h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

I am all for change and I like the new look, many of the features will make life easier. However, I have a counter on my page which I have grown very attached to. It is from TheCounter.com and unlike normal counters it gives me lots of useful information regarding my 'hits'. It appears to have been rejected by the GuideML Parser because it uses Java Script. Is there anyway I can have my presnt counter. I know that other users have the same problem. Maybe you could make an exception for this bit of code?

I have the counter.com counter on my page & it works fine.

Here's the code from my page - maybe you can spot the difference (sorry but its 3.20am here & its bedtime for Bruces)


<!-- Start of TheCounter.com Code -->
<!--
s="na";c="na";j="na";f=""+escape(document.referrer)
//-->
<!--
s=screen.width;v=navigator.appName
if (v != "Netscape") {c=screen.colorDepth}
else {c=screen.pixelDepth}
j=navigator.javaEnabled()
//-->
<!--
function pr(n) {document.write(n,"\n");}
NS2Ch=0
if (navigator.appName == "Netscape" &&
navigator.appVersion.charAt(0) == "2") {NS2Ch=1}
if (NS2Ch == 0) {
r="&size="+s+"&colors="+c+"&referer="+f+"&java="+j+"";
pr("")}
pr(" Since 9 November, 1999");
//-->

<!-- End of TheCounter.com Code -->


hope it helps

Oh & my page is set to GuideML type

;^)#

It still doesn't work for me, my ID is 1091847. I copied your code and replaced your id with mine and rather than an error it just refuses to display anything. It isn't set on invisible mode so I've no idea why it is not there. I don't know much about HTML code so if anyone has any ideas I would love to hear them!!

I'll do a bit of digging & get back to you on this

Thank you

I have to wait for a response to an email to h2g2 - so it won't be until office hours in the UK - if you don't hear anything from me within 24hours feel free to harass/remind me

Hello again, I've copied your settings (appearance wise) for the counter but still no luck.
