Is there some other extension I can use on my pages instead of .html .htm .shtml? (I cant run php)

**da_silvy** · Nov 16th, 2001, 01:53 AM

do you have control of the server?

**Sacofjoea** · Nov 16th, 2001, 06:48 PM

no..just my site on the server

**Wynd** · Nov 16th, 2001, 07:13 PM

Just curious, but why do you need another extension?

**Sacofjoea** · Nov 16th, 2001, 07:42 PM

Well, i'm using a free server and they put this little red dot tracker on each of our pages.. its not that big of a deal, but I really dislike it and it puts more space on my page.. well the way they do this is they open ever html, shtml, htm file you have on the server and inserts that..

**da_silvy** · Nov 16th, 2001, 08:28 PM

put it in a txt file.

Then it's only parsed by ie though

That's kind of bad though, ripping off a free service

**Sacofjoea** · Nov 16th, 2001, 08:29 PM

lol yeah, but you got money to give me so I can do it to a pay company?

**Sacofjoea** · Nov 16th, 2001, 08:31 PM

anyways, its not advertised in their TOS, when i brought it up in the message boards, everyone was surprised by it and just now noticed it.. the main guy said "its a tracker, dont worry about it..it should only be on one page" its on all of mine.. Plus they try to trick you by saying "no ad frames or banners" but there are popups.. bastards

wont naming it as a text just show the text when a visitor views the page?

**sail3005** · Nov 16th, 2001, 09:17 PM

yeah, it will show the source

**da_silvy** · Nov 16th, 2001, 10:13 PM

Have a look at this:

http://144.132.20.16/testtext.txt

It's a text file but it is still parsed and shown.. (only in ie (i think))

Note that in some cases (such as .JSP, .ASP, .PHP, etc.), even though you begin the file with <html> it might treat it like a .JSP, a .ASP, etc. By that I mean the server might try to parse it up even though it's nothing to parse.

Why not try this lil' trick? Let's say that they put it right after the <body> tag finishes:

Code:

<!-- <body>

-->
<body>
.
.
.

That way it might put itself in comments.

**Sacofjoea** · Nov 16th, 2001, 10:49 PM

well apparently they also put their code in the txt files as well

and as far as the comment thing, good idea but they insert it before and after the html

**da_silvy** · Nov 16th, 2001, 10:58 PM

If you seach the net, people have normally figured out how to get rid of it.

Is it an actual image on the page?

**Sacofjoea** · Nov 16th, 2001, 11:27 PM

no its like a small dot.. almost like a period

**da_silvy** · Nov 16th, 2001, 11:42 PM

Where can i see an example of this?
