jQuery Cycle plugin (or another one as well) for showing more than one item at a time

Question

I would like to have a slide like the one at the home page of Twitter. This means, to have many posts showing at the same time, and sliding them with a certain interval.

I've checked out the Cycle plugin of jQuery and I've seen that I could accomplish something like that using the scrollDown effect, but the only problem is that one image at a time is being displayed.

Is there any way for showing more than one at a time? Or at least, using another plugin as well.

Answer 1

Try jCarousel or another carousel plugin.

Answer 2

Group several images together. The cycle plugin can cycle anything, not just images.

<ul id="the-element-to-cycle">
    <li>
        <img src="..." />
        <img src="..." />
        <img src="..." />
    </li>
    <li>
        <img src="..." />
        <img src="..." />
        <img src="..." />
    </li>
    <li>
        <p>text only on this one</p>
    </li>
</ul>

How are you grabbing your new posts?

I'd suggest you look at http://twitterfall.com/ they are simply animating a new post at the top of the list and having it push the other down.
