simple onclick counter

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
May 18.2005

Hi,
I have reached a point in programing my web page where I think that PHP cant help me.
I need to count the amount of times someone clicks on 1 link. It is a big company and I offered them this link for free but in 6 months I want to be able to say how many people have clicked to them from my website.

I want to write a .txt file with a number on. I have no problem with creating a counter. The problem is that I have no idea of JavaScript and [SIZE=4]all I want is on the onClick it opens a new window with the page in AND adds 1 to the .txt file.[/SIZE]
Surely this is extremely simple for anyone who knows javascript?

I would be very grateful for anyone who can help.

Thanks

Jon

@David_HarrisonMay 18.2005 — JavaScript can't do that, it would have to be done with a server-side language. Your best bet would be to link to a .php script that increments the value in the .txt and then uses a server-side redirect to send them onto your site.

Success!
