Note: When the mouse is over the automatic sliding area (id=”idScrollable”), automatic scrolling will stop. When the mouse is out, automatic scrolling will start.

<div id="idWrap">

<div id="idScrollable" class="clSum" onmouseover="$(&quot;#idScrollable&quot;).smoothDivScroll(&quot;stopAutoScroll&quot;);" onmouseout="$(&quot;#idScrollable&quot;).smoothDivScroll(&quot;startAutoScroll&quot;);">

<div class="scrollWrapper">

<div class="scrollableArea">
    <img src="i1.jpg" width="300" alt="">
    <img src="i2.jpg" width="300" alt="">
    <img src="i3.jpg" width="300" alt="">
    <img src="i4.jpg" width="300" alt="">
    <img src="i5.jpg" width="300" alt="">
