Bootstrap news ticker / slider with jQuery: 3 demos

The Bootstrap news ticker by using jQuery

In this article, I am going to share a nice jQuery plug-in for running news ticker vertically in your web pages. The plug-in is implemented on Bootstrap 3 framework.

The news ticker is auto play as well as supports up/down manual movement. You may scroll any content in up and down direction including text, images etc.

In this demo, the news ticker moves automatically towards down direction. You may set the number of news items at a time, auto play, whether news item should pause on mouse over or not, direction and interval for moving to next items by using the options in the jQuery code:

You can see, three items are displayed as the demo page loaded. The news ticker will pause as you bring the mouse over any news item.

In real time website, you may want to use the bigger interval than 1500 milliseconds. I have used it for demo purpose for showing how it works.
