You can email it but I'm in the middle of doing something else at the moment and will try to get to it in a couple of days. If it's not something simple, I'll let you know and if you want me to fix, we can discuss options offline.

What you are attempting to do is plain javascript. I suspect that some of your logic elsewhere may be updating that label to a non-numeric value which, when it does, you lose the value of your counter.


What happens if you change ?
from:
counter++
to:
counter = 1 + counter;

How about storing counter into its own field name in the widget w instead of using w.label?

You have to remember that widgets are javascript objects too. That is, you can add your own fields to them with a few side-effects. All you have to worry about is that your fields are persisted across multiple calls to CF.widget() or GUI.widget().

var w = CF.widget('blah');
w.myCounter = 0;
w.label = w.myCounter;

Now, label can operate independently from the field myCounter...
