I heard Joel and Jeff talking about sIFR in one of the early podcasts. I've been using it on www.american-data.com and www.chartright.us with some fairly mixed results. Yesterday I was informed that the first line of text on my website appeared upside down in Internet Explorer 6 without flash player. I'm pretty sure that assessment wa...
I'm using sIFR in a page that's being popped up in a nyroModal lightbox, but when the page is displayed, the sIFR objects aren't being shown. What do I need to do to get them to show? ...
I've recently bumped into facelift, an alternative to sIFR and I was wondering if those who have experience with both sIFR and FLIR could shed some light on their experience with FLIR. For those of you who've not yet read about how FLIR does it, FLIR works by taking the text from targeted elements using JavaScript to then make calls to ...
I'm trying to use sIFR (with the jQuery sIFR plugin) on my website, but have run into problems right from the start. I was able to create the swf with my chosen font, but when I run the script, I just get the default "Rendered with sIFR3" message instead of the text of my element. Any ideas? As Novemberborn himself pointed out, I did...
This is driving me up the wall, I need the ratios to stop the resizing/odd padding occuring when the movie renders. According to the Ratio Calculation help article (which is unhelpful since it follows the old, not recommended, way of replacing elements) it should show me a prompt, but it doesn't. ratio.html <html> <head> <script src=...
Hi I just recently upgraded to 436 from 419, and have found that fitExactly will no longer have any effect. You can see an example here: (With 419) (With 436) The javascript config is in the page head. I checked the versions in between, and the latest it works with is 419. I could adjust the width in the Javascript configuration, b...
I'm Using sIFR 3r436, and although I believe everything is set up correctly, and my console shows that the .swf font file is loading correctly, the HTML type is hidden but the sIFR type is not displaying. Below is a link to the site in question: Schaffer's Website Below is a link to a test site that uses exactly the same sifr-config.js...
Using sifr3-r436. First page load of seems fine. Reload page and sifr-alternate text always displays resulting in a double headline, one Flash text one HTML. Any ideas? Please see example here: http://v3.kevincarrollkatalyst.com/blog/ ...
Has anyone experienced sIFR (436) vanishing in IE7, then returning if you resize the browser? It's only been happening with sIFR 436. Thanks, Wilson ...
As far as I use sifr.setup(); every h2, h1, and so on becomes invisible. But I don't want that. I just want the "selectors" to provide a replacement and become invisible and replaced. How can I prevent that? I also have another problem where every font is blue and it never gets that color from anywhere. ...
I'm having an issue in IE on secure pages in my DEV and TEST environments which use a self-signed security certificate. Nothing is displaying (not even the text that is being replaced). Firefox, on the other hand, is displaying the sifr font fine. The URL used in IE to load the Flash movie is a 'https' URL. Has anyone seen this problem b...
First time poster here, using the "sifr3-r436" build. I am doing work on my company's website and decided it was time for us to start employing some SIFR technology. So far, I have been able to figure it out quite easily, with the exception of a question or two. Basically, I have two burning questions that I would like answered. 1) How...
I had my subs working for about 20 minutes, then it stopped, and I get this displayed instead. I have read that this issue is caused by a mismatch between the js and swf. So far, I have: - re-downloaded the 436 build - rebuilt the swf files multiple times - reverted to stock sifr-options.js No matter what I do I am seeing only this tex...
Hi all, I have a sIFR replaced H2 link that simply toggles (w/ jQuery) another div on and off. 'Seems' to work in all browsers but Firefox 3. Any thoughts ? <ul id="titlenav"> <li><h2><a href="javascript:void()">Title</a></h2> <ul id="titlemenu"> <li>1</li> <li>2</li> <li>3</li> </ul> </li> </ul> $(...
Previous versions of sIFR allowed users to enter "sWmode: 'transparent'" to avoid the common problem of Flash objects being overlayed on regular HTML objects on screen, no matter the z-index of either elements. How do I replicate this behavior in sIFR 3.0? ...
This was originally a question, but is now a code enhancement, since it's a very minor (but useful) update. When heading (or other) text is used as a link with sIFR 3, you now get the two 'open link / open link in new window' options in the right-click flash context menu for the link. When I came across sIFR for the first time yesterda...
I thought it might be something I was doing wrong, but I am not seeing it working on any site, including Novemberborn.net. Any Ideas? The CSS is loaded, so the headlines are hidden, and then it is like the JS isn't loaded at all. Could this be a browser detection issue? I am using firefox 3 with latest flash player version 10. I have ...
This is my first time using sIFR3 436. I have followed the instructions and cannot get the text to render at all. http://investcielo.com I'm using both h1 and h2 tags and it will not work. They're still hidden. I'm sure it's something simple, possibly in the css, but I can't find it. I've been looking at it for too long and maybe some...
This is a recurring problem I have in Firefox 3.0. It seems when I keep refreshing sometimes it wraps, sometimes it doesn't. When it doesn't wrap, I can adjust the window size and the sIFR'd element will snap to its correct size. I need my elements to wrap on load, based on the width of it's container. I have the most current 'nightly b...
Hi I have tried a few methods of sIFR implementations, but I cant get it to work 100%. I would really appreciate any help or tips on this issue. I have mainly tried to use sIFR 3 (r436) and I get it to work with the rockwell.swf that is supplied in the example, but I can't get it to work with any other .swf-file The font I want to us...
