I have created a new homepage with FrontPage and I would like to set the number of hits on the counter to the number that the old page had. I have tried to set the number through FrontPage component properties, but it did not work. What else can I try? Thanks.

Are you sure? That is actually the way to do it. You have to remember as soon as you visit the page, it changes right away also. If your brave you can actually look for the text file that stores the number and change it. :)

I've checked the counter(cnt) file - it gives the correct number. I've published the cnt file. I've checked the source code after publishing, and it gives the correct number. But the counter does not display the correct number! Please help. The site is http://www.meekstractor.com. Here is the code for the counter:

Thanks to whoever can help me.

hello Andrew,
i spent some time looking at your code... and my only suggestion is to ditch front page... (i know that isn't what you want to hear) but there is a LOT of code that is TOTALLY not necessary, that ultimately slows down load time..
Iwould suggest that the problem with the counter has something to do with the "PREVIEW" value...
but there are MANY other ways to get the counter to work with a little less code... and all of the
"dynamicanimation" (in your output code) are un necessary since nothing happens on the rollover... they don't even change colors, or anyting but act as a tradiditonal ancor tags.
sorry i wasn't more helpful
