I've made very simple function for marquee. See: http://jsfiddle.net/vivekw/pHNpk/2/ It pauses on mouseover & resumes on mouseleave. Speed can be varied. Easy to understand.
function marquee(a, b) {
var width = b.width();
var start_pos = a.width();
var end_pos = -width;
function scroll() {
if (b.position().left <= -width) {
b.css('left', start_pos);
scroll();
}
else {
time = (parseInt(b.position().left, 10) - end_pos) *
(10000 / (start_pos - end_pos)); // Increase or decrease speed by changing value 10000
b.animate({
'left': -width
}, time, 'linear', function() {
scroll();
});
}
}
b.css({
'width': width,
'left': start_pos
});
scroll(a, b);
b.mouseenter(function() { // Remove these lines
b.stop(); //
b.clearQueue(); // if you don't want
}); //
b.mouseleave(function() { // marquee to pause
scroll(a, b); //
}); // on mouse over
}
$(document).ready(function() {
marquee($('#display'), $('#text')); //Enter name of container element & marquee element
});
