title: jQuery News Ticker - not quite smooth enough
body: <p>Hey, I have a nice news ticker that stops on <code>mouseover</code> etc... but the animation is slightly jerky - any ideas?</p>
  
  <pre><code>var ticker_holder = $('#ticker').get(0);
              var ticker_text = $('#ticker').get(0);
              var ticker_pos = ticker_text.parentNode.offsetWidth;
  
              var ticker_data = "&lt;strong&gt;Featured: &lt;/strong&gt;"
              +"HardCoded, DamnCool, AliveKicking, NinjaGaiden, WikiWord, FeaturedWords...";
              $(ticker_text).html('&lt;marquee scrollamount="1" scrolldelay="20"&gt;' + ticker_data + '&lt;/marquee&gt;');
  
              $('#ticker').hover(
                  function() { $('marquee', this).get(0).stop();  },
                  function() { $('marquee', this).get(0).start(); }
              );
  </code></pre>
