Check that your spelling of the attribute is correct, note the typo in the example. Also, if you want to be extra-careful (just had to deal with this yesterday) you can go all belt-and-suspenders on it: parseInt( 0 + counter.data('maximum-length') ) The leading 0 + won't change the value, but it will force JavaScript to cast an empty string to zero, so you don't get NaN (not a number), which may actually be true, depending on how the parser does with the data-attribute.
