Question

I am trying to animate a say $233 to $250 or decreasing from 250 to 233 ,i dont want to replace 233 by 250 instead i want a counter kind of effect and at the time of scrolling

Answer 1

Untested - but should work along these lines

create the HTML like this:

earn $233 without working hard

and jQuery like this:

function increment(){
    $('#counter').text(parseFloat($('#counter').text())+1)
    if(parseFloat($('#counter').text()) < 250){ setTimeout(increment,100) }
}
increment()
