Remember:
StudioDeluxe.Net makes available to all clients The
Personal Control Panel which easily sets up a text counter
with one click of a button!
STEP 1:
Simply place the following line of HTML code into your webpage(s) that
you want to have a textcounter. Place the line exactly where you want
the counter to appear.
Paste the following line into your HTML page(s):
<!--#exec cgi="/cgi-bin/textcounter.cgi"-->
STEP 2: Now you need to change all of the following HTML files
that you placed the above line from .html or .htm to .shtml. You can do
this easily when you are in WS_FTP by selecting the "Rename: button.
Make sure to rename all HTML files you have included the above line in,
otherwise the textcounter will not work. These files must be
whatever.shtml. Below is an example:
Lets say I have a file named demo.html. I have copied the line of HTML
into this document. Now I must change the file extension from demo.html
to demo.shtml. Once I have changed the file to demo.shtml, all I
need to do is upload this file to my account and my counter will work!
Tip: DO NOT put more than one
counter on any page! This will only create one counter and it will
increment the same counter that shows up on the same page twice!
However, feel free to create as many counters as you have web pages, but
one per page for best results!
STEP 3: Now lets customize the counter with some HTML tags! We
can use the <font face> tag to change the font of the textcounter. The
<font size> tag will change the size of the textcounter, and we can make
the counter a different color with the <font color> tag. Of course, we
can always center our tag using the <center></center> tags as well.
Look at the bottom of this page. This is an example of the textcounter.
We made this counter using the following tags:
<font face="arial"
size="2"
color="maroon">
<!--#exec cgi="/cgi-bin/textcounter.cgi"-->
</font>
STEP 4: Now all you need to do is upload the new .shtml file(s)
to your account for the textcounter to start working. You might need to
re-link some of your HTML files since this new file is now a .shtml
file. Also consider deleting your old version of the same file with the
.html extension. Your counter will begin at 00000.
