Set list and list items height

Hi,

I think a little improvement should be adding an height option. So you could assign the same heigth for UL and LI items. In some circumstances could be useful. And the default value "auto" works as before.

var defaults = {
speed:4000,
effect:'fade',
height:'auto',
run_once:false,
random:false
};

...
obj.height(options.height);
list.height(options.height);

List Ticker Speed

Just testing your list ticker and I can't seem to slow the ticker speed down.

Here's the code I am using.

/* List Ticker by Alex Fish
// www.alexefish.com
//
// options:
//
// effect: fade/slide
// speed: milliseconds
*/

(function($){
$.fn.list_ticker = function(options){

var defaults = {
  speed:8000,
  effect:'fade'
};

var options = $.extend(defaults, options);

return this.each(function(){

  var obj = $(this);
  var list = obj.children();
  list.not(':first').hide();

  setInterval(function(){

    list = obj.children();
    list.not(':first').hide();

    var first_li = list.eq(0)
    var second_li = list.eq(1)

    if(options.effect == 'slide'){
        first_li.slideUp();
        second_li.slideDown(function(){
            first_li.remove().appendTo(obj);
        });
    } else if(options.effect == 'fade'){
        first_li.fadeOut(function(){
            second_li.fadeIn();
            first_li.remove().appendTo(obj);
        });
    }
  }, options.speed)
});

};
})(jQuery);
