what the heck?

what the heck?

Hello all,

I'm trying to add some sort of function, or combine two different thing's with jQuery.  One is a news ticker, the second is adding the <ul> <li>news item</li></ul> to pull in an RSS feed?

Here's my code below.

  1. <script type="text/javascript">
    $(document).ready(function(){
       
        var first = 0;
        var speed = 700;
        var pause = 3500;
       
            function removeFirst(){
                first = $('ul#listticker li:first').html();
                $('ul#listticker li:first')
                .animate({opacity: 0}, speed)
                .fadeOut('slow', function() {$(this).remove();});
                addLast(first);
            }
           
            function addLast(first){
                last = '<li style="display:none">'+first+'</li>';
                $('ul#listticker').append(last)
                $('ul#listticker li:last')
                .animate({opacity: 1}, speed)
                .fadeIn('slow')
            }
       
        interval = setInterval(removeFirst, pause);
    });
    </script>

























  3. <ul id="listticker">
      <li> <img src="img/1.png" /> <span class="news-text">NEWS ITEM</span> </li>
      <li> <img src="img/2.png" /> <span class="news-text">NEWS ITEM </li>
      <li> <img src="img/3.png" /> <span class="news-text">NEWS ITEM</span> </li>
      <li> <img src="img/4.png" /> <span class="news-text">NEWS ITEM</span> </li>
    </ul>
