New x10 ad code

[yahia]

Hello

The ad code of X10's free hosting service is really a pain to have in a website.
That's why I'm suggesting to make a code much easy for everyone.

For a valid webpage's html, the actual code looks like:

<script language='JavaScript' type='text/javascript'>
// a lot of JS here
</script><noscript><a href='http://x10hosting.com/advert/adclick.php?n=a915c788' target='_blank'><img src='http://x10hosting.com/advert/adview.php?what=zone:3&n=a915c788' border='0' alt=''></a></noscript>

And this doesn't validate if you are authoring correct webpages.

But if you compare with the code they give at Technorati when you want to embed a bunch of links and stuff in your blog, here's the only thing you need to put:

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://embed.technorati.com/embed/somecode.js"></script>

And in a config page in your account at technorati.com, you choose which stuff you want to be shown.

Isn't technorati's code better? It doesn't involve the user's source code in any way. The code stays clean, and everything is done from one line.

Can X10 do make an ad code like this one?

Well the script is made from the script that x10 is using, so dunno.

[YamiKaitou]

Wouldn't that fall under editing the code? Cause if you look at the source code, can you not see the x10 ad code?

ya, maybe if you'd like to develop a script that would make it as easy as that, but as for now, we're using phpAdsNew, and that's what it outputs, we can't do anything about it, the whole script is in the code

By what i got from what yahia said, i think that validation will be passed if faulty javascript is executed from a javascript file (*.js), so if code would be just for short something like following:

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.x10hosting.com/ads.js"></script>

the faulty js inside it would not be readed in w3c validation, and it also would be smaller to be copied.

Interesting...

[yahia]

Exactly, t2t2t.

and that will be much better because X10 will have control of the JS file.
The actual solution doesn't provide much X10 to modify its code on all pages that utilize it.

Also, it is very lightweight and practical that way for everyone to copy and paste in his code.

Basicaly the one we have now dosnt have to be changed for new ads. If you are trying to get your page W3C validated, modify the code so that it works with the validation, then post it in free web hosting support, and we can approve it, as it dosnt have to be exact, but it needs to work and have certain data in it.

I use this:

<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
   if (!document.phpAds_used) document.phpAds_used = ',';
   phpAds_random = new String (Math.random()); phpAds_random = phpAds_random.substring(2,11);
   
   document.write ("<" + "script language='JavaScript' type='text/javascript' src='");
   document.write ("http://x10hosting.com/advert/adjs.php?n=" + phpAds_random);
   document.write ("&what=zone:3&target=_blank");
   document.write ("&exclude=" + document.phpAds_used);
   if (document.referrer)
      document.write ("&referer=" + escape(document.referrer));
   document.write ("'><" + "/script>");
//-->

</script><noscript><div><a href="http://x10hosting.com/advert/adclick.php?n=a915c788"><img src="http://x10hosting.com/advert/adview.php?what=zone:3&amp;n=a915c788" alt="" style="border:0" /></a></div></noscript>

you can find the orginal ad code when you click on your account button

Really, I don't bother with standards. I find that if the web page works how I want it too, then there is nothing wrong with the code.

Simple as that really. Same when I insert the ads! If they display fine then there is nothing wrong with them, and I can leave it alone, and not do anything to it.
