I am attempting to create an infinite marquee and I have gotten upto this point http://jsfiddle.net/zrW5q/2737/
Firstly; how do I make the text marquee begin on the left side of the browser not the right?
Secondly; How do I stop there being gaps on screen? currently the marquee resets at the end of the h1 text but I want the start of the h1 text to come in from the right as soon as it goes off screen on the left
Finally; How do I keep the text that is hidden from appearing on hover? The text stops on hover but I want the hidden text to stay hidden, currently the hidden text is appearing on hover
JS
(function($) {
$.fn.textWidth = function(){
var calc = '<span style="display:none">' + $(this).text() + '</span>';
$('body').append(calc);
var width = $('body').find('span:last').width();
$('body').find('span:last').remove();
return width;
};
$.fn.marquee = function(args) {
var that = $(this);
var textWidth = that.textWidth(),
offset = that.width(),
width = offset,
css = {
'text-indent' : that.css('text-indent'),
'overflow' : that.css('overflow'),
'white-space' : that.css('white-space')
},
marqueeCss = {
'text-indent' : width,
'overflow' : 'hidden',
'white-space' : 'nowrap'
},
args = $.extend(true, { count: -1, speed: 1e1, leftToRight:
false }, args),
i = 0,
stop = textWidth*-1,
dfd = $.Deferred();
function go() {
if(that.css('overflow')!="hidden") {
that.css('text-indent', width + 'px');
return false;
}
if(!that.length) return dfd.reject();
if(width == stop) {
i++;
if(i == args.count) {
that.css(css);
return dfd.resolve();
}
if(args.leftToRight) {
width = textWidth*-1;
} else {
width = offset;
}
}
that.css('text-indent', width + 'px');
if(args.leftToRight) {
width++;
} else {
width--;
}
setTimeout(go, args.speed);
};
if(args.leftToRight) {
width = textWidth*-1;
width++;
stop = offset;
} else {
width--;
}
that.css(marqueeCss);
go();
return dfd.promise();
};
// $('h1').marquee();
$("h1").marquee();
$("h1").mouseover(function () {
$(this).removeAttr("style");
}).mouseout(function () {
$(this).marquee();
});
})(jQuery);
Any help would be much appreciated, thank you for your time
