Automatic scrollable live ticker (e.g., Twitter’s "Best Tweets")

Question

Is there a good Javascript library for creating auto-scrolling lists such as "Top Tweets" on the Twitter homepage? Preferred jQuery plugin. It must also support AJAX functionality (to dynamically add new list items).

Answer 1

Since we were not satisfied with existing solutions, we implemented them from scratch. Our solution is a plugin fully compatible with jQuery UI-compatible ticker (also compatible with their framework) and fully tested. We still did not have time to check it in every browser, so feedback is welcome (for problems, please open the problems on the Github project website below).

A specially designed demo (e.g. Twitter) is here . The main main repository can be found here (ticker branch) . There are several options for setting a ticker (documentation in the aforementioned Github repository).

Answer 4

This is the best solution I could find: Scroll List

Answer 5

If you want to write your own, make the div fixed width / height using overflow: hidden , and then create another div with the position: relative property, filled with content from your channel (messages on twitter or similar, etc. ) Then, when the page loads, just change the internal div top: CSS value (if you want the list to scroll up, the top value should decrease from zero).

I doubt this helps, but it is a pretty good and easy way to get scroll without using the jQuery plugin.
