Webstats ABC
When it comes to the question of Website visitor Statistics, there
seems to be a wide division of opinion. Does it really matter if you know
how mnay people visit your site or does it not? In my humble opinion, yes,
it matters a lot! The debates seem to be primarily focused on whether or
not to count, whether or not there is any real value to the information that
counting provides, and how best to accomplish the counting if you’re going to
count.
The first two parts are closely related, so I’ll address them
together. If you are interested in knowing how many people are visiting
your site, count them. This may seem obvious, but there really is some
dispute out there that seems to be centered on whether or not to count
visitors. If you look closely at the arguments back and forth, however,
you’ll notice that the focus is really more on how to count, rather than whether
or not to count. There is frequently confusion on this point, but take it
from me — at some point you’ll want to know how many people are coming to see
your site!

If your site is a commercial venture, then the count becomes even more
important. This applies whether the commercial nature is one of selling a
product or one of advertising. There are plenty of sites that started off
life as simply a means of providing a service to people, then grew into such
popular sites that they have supported commerce and/or advertising. HTML
Goodies is a great example of this. When it comes to advertising, it is
the statistical information regarding visitors that says everything to a
potential advertiser.

Goodies is a great example of this. When it comes to advertising, it is

potential advertiser.
Once you have decided to begin counting, there comes the question of how to
do it. First, let me describe a method that I do not recommend. That
would be any method that includes a visible counter. With a few exceptions
(which might include your site!), seeing a counter on a site does not provide
useful information to the visitor. It is my belief that this is the test
for whether or not something should be visible of the site. Being visible
could also make it counter-productive (sorry, I never could resist a pun!)
Imagine you have a site that sells cars and has a visible counter. You
don’t know what kind of volume your site’s visitor believes your site should be
getting, so let’s suppose they believe it should be a higher number than your
counter shows. The message to that visitor is “these cars are moderately
popular” or even “unpopular”. This is probably not what you want to
convey.

Hidden counters can be driven by a CGI script that logs to a file, or could
be driven by a service, or could be based on the web servers log files.
There are lots of hit counter scripts available on the net, but I have to say
that I am not a great fan of this method. The service method can provide
so much more information to you and is certainly easier to implement. You
also have no need to worry about compatibility with your web host’s server
technology. Check out http://www.thecounter.com At
The Counter you can get a pretty comprehensive set of stats about your visitors
for a very modest fee. There are also step by step instructions for you to

The last method I mentioned is to base your statistical analysis on the web
server’s log files. This is probably the most powerful method, providing
the broadest range of statistical analyses and graphs. It is also the most
expensive. To analyze a server’s log files comprehensively is quite a task
— one that you would probably not want to take on as a programming challenge
for yourself. Instead, you would want to use a Web Statistical Analysis
program product. Net IQ has a product called Webtrends that is great for
analyzing log files. They also offer a variety of service based
products. You can check out their site at http://www.netiq.com/ (the Webtrends product is

Q. I am constantly creating files (pdf or word) files that I need to show
to many co-workers. Instead of having to email everyone everytime I finish a
file, I would like to upload the file to my server and have them view the list
of files online and download the ones they want. These files need to be password
protected as different people in different departments should only see files
pertaining to them. Here was my idea, create a bunch of password protected
folders on a server – one for each department, and I will upload the file to any
folder that should be allowed to view these files. Two questions: 1) I put
the files in a folder, but when I try to view the folder in a browser it tells
me I don’t have permission to access this folder (I assume because I never
created an index file). How can I set it up that I should be able to view a list
of files that are in the folder? 2) how can I create a page that will
allow me to upload files to folders using a browser?

allow me to upload files to folders using a browser?
A. I believe you are correct in that you do not have an INDEX file for the
server to show when you try to access the folder. You could create an INDEX file
with the links to the documents for downloading. I am assuming that you have
already password protected the folder? An even easier way would be to use a
password log in feature for your pages. The application would allow users to
sign up themselves and you would control which group the user should be in and
only the documents or files you allow each group or person to view. There is a
nice web application called ASPLogin. It has to run on a server that supports
ASP. For example, to make a document available to all users in a group called
‘management’, members of a group called ‘administrators’ and a user called
‘fred’ (who may or may not be in either of the groups), you would add the
following code to the top of the document:
<.%@ LANGUAGE=VBScript
%>
<.%
Set
asplObj=Server.CreateObject(“ASPL.Login”)
asplObj.Group(“management”)
asplObj.Group(“administrators”)
asplObj.User(“Fred”)
asplObj.Protect
Set
asplObj=Nothing
%>
Any other group or person trying to see that
document will not be allowed to see it. It is a pretty slick application You can
take a look here: http://www.asplogin.com
To create a page
to allow you to upload documents would call for some scripting. This all depends
on what type of server you site is hosted on. If it is a Windows server then it
will support Active Server Pages (ASP).

A. This code will position the image in the center:

{
background-image :
url(image.jpg);
background-position : center
center;
background-repeat :

}
body
{
background-image :

To position in the center of a table, try using this (be sure to replace __
with the height and width of the image):
<.body>
<.table
height=”100%” width=”100%”>
<.tr><.td valign=”center”

page. I don’t want a full size window, just a small one. Can
JavaScript do this?
page. I don’t want a full size window, just a small one. Can
JavaScript do this?
A. Since you will probably have more than one link on a page you should set
up a function in your head section of your document that will be used by
multiple links. You can pass the html page you want to load in the window
to the function when the link is clicked on. With window.open() you can
set the
width, height, postion and other attributes. Here is an
example:
<.script language=”javascript”> function
OpenWin(linkid)
{ NewWin=window.open
(linkid,”newwin”,config=”width=200,height=250,location=no,status=no,directories=
no,toolbar=no,scrollbars=no,menubar=no,resizable=no,top=30,left=30″);
NewWin.focus()
}
<./script>
The variable
“linkid” contains the page you want to load. This was passed to the
function when the link was clicked on. Then in the body section of your
document your link could look like this:
<.A
HREF=”javascript:OpenWin(‘somepage.html’)”>Apples<./A>
You would
wrap the link around the word that you want to click on for more info. The
HTML Goodies site does have a tutorial on window.open()

and https://www.htmlgoodies.com/primers/jsp/hgjsp_12.html

click the SEND button, do I send mail automaticcally instead of it opening up

A. (Version 6 Browsers don’t support email forms. – Ed.)
You are going
to need some server side coding for this to work. And it depends on what your
server supports. Most hosting packages support some kind of script to send email
from a web form. Most free hosting sites do not. It all depends on what your
server supports. If your server supports Active Server Pages (ASP) then you can
use ASP to send email. If your server supports CGI or PERL then you can use that
to send email.

A. Just give your Iframes names and then in your link code add the link
target name like so:
<.IFRAME NAME=”iframe2″ SRC=”iframe2.html” ALIGN=””
HEIGHT=”” WIDTH=””>
<.a href=”somepage.html” target=”iframe2″>Your
