I had fantastic help from David on this post [How to reset css before repeating sequence](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/22279283/jquery-how-to-reset-css-before-repeating-sequence) but there wasn't enough room in comments to ask all my questions.
David set my JQuery right and also rewrote most of it because I was heading in the wrong direction
What I have now is exactly what I want, Text appears on the right, slides over to the left, pauses and fades. A new line of text does the same thing and I can have as many lines as I want.

I would like to understand what is happening here, I'm a complete Noob with JQuery.
Here is a jsfiddle of it working - <http://jsfiddle.net/Bf49z/13/> - I have rearranged the lines so they make more sense to me.
Here are the questions that wouldn't fit in the comments -

What is hard to understand is why the animation is stopped, before it’s started.

```
$elements.eq(index).stop()   .animate({

```

I assume it stops the animation at the second, third, fourth etc repeats?

Then 

```
.animate({"opacity": "1",  //Animate opacity to opaque
    "left": "6px"    //Animate left to 6px
    }, 1000,

```

Makes it visible and moves it to the left, taking one second?

I understand 

$(this).delay(3000) .animate({ //Wait 3000ms

Then is this next line a way of fading by changing opacity over 1 second?

```
       .animate({   "opacity": "0"  //Animate opacity to transparent
    }, 1000, 

```

Then the next 2 lines reset the css?

```
function(){ //After animation
        $(this).css("left", "400px"); //Reset left

```

Thanks again for your help, hope you don’t mind the questions.
