I am trying to make a very simple hit counter in Frontpage 2003. I created a
GIF of the numbers (evenly spaced) from 0-9 in PhotoShop. When I add it to a
web page it shows up as just a black box, no numbers. I tried saving the GIF
in a few different ways, with a white matt, with a white background, with a
transparent background.

Thank you for your help!

Thanks for the compliment.
I checked your new "image."

Looks good.

Thank you (and Steve) the tool works great! I am still wondering (I'm sorry,
that's just the way I am) why the GIF I made didn't work. It seems like it
is just a simple image. Maybe it has to be certain dimensions? Any thoughts?
Thanks again.

You make one GIF file with the digits 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 right? The digits
must be evenly spaced (as you've done), and the same size.

So you could put a box/border around each digit, which would then enable
them to be the same size e.g. 15px x 15px or whatever.

Thanks for your reply. I made a GIF in Photoshop using Courier font and the
grid option so that I could make sure the numbers were evenly spaced. I
don't know if the numbers not being evenly spaced would make it show up as
just a black square. I think it would just make the counter not work really
well....but I'm not an expert. I don't know.....and that really bothers me
:)
Thank you!

The width of the image must be evenly divisible by 10.
Height doesn't matter.

Also, transparent images will not work. fpcount.exe is not designed to
handle transparency.

Transparency, that was it! Thank you!
