A question about "increment_page_counter.jsp"

[harkawy]

I created a web page with about 5 pages. The "home" page (index.html)
has a page counter on it. When readers enter the site, the page
counter increments. When they view the other pages and return to the
home page, the page counter increments. It is therefore possible for
a reader to increment the page counter dozens of numbers. As a
workaround, I created a hidden page that looks just like the home page
including the page counter. When the reader clicks on "Home" they go
to the hidden page. My problem is that the counter still increments
on this page. To display the code in my index.html file here, I
changed the "<" to a "{".

{SCRIPT language="JavaScript" src="http://svcs.verizon.net/svcs/
increment_page_counter.jsp?
obpp=Xlrc2O5cwtTqxMLU6M5Q3trawn5U6sbk4sxm6t4.&amp;type=e&amp;

The "obpp=" is coding for the size, location, font etc of the box that
has the count. Does anyone know what needs to be added to the
"command line" to set the increment value to 0, so that when my
readers go to the hidden homepage, the counter is displayed but doen't
increment?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
