News Ticker / Headline Scroll

    Hey Guys,

    I have a home page with 4 different sections. Within each section is a listing (UL) of the latest 3 post title from a specific icategory (each section uses a different category).

    My goal: Display only one post title under each section, but have it animate to the next post title in a news ticker like fashion.

    Similar to the script on this page: http://www.gcmingati.net/wordpress/wp-content/lab/jquery/newsticker/jq-liscroll/scrollanimate.html

    (which i cannot get to work for some reason)

    I have tried various plugins also, but none of them allow for multiple instances of the function on a page.

    Any help would be appreciated. - Thanks - Scott :)

    You might can use this:
    http://malsup.com/jquery/cycle/int2.html

    Notice the example that auto changes (The image autochanges)

    You can replicate this except build a custom div.

    You might have to loose the ul li listing though.

    Just to follow-up. I couldn't use a Jquery solution becasue it was causing the Featured Content Gallery plugin to fail (pretty common issue). What I found was a ajax solution over at DynamicDrive.com that worked out great. Here's the link if you are interested: http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex17/rsstickerajax/index.htm

    HTH - Scott
