var hourpercent = hour / 24 * 100;

var percentofday = Math.round(hourpercent + minutepercent);

// calculate which pixel row to start graphic from based on how far through the day we are
var offset = backgroundheight / 100 * percentofday;

// graphic starts at approx 6am, so adjust offset by 1/4
var offset = offset - (backgroundheight / 1);

function scrollbackground() {

offset = (offset < 1) ? offset + (backgroundheight - 1) : offset - 1;
