Erratic behavior using tabs in Google Chrome (Ver. 13 OSX)

[zumajoe]

Using Google Chrome on the Mac, if you have a vTicker with multiple list items- open a new tab and wait a good amount of time and switch back, the ticker goes crazy fast trying to “catch up”.

thanks, i've got chrome 13. will look to fix it

the problem is with chrome and setInterval (see http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6951727/setinterval-not-working-properly-on-chrome ). adding these lines appears to fix it for me by pausing when the window is in the background--

    window.addEventListener('focus', function() {
        options.isPaused=false;
    },false);

    window.addEventListener('blur', function() {
        options.isPaused=true;
    },false);

Hi
be sure that you're not using minified version of vticker, otherwise this fix won't work (won't recognize "options").
Lines must be added at around #127, right after this

if(options.mousePause)
{
obj.bind("mouseenter",function(){
options.isPaused = true;
}).bind("mouseleave",function(){
options.isPaused = false;
});
}

so you'll have

if(options.mousePause)
{
obj.bind("mouseenter",function(){
options.isPaused = true;
}).bind("mouseleave",function(){
options.isPaused = false;
});
}

window.addEventListener('focus', function() {
options.isPaused=false;
},false);

window.addEventListener('blur', function() {
options.isPaused=true;
},false);
