Hi to everyone who has sent advice, I was glad to know my coding was correct and my problem was not viewing it online. I did not want to put my web page online without every aspect of the page working. (I only left "Mount Pinos Webspinners" up as a place marker for the rest of the code) Now my web site is up, but the counter is not working. Here is the URL: http://www.rootsweb.com/~mings/ Thanks for your help, Pat > Subject: Re: [RW-Help] Last-modified dates > Date: Sat, 22 Sep 2001 21:38:13 -0500 > From: Elsi <elsi@augustmail.com> > To: RootsWeb-Help-L@rootsweb.com > > At 10:17 PM 09/22/2001 -0400, Richard & Pat wrote: > >Hi, > >I am trying to put an automatic date modified on my web page.

I did not want to put my web page online without every aspect of the page working. Now my web site is up, but the counter is not working. Here is the URL: http://www.rootsweb.com/~mings/ Hmmmm...... there are **2** kinds of counters that can be used on RootsWeb pages. Looking at your counter coding on-line (which sometimes appears different on-line from off-line) it appears as: You are visitor <img SRC="Count.cgi" height=30 width=100 align=CENTER> since April 7, 1999. 1. 1st kind is for the counter appearing at: http://www.rootsweb.com/rootsweb/wizards/webmasters.html#counter This type counts every hit to the page even when the same person goes back and forth between pages at the site. If using this code, your line should read: You are visitor <!--#exec cgi="/cgi-bin/counterord"--> since April 7, 1999. (I hope this coding appears as text once this message is sent and not converted to HTML ....) 2. 2nd kind of counter appearing at: http://counter.rootsweb.com/Counter.html This type counts only one hit per person per day/per session. This counter needs to be registered - done when you click the "Create...." button - and then you will be given coding to use. It won't work until you have their coding. Your coding would look something like: <img src="http://counter.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/Count.cgi?df=mings"> with values for height and weight of box border if so desired. I have both counters working on my USGenWeb site for the town of Plymouth: http://www.rootsweb.com/~macplymo/ At the bottom of the page. The counter in the black box with blue border is the 2nd one above registering 17,000+ hits. The 1st counter above is registering 14,0000 something hits. --- Susan SGTAYLOR1@att.net My Genealogy Website - sgt http://home.att.net/~SGTAYLOR1/ ----------------------------------------------- USGW Mansfield, CT - http://home.att.net/~SGTAYLOR1/mansfield.html USGW New London, CT - http://home.att.net/~SGTAYLOR1/newlondon.html USGW Norwich, CT - http://home.att.net/~SGTAYLOR1/norwich.html USGW Windham, CT - http://home.att.net/~SGTAYLOR1/windham.html USGW Coordinator Plymouth Co., MA - http://www.rootsweb.com/~maplymou/ USGW Plymouth, MA - http://www.rootsweb.com/~macplymo/ *********************************************************
