Another solution is to return an image of the number rather than the text.
There is a script on
rebol.org that can create these number gifs on the fly. So adapt it to your
counter needs.
http://www.rebol.org/cgi/gif-number.html
http://www.rebol.org/cgi/gif-number.r
Then you can add the link to the script as a normal image tag. This would be
the most cross browser friendly method.
