Question

Sorry if subject isn’t very descriptive.

Say for example I have this:

// lets update the count
<div class='user-count'>3</div>

$('.user-count')val().text(x + 1);

so that it becomes:

<div class='user-count'>4</div>

thx

Answer 1

Fetch the current value with text(), parse the value as an integer, add one, and then set again the text():

var $userCount = $(".user-count");
$userCount.text(parseInt($userCount.text()) + 1);

DEMO.
