Sifr IE6+IE7 Error/not working

Question

Hello there,

I've been trying to get Sifr3 to work for hours now, it works fine in Safari and Firefox, but doesn't in IE6 & IE7.

I've checked the Flash version + found somewhere the problem could lay in media="" definition which i added.

Here are the codes I use:

sIFR.prefetch({ src: 'myriad.swf' }, { src: 'myriader.swf' }); sIFR.compatMode = true; sIFR.activate(); sIFR.replace({ selector: 'h1.pak', src: 'myriad.swf', css: { '.sIFR-root' : { 'color': '#ed1c24', 'font-weight': 'normal' }, }, wmode: 'transparent', paddingTop: 10 }); sIFR.replace({ selector: 'h2.pak,h3.pak', src: 'myriader.swf', css: { '.sIFR-root' : { 'color': '#ed1c24', 'font-weight': 'normal' }, }, wmode: 'transparent', paddingTop: 0 });

If you want to have a look at the page you can go here: www.e-mkb.nl/pakketten.htm

I really hope someone will be able to help me out on this. Thanks in advance,

Philippe

Answer 1

You're using 3.0 alpha 1, which you really shouldn't. r436 is the latest version.

Answer 2

Hey, I am having non-display issues with r436 in IE as well: see www.blokeswhobake.co.nz - can anyone see what I am doing wrong? I dont even know where to start looking :-( Is it:

• doc declaration
• faulty JS
• interfering CSS
• ????

Any help much appreciated.

Answer 3

Trying to get sIFR 3 r436 to work with IE. IE gives some generic javascript error. Removing wmode: 'transparent' seems to help but I still need that wmode for lightbox.

Answer 4

I found a solution here: http://www.mikebuckley.me/2009/10/sifr-transparent-wmode-in-ie6/

basically you just need to add the following code line after sIFR.activate(..); :

sIFR.repaintOnResize = false;
