Twitter Tweet Button does not count

Question

I am using the official Tweet Button from Twitter to allow users to share my site.

The button itself is working just fine, however the counter doesn\'t work and stays at

Answer 1

I had luck switching from the URL parameter method to the data- attributes method.

function twtrButton(url, text, configs){
    // Create a link
    var params = {
        rel: 'canonical',
        'data-count': 'horizontal',
        href: 'http://twitter.com/share/'
    };
    if (url) {
        params['data-url'] = url;
        params['data-counturl'] = url;
    }
    if (text) {
        if(text.length > 90){
            text = text.substring(0, 90);
            text += '...';
        }
        params['data-text'] = text;
    }
    if (configs) {
        if (configs.via) {
            params['data-via'] = configs.via;
        }
        if (configs.related) {
            params['data-related'] = configs.related;
        }
    }
    var link = $('<a>', params).addClass('twitter-share-button');
    return link;
}

This snippet assumes jQuery 1.5 or greater.
