Is there a way to implement a hit counter thats pure HTML ?
I don't want to display the hits on the web pages, just want to gather
stats.
HTML means "Hypertext Markup Language".
HTML only defines the structure of the document. It does nothing else.
To count the hits, you need something on your server that is capable of
doing that.
This can be done on your own with server-side scripting. But often your host
already has something like Webalizer or Analog stats already on the machine
However, I've never seen a (paid) web host that does not offer this.
There is no excuse for being on a free web host such as Tripod or
Geoshitties.
Any hosting company worth dealing with will be able to provide you with
stats.
I'm sure some of the other Aussies who read this group can recommend some
hosting.
Here in the US, I use Page-Zone
http://www.page-zone.com and I've been very
satisfied.
