Increment number in a URL

Question

I have a URL stored in a variable and would like to increment the number at the end of the image name by 1 when a user clicks,

$(document).on('click', 'a.next', function(e){
        e.preventDefault();
        var URL = "http://www-url.com/img/436x768/look1.png";

});

How could I go about this? thanks.

do you want the page to go to the new url? or just change it. — JF it, Mar 28 '14 at 10:50

do you want this number to be preserved between page refreshes? — haxxxton, Mar 28 '14 at 10:51

var counter=0 // global variable

$(document).on('click', 'a.next', function(e){
    e.preventDefault();
    counter++; // add 1 to variable
    var URL = "http://www-url.com/img/436x768/look"+counter+".png";

});
