An autoQue plugin for jQuery.

An autocue (also known as an teleprompter or telescript) is a display device that prompts the person speaking with an electronic visual text of a speech or script.

Our goal is to make autoQues easy to use on the web

You should look at que.html to see how this is implemented.
