texte = Hi There used to be an ad server widget thingy on the webdna samples page, not sure if it has made it across. Basically the ad linked to a redirect page with code like this on it... Link from the ad... AdsRedirect.html?AdvertID=1001 Code on the redirect page... [ReturnRaw]HTTP/1.0 302 Found Location: [Lookup db =Adverts.db&lookInField=AdvertID&value=[AdvertID]&returnField=AdvertURL] [Replace db=Adverts.db&eqAdvertIDdatarq=[AdvertID]]AdvertNumClicks=[math] [Lookup db = Adverts .db&lookInField=AdvertID&value=[AdvertID]&returnField=AdvertNumClicks] +1[/math][/Replace] [/ReturnRaw] Basically it looks up the db to find the actual url, then it adds 1 to the "AdvertNumClicks" variable. Hope it helps.
