Very Computer

Hi

I created an invisible hit counter (1x1 pixel) on my site,
www.sunrisehelicopter.com.  It had been
working fine in Internet Explorer, but not in Netscape.  I
referenced KB article Q229900, which stated you could also
create a hit counter image that matches the background
color.  I tried this option, hoping to correct the problem
in Netscape, but the image was then missing in both IE and
Netscape.  I deleted the new image and re-inserted the 1x1
hit counter (thinking it would at least work in IE).  Now
the hit counter image is missing in IE and Netscape.  I
can't understand why it is not working in IE, as it was
originally.  Can someone please advise on how to correct
this problem?  I need to fix it quickly, and I have no
idea what is causing it.  All help is greatly appreciated,
thank you in advance.

Regards

Hi Ava,

Looking at your source code it shows you have set "0"
digits, try setting the numeric value to 3 (if you want to
be able to record hits inthe hundreds).  If you want the
hit counter to record in the thousands, set the numeric
value to 4.

Hope it helps!

Hi JDR,

Thanks for the suggestion.  Unfortunately, I am still
having the same problem.  Any more ideas?

Thanks,
Ava

 Hi Ava, the counter is looking for this file in your root directory
hit_counter2.gif
check that the file is there and that the spelling is exact, no capitals,
underline not hyphen.

Thanks for y'all's help.  The counter works in IE again,
although it still does not in Netscape.  Any suggestions
on this?

Thanks again,
Ava

  Here is a page with instructions for using a hidden counter
http://www.sitecrafters.com/support/fp/counters.asp
it recommends putting the image in the _private folder and using an image
that is 30 pixels wide and the color of the background. Did you use the
correct path to the image in the Counter Wizard,
/_private/hit_counter2.gif

I remember reading somewhere that NS has problems with image less than 6 pixels
in size. So a 1 x 6 or 6 x 1 will work, but not a 1 x 1.
