    What you are asking about has NOTHING to do with CSS. In order to have a working counter you have to store the number on the SERVER using a languages like PHP or ASP... and using a database might help so the value can be locked to avoid collisions.

    Hi,
    Counter functions there are PHP,JavaScript, asp.net, only cound your visiters..

    Ex:
    PHP COUND CODE:
    <?php session_start();

    if(isset($_SESSION['views']))
    {
    $_SESSION['views']++;
    }
    else
    {
    $_SESSION['views']=0;
    }
    echo $_SESSION['views'];
    ?>

    Wow, that code's a laugh -- not sure what good it is telling the user how many times they've viewed the page this session... since sessions are access (visitor) specific.
