Question

I am using the following click function for a purpose. What can I add so it will add 1 in a txt file when it is clicked? Like a counter on how many times it was clicked.

Thank you

$("#clearme").click(function(e) {
    e.preventDefault();
    // i have some stuff here
});

You can’t access or edit files from the front-end. You’ll need PHP or something. You can save it in a variable and pass it and process it with ajax. Something like this, untested:

var num = 0;
$button.click(function(){
    $.ajax({
        url: 'bla.php',
        type: 'POST',
        data: { num: ++num }
        //...
    });
});

And in PHP:

$num = $_POST['num'];
// Add to file stuff
