jQuery TotemTicker issue

Question

<script type="text/javascript">
    $(function(){
      $('#vertical-ticker').totemticker({
        row_height  :   '55px',
        next        :   '#ticker-next',
        previous    :   '#ticker-previous',
        stop        :   '#stop',
        start       :   '#start',
        direction   :   'up',
        });
    });
  </script>

We have a jQuery Totem Ticker in our rails app; we want it to scroll down instead of up. the plug-in's homepage says to add the following line:

direction   :   'up'

But this doesn't work. How should it be done?

I didn't think it would, necessarily (that's why it's added to the comment, not posted as an answer), but trailing commas often cause problems in scripts. Could you post a live [JS Fiddle](http://jsfiddle.net/) demo, or similar, so we can see what you're working with? — David Thomas, Feb 18 '12 at 23:18

The download on the project page seems to be outdated: there is no mention of direction in the code. Try the github version instead, which seems to be checking for the direction setting.

To be fair in his original text he did refer to the 'GIT' page, (without a link) so I may have screwed up the edit when I amended that with the first result for 'totem ticker jquery'. – David Thomas Feb 18 '12 at 23:20
@David yeah, I saw that. I think he looked in the github page's documentation, but used the download link on the web site (which is a logical thing to do; the author should update his link.) – Pekka Feb 18 '12 at 23:21
@Pekka the github version makes no mention of `direction`, we're javascript/jQuery rookies and evidently its showing here because were stumped. – scud bomb Feb 18 '12 at 23:33
