Question

I want to implement javascript flip counter. I included all needed files and added code as in this article – http://cnanney.com/journal/code/apple-style-counter-revisited/#demo.

I added html in my page:

<div id="counter" class="flip-counter"></div>

and added javscript to my application.js:

  var myCounter = new flipCounter("counter", {inc: 23, pace: 500});

here is my included files(js and css):

      <link href="/assets/application.css?body=1" media="all" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
      <link href="/assets/counter.css?body=1" media="all" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />

      <link href="/assets/jquery-ui-1.8.22.custom.css?body=1" media="all" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
      <script src="/assets/jquery.js?body=1" type="text/javascript"></script>
      <script src="/assets/jquery-ui.js?body=1" type="text/javascript"></script>
      <script src="/assets/jquery_ujs.js?body=1" type="text/javascript"></script>
      <script src="/assets/jquery-flipcounter.js?body=1" type="text/javascript"></script>
      <script src="/assets/jquery-ui-1.8.22.custom.min.js?body=1" type="text/javascript"> </script>
      <script src="/assets/application.js?body=1" type="text/javascript"></script>

I will also write here what files demo page is including:

     <!-- My flip counter script, REQUIRED -->
<script type="text/javascript" src="js/flipcounter.js"></script>
<!-- Style sheet for the counter, REQUIRED -->
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css/counter.css" />
<!-- NOT REQUIRED FOR COUNTER TO FUNCTION, JUST FOR DEMO PURPOSES -->
<!-- jQuery from Google CDN, NOT REQUIRED for the counter itself -->
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.5/jquery.min.js"></script>
<!-- jQueryUI from Google CDN, used only for the fancy demo controls, NOT REQUIRED for the counter itself -->
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jqueryui/1.8.6/jquery-ui.min.js"></script>
<!-- Style sheet for the jQueryUI controls, NOT REQUIRED for the counter itself -->
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jqueryui/1.8.6/themes/vader/jquery-ui.css" />
<!-- Style sheet for the demo page, NOT REQUIRED for the counter itself -->
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css/demo.css" />

add this to your application.js

$(function(){
    var myCounter = new flipCounter("counter", {inc: 23, pace: 500});
});
