If you are having
trouble with your page's layout after inserting
the code, it could be because you're placing
the code in an area of the source code where it
won't work (like between two table cells). A quick
fix is to remove the code and re-insert in a better
location. A sure-fire location is just after the
opening body tag or just before the closing body
tag. If you are using the free-hit-counter with
no service upgrade, you obviously must decide where
you would like the "free-hc" banner to
display on your page. The most common place is just
before the closing body tag </body>, as this
usually dispays the free-hc banner at the very bottom
of the webpage. If this is all greek to you, access
your page's source code and find the locations we
are recommending by referring to the following example:
<html>
<head>
<title>One of the pages on your website!!</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;
charset=iso-8859-1">
</head>
<body>here
is one place to put your code!!
<<-----your
webpage content----->>
here
is another super location for your code!!
</body>
</html>
If
you are experiencing JavaScript errors after installing
your code , it is usually one of two things that
cause these errors:
1) If you installed the free-hc code from an
email copy , and it isn't working, your e-mail program
may have altered the code by introducing extra line
breaks. If you suspect this to be the culprit, you
may alternatively have another copy of code sent
to another email service by sending an email to
code@free-hit-counters.com
. Emailing this address will cause a copy of the
code to be sent by return response. However with
this copy you must insert your username into the
code in four places (where you see :PUT-YOUR-USER-NAME-HERE).
To avoid the email induced problem entirely, new
users can simply highlight and copy the code presented
at the finish of signup (rather than use the copy
sent buy email upon signup). Using this source,
you can rule out the email program as a possible
problem.

Your web page editor program may be altering your
code. Below are resources to help with most of the
popular programs in use. Some HTML editing programs
"cleanup" the code on your page before
publishing it. This process can alter the Free-Hit-Counters.com
code, by adding unfavorable line breaks. You may
want to check your web page editor preference to
turn off any features that clean up your code like
CodeSweepers. Please read below for specifics about
the HTML program you use. One simple cure would
be to start over and install the code into your
.html files directly, using Notepad. This will allow
you to avoid any pitfalls creating by well-wishing
programs which automatically "organize"
your code for you.
You
will find links below to several popular web page
editing programs. If you are experiencing problems,
find your program and read the specific notes.
