jquery

Version 2.x of my jQuery news ticker plug-in requires jQuery 1.4.x. (The plugin site lists it as 1.3 compatible because it still doesn’t let me mark it as 1.4!)

I’ve been writing a few updates for my BBC style news ticker plugin, in order to add some accessibility features as well as working around an issue where in some browsers, links where the link text is being modified can’t easily be clicked.

Wanting to create a news ticker along the lines of that used on the BBC news site, I took a look around for a handy plugin to do it, but with no success. So… I created my own, as a jQuery plugin. A quick sample of how to use it follows, or you can see the news ticker in action.
