I guess its time to share <img src=icon_smile_blush.gif border=0 align=middle>
Here's the code for:
1. Knowing how many people are currently viewing your site using global.asa
2. and a counter using global.asa
Copy and paste the following in notepad. Make sure your extension is .asa
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE=VBScript RUNAT=Server>
Sub Application_OnStart
Application("Active") = 0
Application("NumberofHits") = 0
End Sub
Sub Application_OnEnd
'nothing needed here for this example
End Sub
Sub Session_OnStart
Session.Timeout = 5
Session("Start") = Now
Application.lock
Application("Active") = Application("Active") + 1
'add 1 to active visitor count when new visitor arrives
Application("NumberofHits") = Application("NumberofHits") + 1
Application.unlock
End Sub
Sub Session_OnEnd
Application.lock
Application("Active") = Application("Active") - 1
'subtract 1 active visitor when visitor leaves
Application.unlock
End Sub
</SCRIPT>
On your HTML use the following tags to incorporate the global application:
1. Active Visitors :
You are one of<b> <%=Application("Active")%> </b>current visitors.
2: Counter
You are visitor #<% = Application("NumberofHits")%>
Demo: http://24.160.56.133/forums
PS: I'm assuming you're not running any other global based applications with this settings. If so, please make sure that you consider session.timeout configurations.

Correct me if i'm wrong but that would reflect more accurate count on current site visitors..especially when u refresh.. and server res wouldnt be eaten much..am i right or not?
prolly if you're running ADO connections via global.asa session.timeout shouldn't be that low...otherwise if you got slow posters like me..by the time they hit -post my topic-..session already timed out, ergo no db connections. post gone bye bye <img src=icon_smile_sad.gif border=0 align=middle>

Starting a session over and over again also has implications when you use session variables to i.e. store admin-access and costs considerable resources when used with more than a few users.

FYI,
This code has already been posted on this forum. Take a look at this thread
The difference in the new code is that this has also included a counter for NumberofHits.

Hmmm, this is strange.
My last post also included this at the end:
<BLOCKQUOTE id=quote><font size=1 face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica" id=quote>quote:<hr height=1 noshade id=quote>
The difference in the new code is that this has also included a counter for NumberofHits.
<hr height=1 noshade id=quote></BLOCKQUOTE id=quote></font id=quote><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica" size=2 id=quote>
But that doesn't show in the post. Something wrong with the Snitz forum?

All better!! You had an extra "] before the word thread which was throwing off the URL conversion....

When setting the session.timeout property in the global.asa file, you have to remember that it sets it for the whole website or application which the global.asa is sitting in. So if you have some other script that uses sessions, you dont want that session to expire in five minutes, it is very annoying for the user.
P.S I really hope that you dont put your ADO connection in the session variable!!
