Calendars & Counters

[lanmeister]

Help. I am just getting into Web Design and need a little assistance please. I want to place two objects into my web pages. One is a simple counter that accurately counts the number of visitors to the website. The second is a calendar that I, as webmaster, can add events to that any visitor can then see. I would like this to be a monthly style calendar with the option of selecting the month from a yearly popup.

All of this in simple, easy to understand code. <Chuckle>. Any help or redirection to existing code would be appreciated.

TIA

Did you perchance delete the last post that I replied to? :confused:

Nope. This is the first time I have been into these forums and your response (the one to which I'm replying) is the first one I have had.

Sorry. TIA

Ahh... sorry I had you confused with someone else then! :)

For a counter, unless you can use server-side scripting, you'll probably be best off using a free counter from one of the many providers out there... can't think of any offhand but you'll find plenty by googling it.

If you can use ASP, I can definitely help you with an ASP counter, I have basic counters and more advanced counters that use a database.

As for a calendar, that should be doable with javascript with slight modifications of an existing script... check out these links:

Hope this helps! :D
