good reason not to become completely reliant on FrontPage features.<br><br>Let us know how you come out.<br><br>Boxplan
 
Thanks so much for responding.&nbsp;&nbsp;I'll get a hold<br>of my server and find out.
 
I cannot get the Frontpage 2000 hit counter to reset to a specified number. After I save the revised page it &quot;defaults &quot; to 1 but never increments.Server does FP2000 extensions. Why will hit counter not reset to specified number?
