If you want a chance to play around with all the cool AJAX API's that google is offering to webmasters, try the AJAX API Playground. I've managed to get lost there for hours at a time 
play with code and see live examples from:
Language API, Blogger API, Calendar API, Earth API, Feeds API, Javascript API, Libraries API, Maps API, Search API,Visualization API, YouTube API |

You can also play with some of their projects in development at google labs, some are webmaster related and some are just to play with...
new image search
google squared (new way to search)
and even some things that aren't in the lab yet

I like the playground area, mess around to your hearts content !
I made a block a few months ago using the API code
Its okay It could be a lot better say with an admin side with different functions, but that's another idea  |

How about a universal scrolling API added to the distro. It could be used anywhere, especially on the home page to control the size of the news content blocks, messages, etc. Kinda like the colorbox, use it if you need it or when you have a news story that is extra large and don't want to send the reader to another page. Or if you are putting together a message that is going to be large. |

papamike, as a developer, I would love to see RN make available a set of core APIs for various things (e.g., user/group authentication and permissions) with core UI components being one of them. I think "colorbox" is an excellent example.
With HTML5, one can even create/use new "data-*" attributes (perfectly compliant) to even pass configuration options for the desired "slider" characteristics for the given desired implementation. Very powerful stuff. Many potential uses. |

Funny you should mention this now, as kguske recently mentioned autoscroll and I was quite impressed.
Was planning on pitching it to the RN team as a marquee replacement. Even came up with a sprite based navigation for it, complete with mouseover/toggle functionality. While this is under construction and still has remnants of the demo code in it (don't use it as a basis for anything) I suppose no harm in a little preview. Be sure to play with the nav buttons below the scroller
still need to figure out how to make it loop..... |

Could this be applied to messages and news stories blocks? Or would another API be needed? |

hey spasticdonkey!
i have tried to put this in a RN module but after the 1st scroll, it will be stop the scrolling. in your demonstration give it in fox & chrome the same failure after few minutes of scrolling.
i have tested the last 2 week many jquery scroller but i must say, the marquee replacement ist not the best solution. do you have only one scroller, then it is okay but do you want use more as one of this marquee, you become probs with the 2nd scroller. if the 1st sroller at the end of his lines but the 2nd scroller is scrolling, then restart the 2nd scroller with the restart of the first scrolling.
the most jquery scroller realize the scrolling with one id of a marquee. but if you want realize much more then one scrolling fields, you need a different id controlling in the same js-script. thats is the problem.
i found my solution here:
this one don't have a smooth scrolling...but its the best way, what i found.

I haven't fully had time to work with autoscroll yet, but I don't believe it has a bulit-in looping per-say. You have to use some additional jquery to loop the content a set number of times. For testing I had it set low.
| Code: | var t = $("#DemoFieldx div").html();
for (var i = 0; i < 2; ++i) {
$("#DemoFieldx div").append(t);
} |
what this does is grabs the html inside "#DemoFieldx div" and appends another two copies of it. so the content would loop 3 times. If you need it to loop more adjust the loop statement. i placed this inside the function that launches the scroller (before). also, if you are horizontal scrolling there are some tricks to looping you can see in the source of my demo.
| Code: | <div id="DemoFieldy">
<div style="width: 7000px;"><img src="cologne.jpg"/></div>
</div> |
looping this 3500px wide image twice horizontally, so the inner container has to be wide enough, even though the parent container is much smaller....
You can also script "on edge events" but haven't tried that functionality yet. In theory you could script your own looping mechanism, animated transition, etc.
I am familiar with the script you mentioned, and liked it aside from the choppy animation. I thought his first version of the script was better, as it was written as a jquery plugin instead of the stand-alone jscroller2, and has better animation.
