• dd is the letter defining a digit from A to E ranging from Odometer to script text.
• st is the start number
• df is a unique name for a counter file to be created in a non-public directory on the system. The data file should reflect the page and user's name.

Frame color and Thickness

A frame with a bluish color is wrapped by default. You have to use ft=0 to ignore this feature.

This may not work with all browsers. You should use at least one keyword in the query string (for example, df=data_file ). Random counter is displayed as no data file is specified. The default frame thickness, color and digit style is used.

No df= option, therefore random digits are displayed. Because of ft=1 no frame was wrapped.

The wrapped frame is of the asked color and default thickness. The color is used as hex string. Note, DO NOT add # before the string as you use with Netscape. In query string, if you use a #, everything after # is ignored. So, be careful.

or you use can use the RGB triplets:

or you even use the color name. You have to add this support while you configure using the Count-config script.
