Counter configuration
VirtuaWeb clients have access to the system counter, which includes many options and digit styles. Our server actually has two pre-installed counters, the FrontPage counter and the HTML counter. The FrontPage counter can only be used by users publishing their pages using Microsoft FrontPage on their site. The FrontPage counter does not offer many options, and has few digit styles. If you have the ability to insert HTML codes into your site, we recommend the HTML counter.
To use the FrontPage counter, simply open your page in FrontPage, click Insert, move to Active Elements, and chose Hit Counter.
To use the HTML counter, you must insert an HTML tag like this:
<IMG SRC="http://www.virtuaweb.net/cgi-bin/counts50.dll?link=linkID">
Change the linkID to your FTP username with a number after it. For example, if you are hosting sprocket.com with us and you want to put a counter on your main page, your linkID would be sprocket1. You can add additional counters to other pages by using counter2, counter3, etc...
By using the line above, you will create a counter on your page with the default values, which are a counter 5 digits long using a generic odometer-style digit style, like the one below:
You can change the default attributes to meet your needs by appending options to the IMG tag above. Each option must be separated with an "&", like below:
<IMG SRC="http://www.virtuaweb.net/cgi-bin/counts50.dll?link=linkID&width=3">
You may use any of the options listed below to modify your counter. The <> shows which value to change. Do NOT include the <>'s in your counter reference.
width=<w> Represents the width of counter image in digits. Max value 10. Default value 5.
style=<style_id> The <style_id> is the name of the digit style you wish to use. Default value A. Below are the currently installed digit sets. Simply use the letter or word before the digit set you wish to use as the <style_id>, without the colon.

increase=<i> The value by which the counter value is changed every time the program is called. Can be any integer value, even negative one. Default value 1.
show=NO If show=NO, the counter value will be incremented by <i>, but no image will appear on the page. By default the counter will be shown.
