Cache Page add on's

Is it possible to list other codes that we can cut and paste to our web pages, here on this site. The format would be the same as the help get the word out.

I got this idea the other day when looking at a cache page in Michigan. Well, I was here but the page was for a cache in Michigan. Here is the link to the Page. GCVBBX I like the counter for the TB's and Coins.

Could we get a Library of sorts for these type of "Gadgets" for the cache pages?

This could probably be possible however when reviewing the cache page that you mention it doesn't look like the counters are dynamic. It looks like the owner of the cache page had to manually change the numbers. If you look at the travelbug history for the cache you can see that the history and the counter stats don't agree.
This would be neat to have. I'm not sure how hard it would be to do though.

Awe man. I just assumed that they were dynamic. Shoot that just talked the wind out of my sails.

But if there are other cool things like this could the script be placed on a page of this site so we all could use them on our pages?

If someone sends me a significant number of these "cool addons for cache pages" (like 3 or 4) I can set up a Wiki page to collect them up... we'd probably link to it from the "Help Spread the Word" page. The good thing about a Wiki page is that others can add anything they find too.

Note that the number of "cool things" that can be done on a cache page is limited because only a subset of HTML tags are allowed by geocaching.com. Most importantly, JavaScript cannot be used.
