I am trying to use animate() to scroll text, but find that even using very large duration numbers does not slow it down very much. It scrolls out of view too fast.

It appears that the duration values get normalized to some fixed range, so that "slow" and "fast" are the endpoints. Am I wrong? Is it possible to make animations go much slower than "slow"?

SOLUTION: I went back to the test script I was using the other night and this time it worked. I suspect that some caching was being done and I needed a browser restart in order to see the effect. Not sure. I know it didn't work before and now it does.

Thanks, everybody!
