Question

silly question, but I’ve tried with and without javascript, and I don’t seem to be able to stop the marquees by default.

Basically I want them to start moving on mousover, but to be stopped by default.

I’ve tried stuff like this:

$.each($('.tracks_marquee'),function(){$(this).stop();}); //triggered on $.ready

<marquee class="tracks_marquee"
behavior="alternate"
scrolldelay="160"
onmouseover="this.start();"
onmouseout="this.stop();"
onload="this.stop();">
  some text here
</marquee>

but nothing works

Answer 1

Try this

<marquee class="tracks_marquee" behavior="alternate" scrollamount="0"  >
  some text here
</marquee>



   $(document).ready(function()
{
$(".tracks_marquee").hover
  (
    function()
    {
       $(this).attr("scrollamount","1");
       $(this).start();  
    },
    function()
    {
       $(this).attr("scrollamount","0");
       $(this).stop();
    }
  )
})
