Hi,

I’ve a difficult problem with my poll - [http://tommisundqvist.com/demo/demo.html](http://tommisundqvist.com/demo/demo.html) - grades 80 and 100 crosses 180 degrees in this rotation when _this.\_rotation_ never get the value of _asteLuku_. Of course I could set the value of _asteLuku_ like -175 and -125, but then the pointer rotate wrong direction. How can I solv this situation? Can I define the direction of rotation or…? 🙂

Thanks in advance.  
-Tommi
