Re: SSI and .shtml (was Site Counter Script)

It was mentioned earlier about XbitHack and SSI.  Some servers of course
don't allow either. There is an alternative that i've used that actually
works.

Say you don't have SSI (Server Side Includes) on your server but you want
to include a script from an html page or an ASP page or other types of
pages like that. You could use an Inline Frame which will bring in the
page, file, or script you want, in a cgi's case, you may just want it to
track the hits to the page, so You don't want the script to be seen, but
defiantly executed, you could easily point an Inline frame to your script
without letting the visitor know about it by making the frame 1 x 1
pixels, which is too small to notice. 
<IFRAME SRC="http://site.com/cgi-bin/counter.cgi" WIDTH=1 HEIGHT=1
SCROLLING="no" FRAMEBORDER=0 MARGINHEIGHT=0 MARGINWIDTH=0></IFRAME> You
could adjust the size (measured in pixels) to whatever you wish, Inline
Frames are also good for binging in perl scripts that will show the server
date & time too, In that case you'd just adjust the Iframe's size so that
you can read the script's output.
