Counter I am fairly new to all of this but I think it's great! I've taken courses in HTML, JavaScript and currrently CGI Programming.
My question: Is there an easy way to make a counter in JavaScript? Seems like there should be but can't quite figure it out.
Thank you, :-|

Please define "counter". In programming terms, a counter is simple a variable that is incremented, perhaps within a loop. Yes, JavaScript can do that.

JavaScript cannot do that. It has no way to read/write info to the server, since it's a client-side language. You'll need a server-side program to implement a "hit counter".
