Submitted by razormist on Tuesday, March 12, 2019 - 15:20.
In this tutorial we will create a Simple Visitor Page Count using JavaScript. This code can trace the total visitor that visited your page based on the IP. The code itself use cookie to store a counter that increment every time the visitor visit your page. Feel free to modify and apply it in your system, this is a user-friendly kind of program We will be using JavaScript as a server-side scripting language because It gives a greater control of your web page and extend its capability in a modern way approach. It is written in HTML or as an external sourcing to add some necessary features in your website.

Getting started:

First you have to download bootstrap framework, this is the link for the bootstrap that I used for the layout design https://getbootstrap.com/.

The Main Interface

This code contains the interface of the application. To create this just write these block of code inside the text editor and save this as index.html.
  1. <!DOCTYPE html>
  2. <html lang="en">
  3.         <head>
  4.                 <meta charset="UTF-8" name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1"/>
  5.                 <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css/bootstrap.css"/>
  6.         </head>
  8.         <nav class="navbar navbar-default">
  9.                 <div class="container-fluid">
  10.                         <a class="navbar-brand">Sourcecodester</a>
  11.                 </div>
  12.         </nav>
  13.         <div class="col-md-3"></div>
  14.         <div class="col-md-6 well">
  15.                 <h3 class="text-primary">JavaScript - Simple Visitor Page Count</h3>
  16.                 <hr style="border-top:1px dotted #ccc;"/>
  17.                 <div id="result"></div>
  18.         </div>
  19. <script src="js/script.js"></script>
  20. </body>
  21. </html>

Creating the Script

This code contains the script of the application. This code will count the times that the visitor visited a page. To do this just copy and write these block of codes inside the text editor, then save it as script.js inside the js folder.
  1. expiration = new Date;
  2. expiration.setMonth(expiration.getMonth()+6)
  3. counter = eval(cookieVal("total_visited"))
  4. counter++
  5. document.cookie = "total_visited="+counter+";expires=" + expiration.toGMTString()
  6.  
  7.  
  8. function cookieVal(cookieName) {
  9.         thisCookie = document.cookie.split("; ")
  10.         for (i=0; i<thisCookie.length; i++){
  11.                 if (cookieName == thisCookie[i].split("=")[0]){
  12.                         return thisCookie[i].split("=")[1]
  13.                 }
  14.         }
  15.         return 0;
  16. }
  17.  
  18. document.getElementById('result').innerHTML = "<center><h3>You visited this page <label style='font-size:40px;' class='text-info'>"+counter+"</label> times.</h3></center>";
