Re: [WSG] Extreme Tracker and xhtml
Hi everyone, OK, the extreme tracker is now working. Last time I posted, the xhtml valid tracker was working on some pages and not others. What I discovered was that the pages with older trackers wouldn't track with the valid code. I hadn't realized initially that there were different versions of the tracker. Once I realized it, I created new IDs for the older pages to replace the older tracker versions. That did the trick. =-) Cheryl http://www.lymeinfo.net Lyme Info <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: "I then went to the index page ...But it isn't working...I keep looking at the code and am baffled".

Re: [WSG] Extreme Tracker and xhtml
I'm not quite sure what's going on, but the fact that they use
document.write raises big flags:
EXd.write("");
document.write is not part of the DOM standard and will does not work on
XML pages (including XHTML). Your page is being sent as HTML so that
shouldn't be the problem, but regardless, that javascript is terrible by
modest standards. My suggestion is that you install php (or get a host
that supports it) and make your own.

Re: [WSG] Extreme Tracker and xhtml
Hi again, I made some more changes since posting, and I thought I had it working. It seemed it was a line-wrap problem. I found that I could turn off word-wrap in my text editor. I hadnt realized how important that was for _javascript_. I made the change for the "medical" site, and it started to work! I then went to the index page and removed the code from the splintered site. I copied and pasted the code exactly from medical, changed the 3 spots for user ID, and made sure the java code was on one line. I viewed the source code to confirm. But it isn't working. I thought it was just an extreme tracker delay, but I've now waited quite a while and it still isn't tracking. (It tracks me so I can easily test that) I keep looking at the code and am baffled. Anyway, I felt I should say something since I changed things since my previous post and the code won't appear as I previously described.

[WSG] Extreme Tracker and xhtml
Hi everyone! I am currently using the extreme tracker on my website and prefer it over some xhtml compliant ones like sitemeter and statcounter. Webstats4u is also ok, but it is not xhtml compliant. Through a google search, I came across the discussions on this list about making the extreme tracker compliant, but I am still having a tough time getting it to work. I followed the source code at Bert Doorns site without luck. I wrote to him and he kindly responded to put EXd.write on one line. I tried that without any success. However, I dont know if I corrected that properly. My text editor creates new lines when there are spaces. I tried eliminating all spaces in the line, and also tried just leaving the spaces before height and width. Neither worked. http://www.betterwebdesign.com.au/ my version: http://www.lymeinfo.net/medical.html I also tried the tip at the following site: http://www.splintered.co.uk/experiments/archives//DOM_extreme_tracker/ my version: http://www.lymeinfo.net Unfortunately, I couldnt get that to work either. I also noticed that on the splintered site and my site where I have the comparable code, there is often a notice in the bottom bar of firefox that it is waiting for the eo.extreme-dm site. This message is not found at Berts site at the same time, or at my other pages where I have non compliant trackers. I am wondering if anyone has any ideas about how I can fix the extreme tracker to make it compliant and functional. Thanks!
