By default, Web-Stat records the pages visitors go to by using their URLs as shown in the browser's URL window. In some cases you may want Web-Stat to use a different way to name pages. This is what this parameter is for. You can set it in two different ways :

• use the page title : you can have your stats refer to your pages by using their titles, as they appears at the top of the browser window (the value of the <title> tag in your HTML). To do this, simply replace :
  
  var page_name='#';
  
  with :
  
  var page_name=document.title;
  
  
• name the pages manually : you can manually name each page on which you install the Web-Stat code. To do this, simply replace :
  
  var page_name='#';
  
  with :
  
  var page_name='some_name';
  
  some_name can be any sequence of alphabetical characters and numbers, along with the underscore character. Special characters, punctuation, etc. are not permitted.

The ability to name pages is very useful if your URLs are long and complicated, and/or if they use query strings (a question mark followed by a string of parameters). In that case naming your pages inside the Web-Stat code will make your stats much more legible

By default Web-Stat is invisible, however you can change that setting in the Control Panel, which would cause a counter to appear on all your pages. If you want to overrule the general setting and make a counter appear only on a specific page, you can do so with this parameter :

• force a visible counter : If your counter is set to be invisible site-wide and you want it to be visible on a specific page, simply edit the code on this page and replace :
  
  var invisible='#';
  
  with :
  
  var invisible='no';
  
  
• force an invisible counter : If your counter is set to be visible site-wide and you want it to be invisible on a specific page, simply edit the code on this page and replace :
  
  var invisible='#';
  
  with :
  
  var invisible='yes';

If you want a visible counter, you don't have to use one of the 175 digit styles we offer. Instead you can have the counter appear on your site as plain text, which can be formatted to look exactly like the rest of the text on your page and inserted into any paragraph or sentence. For example, this is what we use to tell you that the Web-Stat site has received visitors to date. To do this on your site, simply replace :

var text_counter='#';

with :

var text_counter='yes';

Note that the counter links to your stat's login page ; if you want to style the text differently (so that it does not look like a link for instance), simply add a simple styling instruction in your page's html, like this :

<style type="text/css">
#wts_counter { color:#3B317D; text-decoration: none; font-weight:normal }
</style>

The above is only an example : you can style the counter in any way that you wish.
