Need help with Jquery stuff

Hey guys, here is what I have :

These tweets are pulled from the twitter api and everything work well, what I want to do, is to make it so I only have 1 visible and then it cycle trough all of the tweets (slide down) and go back to the first one and then continue the cycle.

How would you guys do it?

Thanks!

var current = 0,
 timebetween = 5000, 
count = $('.tweet_list li').length,
interval = setInterval(function(){

  setCurrentActiveAndHideLast(current);

  (count>=current)?current++:current=0;
},timebetween);

Is it supposed to hide the other tweets?

Nothing happened.

hehe, you have to make a setCurrentActiveAndHideLast function

Here the whole script (untested)

var current = 0, //start at 0 (first)
    last, // define for the last
    timebetween = 5000, //time between
    tweets = $('.tweet_list li'), //jquery object with all tweets
    count = tweets.length, //tweet count

//intervall
interval = setInterval(function(){

    //call action
    setCurrentActiveAndHideLast(current);
    //action is called set the last to the current
    last = current;
    //if current reach the tweetcount start with the first one again
    (count>=current)?current++:current=0;
},timebetween);

//hide all tweetd
tweets.hide();

function setCurrentActiveAndHideLast(current){
    //show the current
    tweets.eq(current).slideDown();
    //and hide the last if set
    if(last != null)tweets.eq(last).slideUp();
}

Nope doesn’t work, probably something I’m doing wrong.

I’m always confused about this kind of stuff ..

Sorry mate.

By the way, if there is nothing more than UL inside “tweet” div, you can probably get rid of the latter and apply CSS directly to the UL. Best practice is to avoid “divitis”, i.e. too many empty nested divs. But you probably know this already.
