Counter - an approximate count of hits on your page

+ Counter allows + you to display an image representing an access counter on a + given page. To put a counter on a page, include a tag + like: +

+ +

+<img src="http://cgi.www.umich.edu/counter?link=
+http://www.umich.edu/~umweb/index.html">

+ +

+ Note: This line must appear in your html + document on only one line. If you copy and paste any + of the counter examples from this page to your own + document, be sure to edit the file and remove any line + breaks in the counter link. +

Counter options

+ The link= argument specifies the URL to be counted. It is + required. Additional arguments must be separated from each other by + ampersands (&) +

+ +

+ The ignore= argument specifies IP + addresses (141.211.164.2) or domain names + (terminator.cc.umich.edu) that are forbidden from + incrementing the counter. +

+ +

+ The font= argument specifies a font to use instead of + the counter's default. If you have a freely available + truetype font that you would like to see added to this + list please submit download information, author's name, + and contact information to webmaster. We will not be + able to add every font that is submitted. +

+ +

+ The width= argument specifies how many digits are + displayed & has a maximum of ten. If you specify a + width that is too small for the number being displayed, + the counter will use only as many digits as it needs. + If you specify too large a width, the counter will pad + the number being displayed with zeros. +

+ +

+ The rand= argument will cause the counter to display a + different random number everytime your page loads. +

+ +

+ The reset= argument allows you to reset the counter to + a specific value. +

+ +

+ The text= argument allows you to set the font color + using the "web color" scheme. For instance, to get a + counter with black text, set "text=000000". Note that "#" + is interpreted as an anchor by the browser, and as such + must be ommitted. "text=#000000" will not behave as you + expect.

+ +

+ The bgcolor= argument allows you to set the background + color using the "web color" scheme. For instance, to get + a counter with a white background, set "bgcolor=ffffff". + Note that "#" is interpreted as an anchor by the browser, + and as such must be ommitted. "bgcolor=#ffffff" will not + behave as you expect.

+ +

+ The point= argument allows you to set the point size + of the counter. Note this will only work in conjunction + with the font= argument, as the default font cannot be + sized.

+ +

+ The image= argument allows you to make the counter + generate PNG images rather than the default image format, + JPEG. JPEG has been chosen as the default image format + because, being rendered internally by most browsers, JPEG + images appear to load more quickly and match the other + colors presented by the browser better than PNG files. + However, the image quality of JPEGs is lower than that of + PNG. PNG appears to be slower on some browsers ( those + that use a helper application to render the images may + appear to "hang" for a moment when loading the counter + image ) but the quality is superb. +

+ +

Counter options

+ +

+ There is only one required argument in the counter: + link=URL. There are other, optional + arguments, each of which needs to be separated by & + signs. All of the applicable arguments are listed below: +
