Footer_script Statcounter tracking code

Hello,

I have installed the tracking code from Statcounter (as attached) in the footer_script and it counts just fine. I am using ZP12, business.

The problem is that both when I install code for a visible and for an invisible counter these 3 characters are shown in the lower left corner ");
The visible counter is never shown.
Do you have any idea why this happens please?

Thank you for your help
Kind regrds Vibeke

Of course Uwe, thanks.

The counter shows correctly when I am editing as you can see from the attached screen shot, but not in Vorschau nor online where only the characters show.

I have seen it before on sites I have made, but did not do anything about it, here for instance: http://www.mpeppa.gr/. Here the counter should be invisible and still the characters show.

I added that and tried some other things too, but it does not help. I probably do not know well enough how to edit the java script. Maybe you would be kind enough to write the whole line for me?

In the html validation I get this message

Hi Uwe,

I put code from 'HITWEBCOUNTER' before the Statcounter code and it counts and shows ok. The funny thing is that the fault "Stray end tag script" has now disappeared in the W3 html validation. I do not understand why.
It's not a pretty solution but at least the customer has a counter to look at
