I'm having trouble with my jQuery counting function when using the scroll feature on a specific div ID. The numbers freeze if I keep scrolling before they finish updating on the screen.
Whenever I scroll to the defined div ID, the counting function kicks in. However, if I scroll again, it freezes the numbers and only continues counting once I stop scrolling.
Is there a way to scroll to a certain div and activate the counter function without it stopping during further scrolling?
//Counter
$(window).scroll(function () {
var a = 0;
var oTop = $('#stats').offset().top - window.innerHeight;
if (a == 0 && $(window).scrollTop() > oTop) {
$('.number').each(function() {
var $this = $(this),
countTo = $this.attr('data-count');
$({
countNum: $this.text()
}).animate({
countNum: countTo
},
{
duration: 2000,
easing: 'swing',
step: function() {
$this.text(Math.floor(this.countNum));
},
complete: function() {
$this.text(this.countNum);
}
});
});
a = 1;
}
