An automatically scrolling list (like the "Top Tweets" of Twitter)

Question

Is there a good Javascript library for generating an automatically scrolling list like the "Top Tweets" on the Twitter homepage? Preferable as jQuery plugin. It should also support AJAX functionality (to add new list items dynamically).

That is the best solution I was able to find: Scrolling List

Answer 3

If you want to write your own, make a div of fixed width/height, with overflow: hidden, then create another div inside it, with the position: relative property, filled with content from your feed (twitter posts, or similar, etc). Then, when the page loads just make the inner div's top: CSS value change (if you want the list to scroll up, the top value should decrement from zero).

I doubt this helps, but it is quite a good, simple way to get a scrolling without using a jQuery plugin.
