I am installed this plugin in word press and right now what the plugin in does is make the text scroll. I know how to implement a javascript to make the text fade in and out instead. I just do not know how to get it to work with this word press plug in. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Below is the plugin

<h3>Notices Usage</h3>
<ul>
<li>Define notice text above. Note, HTML is allowed but be careful to avoid <code>"</code> (double quote characters).</li>
<li>Use the <em>Notices</em> widget (<em>Design » Widgets</em>) to show a sidebar widget that scrolls a chosen number of the most recent notices.</li>
<li>Or use this <code><?php put_ticker( [<u>true</u> | false] ); ?></code> in your template files. Where <code>true</code> or <code>false</code> determines if the ticker should be hidden when there are no notices to scroll. For example, <code><?php put_ticker(false); ?></code> only shows the ticker when there are notices to scroll, whereas <code><?php put_ticker(true); ?></code> always shows the ticker - even an empty one.</li>
</ul>
