/** 
 * Creates and starts the item scroller which must receive the ID of the node containing the elements to be scrolled, 
 * an optional increment size for the scroll (may be zero if auto), and an optional autoscroll time interval (millseconds). 
 * Transition is the number of milliseconds for the animation of shifting one increment.
 * @param viewport The jquery wrapper around the viewport container.
 * @param increment The number of pixels to shift.  If not defined then it will be pulled from the first child of the page.
 * @param autoTimer The number of milliseconds to wait between automatic shifts. If undefined or <= 0 then there won't be any auto shifts.
 * @param initialDelay The number of milliseconds to wait before starting automatic shifts, or zero if undefined or less than zero.
 * @param transition The number of milliseconds to animate the shifting of the page.  Will default to 1000.
 * @param resetPosition Whether the scroll position is reset upon releasing the item scroller.  This defaults to true.
