[Plugin: News-Ticker] All news items showing up on page load

We were having a problem with all of the news list items showing for a second on the screen when the page loaded, but we were able to fix it by setting the newsticker li to display: none in our style sheet:

#news-ticker li { display:none; }

The javascript overwrites the display when it was time for it to show up but hid all of the list items while the page is loading.
