Question

Working

jQuery

Answer 1

What the code does, is that the number 8000 is counting up from 0 to 8000. The problem is, that it is placed at the middle of quite long page, and once user scroll down and actually see the number, the animation is already dine. I would like to trigger the counter, once it appears in the viewport.

JS:

$('.count').each(function () {
                $(this).prop('Counter',0).animate({
                        Counter: $(this).text()
                }, {
                        duration: 4000,
                        easing: 'swing',
                        step: function (now) {
                                $(this).text(Math.ceil(now));
                        }
                });
            });

And HTML:

 8000
