title: Ticker problems, wont load in motion, just displays all text. jquery ajax
body: <p>i am after making an news ticker and its the first time ive come across this website. </p>
  
  <p><a href="http://www.jquerynewsticker.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.jquerynewsticker.com/</a></p>
  
  <p>and ive got the code all set up as this </p>
  
  <pre><code> &lt;div class="news_ticker"&gt;&lt;link href="LPMS\production_scn\jquery_news_ticker\styles\ticker-style.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" /&gt;
                      &lt;script src="LPMS\production_scn\jquery_news_ticker\includes\jquery.ticker.js" type="text/javascript"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;
                &lt;ul id="js-news" class="js-hidden"&gt;
                  &lt;li class="news-item"&gt;&lt;a href="#"&gt;This is the 1st latest news item.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
                  &lt;li class="news-item"&gt;&lt;a href="#"&gt;This is the 2nd latest news item.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
                  &lt;li class="news-item"&gt;&lt;a href="#"&gt;This is the 3rd latest news item.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
                  &lt;li class="news-item"&gt;&lt;a href="#"&gt;This is the 4th latest news item.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
                  &lt;/ul&gt;
  
  
              &lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt;
              $(function () {
              $('#js-news').ticker();
              });
              &lt;/script&gt;
  
  
                 &lt;/div&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>im assuming it all goes in the 1 div? it simple lists latest items news instead of scrolling or anything, its almost as if its not picking up the jquery but i have rooted it to find the source, can anyone shed any light on this for me?</p>
  
  <p><em>EDIT/UPDATE</em></p>
  
  <p>with thanks to Java_User i have managed to get it to somewhat work, now my issues is it wont display what i ask it to output, it only shows a line even when i change the text /input.</p>
  
  <p>my code now is.. this is in the head</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;link href="/LPMS/production_scn/jquery_news_ticker/styles/ticker-style.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" /&gt;
  &lt;script src="/LPMS/production_scn/jquery_news_ticker/includes/jquery.ticker.js" type="text/javascript"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;
  &lt;/head&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>this is at the bottom of the page ( the rest of the page is empty to avoid any conflictions for now!)</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;div class="clear_line"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
   &lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt;
      $(function () {
          $('#js-news').ticker();
      });
  &lt;/script&gt;
  
  &lt;!-- News Feed ticker  - use jquery to scroll ticker!! --&gt;
  &lt;div class="news_feed"&gt;
      &lt;img src="/LPMS/images/news/breaking_news.png" style="border-style:none;"&gt;
     &lt;div class="news_ticker"&gt;&lt;ul id="js-news" class="js-hidden"&gt;
      &lt;li class="news-item"&gt;&lt;a href="#"&gt;This is the 1st latest news item.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
      &lt;li class="news-item"&gt;&lt;a href="#"&gt;This is the 2nd latest news item.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
      &lt;li class="news-item"&gt;&lt;a href="#"&gt;This is the 3rd latest news item.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
      &lt;li class="news-item"&gt;&lt;a href="#"&gt;This is the 4th latest news item.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
      &lt;/ul&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  
  
  &lt;/div&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>any ideas why it displays just an underscore _ like that? its doing my head in!</p>
  
  <p>thanks</p>
