Simple countdown with plain text?

[mpbiz]

I have a headline on my LP that says "Now Accepting 7 New Members"

All I need is for the 7 to change to 6, then 5, 4, etc. to create a sense of urgency. This is literally just a plain text sentence on an html page.

Any help is greatly appreciated because all I can find when searching are overcomplicated scripts that I don't need.

you can do something like:

setInterval(function(){
$('.countdown-number').fadeOut(fast).html(old_number -= 1).fadeIn(fast);
}, 5000)

that's with jquery of course, and I just completely made up your dom, but you get the point. That will lower the number once every 5 seconds
