JavaScript for Automatically Sliding Text and Images Horizontally Using crawler.js

Load the crawler.js file and use marqueeInit() to set the style and options for the slide area. I’ve prepared a sliding text area (id=”idTxtslide”) and a thumbnail image area (id=”idImgslide”).

<script type="text/javascript" src="crawler.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
//Slide settings for text (#idTxtslide)
marqueeInit({
	uniqueid: 'idTxtslide',
	style: {
		'padding': '5px',
		'margin': '0px auto',
		'width': '500px',
		'background': 'lightyellow',
		'border': '1px solid #cccccc'
	},
	inc: 5, //speed - pixel increment for each iteration of this marquee's movement
	mouse: 'cursor driven', //mouseover behavior ('pause' 'cursor driven' or false)
	moveatleast: 2,
	neutral: 150,
	persist: true,
	savedirection: true
});
//Slide settings for images (#idImgslide)
marqueeInit({
	uniqueid: 'idImgslide',
	style: {
		'padding': '50px 0 0 0',
		'margin': '0px auto',
		'width': '260px',
		'height': '50px'
	},
	inc: 0, //speed - pixel increment for each iteration of this marquee's movement
	mouse: 'cursor driven', //mouseover behavior ('pause' 'cursor driven' or false)
	moveatleast: 2,
	neutral: 150,
	savedirection: false,
	random: false
});
</script>

You can set options for speed, mouseover behavior, and more.
