[ydn-javascript] Vertical Scrolling

Hi Folks,
I'm trying to use YUI implement a vertical news scroller, something like th=
is one:
http://www.news-scroller.com/
I found a good example of a horizontal scroller at http://www.lutsr.nl/yui/=
newsticker/ and I've been trying to change this to work vertically, but I d=
on't know enough about the YUI animation classes at this stage to do it.
I've been able to get it *almost* working in Firefox (except there seems to=
be a 1px "adjustment" every time it moves). But it's no good in IE8.
My code is here:
http://www.abm.id.au/temp/newsticker.html
I'd also like to get the list items to wrap too when they are too wide for =
the box, but not sure how to do that either...
Any advice / suggestions on how to get this working would be greatly apprec=
iated.
Many thanks,
Andrew.

To reply to my own message I have progressed with the vertical scrolling a =
bit, but now I'm running into some other issues.
At this URL is where I am at now:
http://www.abm.id.au/temp/circular-scrolling.html
Basically I was trying to test how the scrolling would work in a simple tes=
t cache. I want it to vertical scroll every time you click the button, and=
then after it hits the bottom return to the top on the subsequent button p=
ress.=20=20
Anyway the problem I have is that the scroll animation does not happening o=
n every button press, and I cannot figure out why. The logging seems to su=
ggest that the method is being called but no scrolling happens.
If anyone has any suggestions as to what I've done wrong I'd be very apprec=
iative.
Many thanks,
Andrew.

After a bit more testing I can replicate the issue if I click the button a =
few times before it's finished the previous scroll.=20=20
It's possible when I initially saw the problem that I pressed the button a =
couple of times in succession.=20=20
Should I perhaps disable the button until the current animation is complete=
d?=20=20
