jQuery垂直滑动文本

Question

I am trying to make some text scroll vertically using jQuery, I have been following the code example on http://www.switchonthecode.com/tutorials/using-jquery-slider-to-scroll-a-div

Please can someone guide me on how to achieve

1. Position the slider vertically
2. Make the text scroll vertically when the slider is moved up or down

EDIT : (comment on @lonesomeday's answer) I've already tried setting orientation:vertical and tried changing

1. scrollWidth to scrollHeight
2. width to height
3. scrollLeft to scrollTop

in the functions handleSliderChange and handleSliderSlide but that doesn't work

Many thanks

Using the jQuery UI slider , you can do this easily with the orientation switch:

$('#slider').slider({orientation: 'vertical'});

In the example you're using, you should invoke it as follows:

$(document).ready(function(){
  $("#content-slider").slider({
    animate: true,
    change: handleSliderChange,
    slide: handleSliderSlide,
    orientation: vertical
  });
});

Note that you'll probably have to make some styling changes to make it look as pretty as the original example.
