Marqueeing large bodies of text without blank space

Question

For an art exhibition, I'm trying to utilize a locally hosted web page to infinitely scroll information about the pieces near it.

So far I've come up with the idea of using a vertical marquee set to a slow speed so people can read it. On mouse-over, it stops, then starts when the mouse leaves the space.

(IDEALLY it would allow the user to scroll up and down, and then at input timeout it resumes marqueeing. That's prob #2 though)

Prob #1 is the Marquee waits until the last line clears the top before starting the loop again at the bottom. For a page on slow marquee repeat, that means the page is entirely clear of text for a long time until it begins to loop again.

Prob#1 How do I get a Marquee to loop immediately after the last line?

Prob#2 How do I get the text to be momentarily scrollable until an interaction timeout?

Right now I'm more concerned about #1

RESOURCES:

I've been using the basic marqueeing tool with code found here http://www.quackit.com/html/codes/stop_marquee.cfm

and I've been looking into better code available here, but it still has the same blank stretch of space before loop problem http://remysharp.com/2008/09/10/the-silky-smooth-marquee/comment-page-3/

Answer 1

Marquee cant loop, until the whole sentence or text, goes out of view. The best option is jquery scroller. You can check in this site. http://perekhid.te.ua
