Okay, I'm Very new to CGI but I've created my own ickle hit counter. it's at http://www.brit-celebs.co.uk/cgi-bin/counter.cgi and I was wandering If there's anyway that I can make this output goto a webpage at all.. say http://www.brit-celebs.co.uk

Any Ideas?

id imagine on the page u have your counter on you must of typed some sort of code that looks roughly like this

 (or something similar)

all u need to do is in your website where ever u want the counter to be just put the code in where the counter is to appear

Erm,Didn't work , I've tried this code as the test.htm page but it doesn't display anything.

<html>
<head>
<title>Untitled Document</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
</head>

<body bgcolor="#FFFFFF" text="#000000">
<font face="Tahoma" size="2"><b>


</b></font>
</body>
</html>

the cgi-code which I saved as counter.cgi works fine by itself though.

Try renaming the page as test.shtml. If you want to use SSI you'll usually have to use the .shtml extension.

Cheers,

How and whether you can include CGI scripts like that is server-dependant. The classic way to use CGI is to have a CGI script return an entire HTML page. There are many ways of organising this, but as what seems to be a commercial site, you'll need to be paying consultancy rates for specific detailed advice :)
