To create a number counter in Webflow that updates to a specific value every 24 hours, you can follow these steps:

  1. Add a text element: Start by adding a text element to your Webflow project where you want the number counter to appear. You can drag and drop a text element from the Elements panel onto your page.

  2. Set initial value: Double-click on the text element to enter the text editor. Set the initial value to the starting number you want the counter to display.

  3. Add a custom attribute: In the text element settings panel, go to the "Add Field" section and click on the "Custom Attribute" button. Add a custom attribute called "data-counter" (or any name you prefer). Set the value of the custom attribute to the starting number of the counter.

  4. Add custom code: Switch to the "Custom Code" tab in the Webflow Designer. You can find this tab located on the right-hand side of the Designer interface. In the "Before tag" section, add the following code snippet:

    ```javascript

    ```

    This code uses JavaScript to get the current value of the counter, increments it by 1, and then updates both the custom attribute and the inner text of the text element.

  5. Preview and test: Click on the "Preview" button in the Webflow Designer to test the number counter. The counter should start at the initial value you set and increase by one every 24 hours.

By following these steps, you can easily create a number counter in Webflow that updates to a specific value every 24 hours.
