jquery horizontal news ticker using google jsapi
<p>I need to make some changes to this news ticker which is based on goldyberg's jquery horizontal newsticker using Google JSAPI:</p>

<p><a href="http://inetwebdesign.com/jQueryTools/tickers/horizontal-news-ticker2/horizontal-news-ticker3.html" rel="nofollow">http://inetwebdesign.com/jQueryTools/tickers/horizontal-news-ticker2/horizontal-news-ticker3.html</a></p>

<p>I have two questions:</p>

<ol>
<li><p>How do you limit the number of words that are being pulled into the div? Right now it is too long and it wraps.</p></li>
<li><p>How do you add the date from the rss feed to the string that is displayed?</p></li>
</ol>

<p>Here is the code I believe is relevant:</p>

<pre><code>     parse: function(entries) {
        var feedMarkup = '';
        feedMarkup += '&lt;ul&gt;';
        for (var i = 0; i &lt; entries.length; i++) {
            feedMarkup += '&lt;li&gt;&lt;a target="_blank"
                    href="'+entries[i].link+'"&gt;'+entries[i].title+'&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;';  
        }   
        feedMarkup += '&lt;/ul&gt;';
        $("#ticker-content").empty().append(feedMarkup).fadeIn(400);

        $('#ticker ul                  
                 li:eq(0)').show();                                                   

        current = $('#ticker ul li:eq(0)').index();
        first = 0;
        last = $('#ticker ul li').length;
</code></pre>

<p>Thanks in advance for your help.</p>

<p>Regards,
umbre</p>
