Line of code added by orange?

I'm using my orange webspace to host some of my files and I just noticed
that after uploading a script is added to the end of my html (it
activated the active-x warning in IE).

Can anyone explain what it does and why they would add it in?

<script language='javascript'>document.write('<img
src="http://sitebuilder.orange.co.uk/servlets/istat?site=slightlyclothing&page=/dcomment.html&outil=ftpweb&n='
+ Math.round(Math.random()*100000) + '" width=1 height=1>'); </script>

Many thanks,

Moo

It seems I can't delete it either as it just adds it back in....

Well what does the script do?

Can you suggest any other free webspace?

It's a tracking/stats gathering device. Hidden from normal view; the
"width=1 height=1" pixels is a clue to that. The math.random assures the
link is not cached and is called every time one visits the page.

Thanks for that, I've put <!-- --> around the code, would that stop
it executing?

That's Nature's Way of telling you not to host with Orange.

This stuff probably does one of two things, user tracking or slipping
in banner ads. Neither is excusable. With the price of cheap hosting
these days, just go somewhere else that doesn't mess you about like
this.

The question you should ask is whether doing that would be a breach of
the service agreement with your host. Read their terms of service and
find out if their injected code (or anything else) is required for your
free account.
