Custom Images for FP Counter

E

Eric

I'm using FrontPage 2003 and would like to add a counter.
However, I would like to add a custom counter. How do I
go about this?

Do you just create a image with numbers on it? Can
anybody give me an example?

Yes, you create an GIF image which is a multiple of ten
pixels wide. The first tenth of the picture will become
the "zero" image, the second tenth the "one" image, and so
forth.

When you display the Hit Counter dialog box and specify
the location of the custom image, start with a backslash
and specify a location relative to the root of your Web
site.

For example, if the custom picture is in the images
folder, specify /images/custom.gif, even if you're working
in a subweb.

Yes, search "custom hit counter" in "Help".

You have to make 1 image with the numerals 0-9 each of which is exactly the same
size and evenly spaced. Save it as one image. (the counter code itself splits
the image and uses the separate digits and displays them as necessary.)

An example can be seen here, that I have done try this link:
