title: IE error with jquery counter plugin
body: <p>I've implemented a jquery counter script (count up from say 50 to 100 with different increments) that I found from this question:
  <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2540277/jquery-counter-to-count-up-to-a-target-number/2540360#2540360">jQuery counter to count up to a target number</a></p>
  
  <p>The scripts works great except for in Internet Explorer 8 (and possibly other IE versions?).</p>
  
  <p>Here's an error message from IE with the URL to the creator of the script's demo.</p>
  
  <pre><code>Message: 'undefined' is null or not an object
  Line: 32
  Char: 17
  Code: 0
  URI: http://www.ulmanen.fi/stuff/counter.php
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I'm just wondering if anyone know how this can be fixed. I'm guessing it has to do with el.html() not finding any data but I can't really figure this out.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks for any help ^^</p>
  
  <p>I would reply to that post if I could but I can't seem to find any way of doing so (I'm new to stackoverflow, I think I lack privileges).</p>
