That's the classic difference between a generalized solution like WebCatalog, and a specific solution like NetCloak. Some things that NetCloak decides are important will be very short. The answer to this in WebCatalog is to use [include] so that you only have to write the stuff once, and then it's easy to include it on all your pages.OTOH, some things are impossible _without_ WebCatalog: for instance, keeping stats of all the different types of browsers that are hitting your site (I posted a short WebDNA example of this last week). Also, the MasterCounter example tracks more information like last date of access, and can display a summary of all your hits in a nice table. These are things that NetCloak can't do until they decide to add the feature. Don't get me wrong -- NetCloak is a super product, but it's not designed to address the same solutions as WebCatalog. They're in completely different niches.>[ShowIf [IPAddress]^.net-hwy.com]IPAddress is a number, not a name, so this becomes [ShowIf [IPAddress]~206.170.191] (~ means 'starts with')You probably already know about [include], but I'll mention it so others can benefit:Create a file with all of Glenn's WebDNA in it, and save it at the root of your web server folder.
