A little tips to get started

[angelazou]

I'm trying out vTicker, to replace the original MooTools file, however, I'm not getting anything. So the following is what I have wrote in the sidebar section.

Code:

<h2>News and Events</h2>

<script type="text/javascript" src="<?php get_theme_url(); ?>/assets/js/jquery.vticker-min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="<?php get_theme_url(); ?>/assets/js/jquery-1.6.1.min.js"></script>
<div id="scroller">
<ul>
<li>Some Sample Text</li>
<li>Some Sample Text</li>
<li>Some Sample Text</li>
</ul>
</div>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(function(){
    $('#scroller').vTicker({
        speed: 500,
        pause: 6000,
        animation: 'fade',
        mousePause: true,
        showItems: 1
    });
});
</script>
