I am looking for an HTML code fragment to clock the number of visitors to my site. I require a simple code, with no frilly statistics on routings etc.
Can any members in the know help?
The ones available on the net all create links to the originator

Hello Mark,

Im on a Unix server, I have not seen a cgi-bin directory listed in any server sub directory, but expect that since the page is hosted on a Ntl server, cgi-bin is available and accessable.
I am unsure about the ability to upload scripts.

I obtained a html code fragment off the web and used it on my page, the counter worked fine. I just didnt like the idea of the person who created the fragment bombarding me with daily e mails with all sorts of offers, etc
I had to register and pass over my e mail address to obtain the fragment.

Theres no free lunch I guess, theres always a catch or a string attached. It would be nice to know the number of visitors to my site though,
Thanks for the help Mark

... number of visitors to my site...

If your server supports PHP, its a 1 liner.

in php, the super global variable
$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']
gives the address of the on-line user

where
REMOTE_ADDR = The IP address from which the user is viewing the current page.
