hi all jquery newbie here,
Another great idea that I think would receive some attention is if
somebody could code up something like this:

Tyler,
Here's an initial crack at mimicking the effect seen on
http://www.presidentielles.net/, using the Accordian Plugin and
setInterval.
Check out http://pastebin.ca/373454 for the code.
I've used Joern's awesome Accordian plugin here, so first things first,
go visit http://bassistance.de/jquery-plugins/jquery-plugin-accordion/
and snag a copy. Done? Okay, moving on.
First I construct a very basic DL block, using DT's for headers and DD's
for content. .accordian() uses this HTML setup as its default layout,
so I just used that to start with.
Next, I call the .accoridan() function, using the default settings.
Then I bind an onChange event to the DL, meaning whenever something
within the DL changes, this function will be called. Within the
function I'm assigning a value to the nextTab attribute I've attached to
the #list1 element. The function gets the number of DD's within the DL
(our header element), and grabs the index of the currently selected DD.
It adds 1 to the currTab, and then checks if this number is greater then
the DD length. If so, it makes nextTab = 0. Then it assigns this value
to the nextTab attribute.
Finally, a setInterval call is scheduled to check the value of the
nextTab attribute and .activate() the tab accordingly.
I also clearInterval the current timer and create a new one each time
the DL changes, so when a user clicks on a new header the timer is
reset.
I was unable to mimic the functionality of
http://www.presidentielles.net/ where the click removes the timer
entirely because I was unable to attach a second click event to the
header. I'm sure there is a way to do it I just didn't spend much time
investigating it.
This code should give you a hint on what to do next, at the least. It
could prolly be refined a bit as well. Also, I didn't mess with any of
the styles, and left that to you to figure out. Hope it helps.
