Not Working

I now want to run the script several times on the page for each matching class.

Below is what I am trying but with no success so far:

HTML

<span class="Count">200</span>
<span class="Count">55</span>

JQUERY

$('.Count').each(function () {
  jQuery({ Counter: 0 }).animate({ Counter: $(this).text() }, {
    duration: 1000,
    easing: 'swing',
    step: function () {
      $(this).text(Math.ceil(this.Counter));
    }
  });
});

Answer 1

Your thisdoesn't refer to the element in the step callback, instead you want to keep a reference to it at the beginning of your function (wrapped in $thisin my example):

$('.Count').each(function () {
  var $this = $(this);
  jQuery({ Counter: 0 }).animate({ Counter: $this.text() }, {
    duration: 1000,
    easing: 'swing',
    step: function () {
      $this.text(Math.ceil(this.Counter));
    }
  });
});

Update: If you want to display decimal numbers, then instead of rounding the value with Math.ceil you can round up to 2 decimals for instance with value.toFixed(2):

step: function () {
  $this.text(this.Counter.toFixed(2));
}
