Hey, I’ve found removing the stop() and setTimeout() from the last item callback fixes the issue.

Regards

Firstly, great article! However, there appears to be a small problem with the script. If the onmouseenter event is fired whilst on the last list item, the setTimeout function will already have been queued from the last move() as it i the last in the list. This means that the stop() function appears not to work. It does stop, only to be restarted by the setTimeout from the last move. Once restarted, things become a little more strange and the events are fired more quickly, almost as if we now have 2 intervals operating independently. Please feel free to contact me if my ramblings are unclear.

Hi David,

I’d be interested to see a post from you about the two frameworks – especially the merits & problems of each one.

Very much enjoying this series so far :)
