What Am I Doing Wrong???
« on: Friday 11 March 05 11:19 GMT (UK) »

I have been trying for ages now to add the Rootschat counter to the introduction page of my website.
It is very difficult because the language is all "gobbledegook" to me.
Yesterday I worked out that I should be on the 'source retrieved from cache' page. It only took me a month to find that out, so you can see what a "klutz" I am when it comes to "computer speak". However tenacity being my middle name I plodded on.
Now, having found that page and typed in the necessary code above the >body< as requested........................nothing happened.
Please could someone explain in very simple language what I need to do to get a counter?Huh

Regards............................Cybrgran

Hi cybergran !

I have the following line  after the <body> tag:

<script language="javascript" src="http://counter.rootschat.net/counter.php?page=boco"> <!--//--> </script>

Yours should like this:

<script language="javascript" src="http://counter.rootschat.net/counter.php?page=rootsandbranches"> <!--//--> </script>

try it as the first line after the <body> tag and see if it works, then we can try putting it exactly were you want it.

 Thank you,
I copied and pasted the line you suggested after the body tag and before the html tag at the bottom of the page, The trouble is, it does not stay there?
How can I save it to that site?

Sorry, I think you will have to ask Trystan.

You are using a Content Management System and I don't know exactly what they do with the various files. It sounds as it is overwriting your changes !

Trystan,....   Where are you ..... ?

He, guess what !!

I was just trying it out on another website.  First of all, I got the same response you did, i.e. NOTHING !

Then, I just put the line above </head> and suddenly it worked !
