Can you hide hit counter from visitors

C

Is it possible to have a "hit counter" on a web page without it being visible
to visitors to the page. Or is there a form of programming that could
include a background hit counter that would store the data in a file?

Create a 1 pixel by 1 pixel gif image the same color as your page background, and use it as the
custom image for the hit counter.

The actual count is stored in a file named filename.htm.cnt in the _private folder and can be
viewed using Notepad.

filename = the actual "file name" for the page, such as index.htm.cnt

I remember that trick from a while back. how about surrounding it in the
code with <div style="display:none;"> </div>

I don't know. LOL
I use it to hide stuff in pre-made apps a lot of times as it's easier than
trying to "un-do" the code in most cases.
