Here is some code that I took from something I wrote (which is currently waiting for some beta testing, anyone interested?). I tested this counter, it works fine. The only draw back is that this uses a text box (which I 'cloacked').
<input type=text size=5 name=Size value="0" style="border=0; text-align=right"><input type=button value=" -- " onClick="theSize=Size.value;theSize=theSize-10;Size.value=theSize;">
<input type=button value=" - " onClick="theSize=Size.value;theSize--;Size.value=theSize;">
<input type=button value=" + " onClick="theSize=Size.value;theSize++;Size.value=theSize;">
<input type=button value=" ++ " onClick="theSize=Size.value;for(i=1;i<=10;i++){theSize++;}Size.value=theSize;">

the number starts at 11. a click then makes the number 12, but i can't get it to go any higher than 12, hmm.

look at your source AFTER you click...
your javascript is gone, that's your problem

no...
you can look at these JS toys I've written, but they both use form elements (like the example I have above).

Have you tried my above code? you should, the textbox is invisible, and it works. Or won't it work for your specific need?

Hi fairhousing,
I'm not sure what you are attempting, nor if this is related to your other post. However, if you are willing to use a textbox, you can use the following:
<script language='javascript'>
function add(formObj, incrementVal)
{
formObj.numField.value += incrementVal;
}
</script>
;
;
Notes:
1) The blur() statement will prevent the user from changing the contents of the field.
2) The form object and increment value are passed as parameters. You can remove the parameters and hardcode everything, but it's much more reusable this way.
3) I'm leaving the conversion of text to integer to you.

add:
style="border=0; text-align=right"
and the 'box' disapears...

Hi Max,
Nice
but Netscape doesn't like 'style' commands in html tags
