This blog site is under development, need help with the ticker javascript (plugin), bottom right col (and the mockup adsense unit).
It is meant to rotate through 3 news items in the ticker (where are there in the code, if you inspect element on the ticker with firebug) then start again, but it gets to the the 2nd item (1 transition) and always crashes. My firefox isn’t reporting any warnings/errors.
Any javascript gurus that can help with this?
Many thanks
Does it crash when you don’t involve firebug? In any case, a browsers crash is pretty severe, and unlikely to be something you need to “fix” via javascript changes.
Ahh sorry then crash is the wrong term, the script (seems to) stops prematurely - not the browser/system crashes.
I forgot to mention the link:

It isn’t actually crashing so there must be something in the code that means it only does the one transition.
There does appear to be two different jquery libraries being included in the page - perhaps that is related to the cause.
Ehhh, I see what you mean. It isn’t actually completing a full transition, just 2/3.
No idea why there is the double include. I’m a wordpress newborn.
In the header.php file I don’t see any of these includes 
I have de-activated a bunch of plugins (except for the ticker) which I think has done away with the 2nd include of jQuery, yet the problem still persists.
Anybody? I can’t work this thing out.
Still no luck with this, I can’t see any JS errors that would break it.
Spent the past hour going over the code (yet again) with my limited JS skills and haven’t seen any reason why it would stop short.
It seems that the timeout and sync settings for the cycle are conflicting in some way.
Remove the timeout setting, or remove the sync setting, and it carries on nicely.
Thanks, changing the timeout to 10seconds seemed to have worked. Weird.
