Does anyone know how to make a counter in Javascript? Preferably a 6 digit counter and using plain text.

there is no way to make a hit counter in Javascript in my knowledge, because Javascript is a client side script, it can't handle all other users' hits to your site because it can't get the information from it, nor it can't store data.

however you can tell your visitor how many time they visit by using Cookies in Javascript, but the number will be different in each user's situation because it processes the script in client side machine, not the web server...

You can get a free counter from http://www.bravenet.net, there is no need to create your own counter. These counter that you saw everyday on web sites are written in CGI or PERL...

i don't want an ad filled counter. Geocities, which doesn't have an ad-filled counter, has crappy counters. They lose count often, or sometimes don't count, or sometimes get the whole counter wiped out. Just look at the counter on my new site: www.geocities.com/the_ryan_lin , the counter does not count!!!!!!! Man, I need help on how to install a simple text counter.

I dont believe that geocities allows server side scripting on their free account. You'll need a new ISP or a copy and paste remote script.

Why dont you use the Geocities counter? They are pretty good and I belive they dont have any ads for the counter.

The counter on my site doesn't work. And it is from geocities. It doesn't count.

The one on my old old site was also a geocities counter. It got reset every week!
