[jQuery] basic news ticker

[Ettiene]

Hi there,

I'm trying to write a news ticker script that horizontally slides 1
item from right to left in a box. Most news ticker scripts use
multiple items for this, but my needs are somewhat different.

Well I've kinda got it working, except for when I hover over it. Then
when the cursor goes away, the speed's been affected as well as the
item stops ticking by. Here is my code:


                $(document).ready(function() {
                        function scroller() {
                                $('#newsticker ul li').animate(
                                        {left: "-200px"},
                                        2000,
                                        "linear",
                                        function(){
                                                $(this).css("left", "200px");
                                                scroller();
                                        }
                                )
                                .hover(
                                function(){
                                        jQuery(this).stop()
                                },
                                function(){
                                        $(this).css("left", 200 - 
$(this).position().left);
                                        scroller();
                                });
                        };
                        scroller();
                });
