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

TELL ME HOW YOU DO THAT!

Okay, I'm going to have to put a page up or something, people keep asking me how I do them.

For the changy colours, put the following code (I don't recommend altering it) after the tag in your page.

for (var i = 0; i < initArray.arguments.length; i++) {
this[i] = initArray.arguments[i];
}
this.length = initArray.arguments.length;

// you may fill this colors array with your colors.
// the script will rotate the links through these colors
var colors = new initArray(

vlink = (vlink+1)%colors.length;
//alert("link "+link+"\r\nvlink "+vlink+"\r\nvlinkColor "+document.vlinkColor);
document.linkColor = colors[link];
document.vlinkColor = colors[vlink];
setTimeout("linkDance();",pause_time*1000);
}
linkDance();

For the button, you need to put the following code after the tag as well..

Here-


var alerted_already;
var remark;
function theytyped(form) {
for ( j = 1;
j<=remark.length && remark[j]!=form.myoutxt.value;
j++){}
if (j>remark.length)
form.myoutxt.value = "Do not type here!";
return false;
}
function touched_frog() {
if (!alerted_already) {
alert(""+
""+
""+
""+
""+
"");
alerted_already = true;
}
return alerted_already;
}
function compute(form) {
for (var i = 1;
i<=remark.length && remark[i]!=form.myoutxt.value ;
i++){}
if (i==remark.length)
history.back();
if (i==remark.length-1) alert("Dear Sir or Madam:"+

"\n\n It has come to our attention that you have been harassing"+

"\none of the buttons on the web. Although most buttons are"+

"\nunderstanding about this type of thing (being repeatedly pressed),"+

"\nsome rogue buttons have decided to form a support group and have"+

"\npetitioned the webmaster for funds to provide a secure place for"+

"\nrest and relaxation. Due to the large number of requests, this"+

"\nwarning has been installed:"+

"\n IF YOU PERSIST PRESSING THIS BUTTON,"+

"\nYOU WILL BE EJECTED FROM THIS SCREEN."+

"\n\n Thank you for your cooperation,"+

"\n\n The Federation for Oppressed and Abused Buttons"+

"\n\nenclosure: Message from oppressed complaintant"+

"\n\nDear Federation for Oppressed and Abused Buttons"+

"\n\n As I have been able to secure your assistance before,"+

"\nI beg your help in stopping the on going abuse I am once again"+

"\nforced to endure. THIS GUY WILL NOT STOP!"+

"\n\n Sincerely"+

"\n\n Push Me"+

"\n\np.s. I will definitely attend the annual meeting next July");
if (i<remark.length)
form.myoutxt.value = remark[i+1];
else
form.myoutxt.value = remark[1];
}
function initArray() {
this.length = initArray.arguments.length;
for (var i = 0; i < this.length; i++)
this[i+1] = initArray.arguments[i];
}
remark = new initArray("Thanks!",

"Once is enough!",

"Are you deaf?",

"Go!!..Go back to H2G2!!",

"PISS OFF!",

"I give up. Please stop.",

"I DID say please!!!",

"O.K. I HEARD YOU!",

"This is NOT funny!",

"I give up.",

"This is now a BACK BUTTON!!!!");
alerted_already = false;
//

to here.

And you put the following script wherever you want the button to go.

from here-





to here.

PS I don't recommend leaving the "from here to here" bits in either!!

Is yours in GUIDEML?

yeah, but it works in both html and guideml.

Does it?!? When I did it in GUIDEML it kept coming up as errors but when I put it in HTML it worked...

You must have been pressing preview, because it's a html code. But it does work in GuideML cos my page is in guideml.

Yeah, so's mine nooooow
