    Ok I am looking for something for my website I have no idea what it would be called or how to do it so I dont know even where to post it and feel this is the best place.

    I would like a counter on my website that my readers can enter a number then it updates the main number.

    IE the main number was 500 and they enterd in 12 then it turns to 512 on its own. Kind of like they have in fundraiser websites. If you know what this is called or how i get it please let me know.

    No. See my website that i am making allows indiv. to go on the site and input how much they are owed for something...so I want them to bwe able to click on the counter then take them to a screen that allows them to put in the dollar value that they are owed...then it updates the main page counter...

    Example

    Year to date owed: $XX,XXX.XX and it constantly changes as people enter their own numbers.

    Does that make any sense?

    You could do it fairly simply with php and mysql. Store the current value in the mysql database, when someone enters their new value, the form sends the value to a php file which gets the current value from the DB, adds on the new value, and writes it back into the DB (probably also want to check they haven't added a crazy value)
