Question

I’m looking for a jquery plugin to simulate a vertical marquee. I need it to support:

1. Scroll any opaque (unstructured) content. No li, no div. The user can even paste from Word.
2. Automatic constant scroll velocity.
3. Pause on hover.
4. Circular scroll – after scrolling to end, continue smoothly from the beginning. No scroll back, no visible jump.

I tried all the tickers, serialScroll, carousels, etc… Most require some structure, list, constant width/height items. Also they scroll by full items (scroll, wait, scroll).
But the biggest blocker is requirement 4. None provide “fake” tail to smoothly restart scrolling.

Have I missed something, or I’ll have to write this by myself?
