You can use clearInterval from within the update function to step the process when the time is right.
You may also want to use the correct spelling for ceiling.
This code counts from 0 to totalUsers-1 as does your original code.
If you want it to instead count from 1 to totalUsers, move the if condition block to the start of the function.
function _initCountUpUsers()
{
var totalUsers, ceiling, floot, update;
totalUsers = $('#totalUsers');
ceiling = parseInt(totalUsers.html());
floor = ceiling - 10;
function updateTotalUsers()
{
totalUsers.html(floor);
floor++;
if (floor === ceiling) {
clearInterval(update);
}
}
update = window.setInterval(updateTotalUsers, 1000, floor);
}
This js will take a value, subtract X amount from it, and then count up to that value. It seems like I should be able to do this with a simple While loop, but I haven't been able to get it to work.
This is the only way it will work.
