Online GURU codes decrypter

[chris]

Of course, it's better to do this sort of thing server-side.  I don't have a list of codes to hand, but I just knocked up this.  Try 80000001 or 80000002.

(it needs some work, obviously, but only serves as an example)

Even better, try this.  It even runs on an Amiga, but will only be up for about 15-20 mins so if you want to try it be quick.  Sorry for the formatting, I don't have time to fix it.

(Hmm, I can't seem to connect even from the machine it's running on, and this alternative doesn't seem any better.  If you try it let me know if you can connect or not, I suspect something is blocked at my ISP)
Oops, my mistake, it works now, forgot to update the DNS.

I had actually done a server side decrypter first but  determined any server side generation of something so trivial to be a waste of bandwidth and not nearly as responsive. I would only ever do server side in cases where complexity, large data sets or compatability would be an issue. If there is a browser out there that cant handle javascript as simple as that it doesnt deserve to be installed! Plus, people can save this page localy and use it! (feel free to do so)

That's true.  I'm not sure about the bandwidth-saving issue as you are sending more data over the network with JavaScript, also some people don't like to have it enabled.

btw, if your after a reference for the guru codes fo your page, check my page as it has them further down.

Yes, I noticed that (after I had written the above).  I only did it for "fun", likewise the Amiga (ARexx script) link I gave is just a form which calls the "guru" program (from identify.library) and outputs the result over the web.  I quite enjoy writing crazed ARexx scripts that don't do much for a webserver nobody accesses. :-)
