hit counter

[Peter Giotta]

Does someone know where I can obtain a (free) simple js hit counter (that
doesn't rely on cookies).
Thanks.

Hi Pete,

There's no way to manage this with JavaScript.
JavaScript is a pure Clientside language. What
are you searching for? An hit counter which counts
all hits of your site?

To do this you need a method to store information
(in your case the hits) outside the actual Browser
Window and to keep this information for later use.
With JavaScript you can't get further than the actual
Browser Windows. If you close this window all information
will get lost. The only way I know to save Information
with JavaScript are Cookies.
But I don't know how you want to make an hit counter
with cookies? Cookies are stored locally, at the client's
machine.

Saludo
Paul.

There are tons of free counters out there (just search google), none of
which can be done with pure JS (they all have a backend of Perl, etc,
but many don't require that backend to be on your server). I don't
believe many rely on cookies - they use the IP address.

Yes there is. Here's a starter for 10.

No it isn't. You can use JavaScript in ASP documents, and Netscape
servers come with their own brand of server-side JavaScript.

To do this you need a method to store information
(in your case the hits) outside the actual Browser
Window and to keep this information for later use.

See above.

Ah, so you don't know about ASP or server-side JavaScript?

Yes, I knew that there is something to run JavaScript on the
Server, with the attribute runat="server".
I supposed the original poster was talking about the 'typical'
clientside JavaScript - sorry.

But I didn't know that you can use JavaScrip in ASP. Ok, in
ASP .NET you can implement al you want, there is a default
support for JScript given in the CLR. But I didn't know that
ist is possible with not-.NET ASP.
The attribute runat="server" (or similar) is for ASP, for
the Netscape server or both?

You can use any language with ASP that has an implementation for the
Windows Scripting Host. That includes Perl, with a third party
implementation. Out of the box, it includes VBScript and JScript.
The defualt language for ASP is VBScript (and for ASP.net it is VB,
and you can use any language that has a compiler to .net).

I don't know how Netscape does it, but I am pretty sure that
runat="server" is specific to ASP.

No, I have used it with IPlanet / Netscape Enterprise Server. I'm not
sure what you have to do to set it up, though, as I'm not the network
admin. We have Unix servers.
I believe Websphere also allows it. I saw references to it in the
documentation.

However, the implementation may be different depending on platform. The
only reason I have ever had to use it was a lack of a decent scripting
ability when I was on a Unix server. When I do ASP, I simply set the
language at the top and use <% %> syntax. Now that we got JSP for Unix,
I don't use it at all.

Thanks. I went with a free one. Just have to tolerate their small ad, I
guess.
