I have been trying all afternoon to get the jQuery Sifr Plugin (http://jquery.thewikies.com/sifr/) to work, without success. The plugin's site has limited documentation and for something so apparently easy, I'm sure I must be nearly there. I also found some info at http://www.eona.com/sifr/ but I think it's for an older version of the pl...
I'm using sIFR 3 (beta revision 436). I have a simple question, but I can't figure out the solution. I want to select an <a>-tag directly by it's class, not by its parent like I'm doing now: sIFR.replace(din, { selector: '.mainmenu' ,css: [ '.sIFR-root { font-size:13px; text-transform:uppercase; cursor:pointer; text-align:ce...
I have started using sIFR for a site at work, everything works very well except one thing. When I'm scrolling down the webpage with the mouse wheel, it stops scrolling when the pointer is on the flash object. It seems like the flash object is stealing the the focus when the mouse is over it. I have only been experiencing this problem i...
Hi All, I've been trying to tweak my SIFR navigation. I'm replacing with Gill (although I've had the same issue with other fonts). The problem is that no matter what I do with the letter spacing, short words are ok with one setting but not long words and vice versa. In order to stop any words wrapping I have to set letter spacing to 1...
I tried many times and searched this board, but I can't do a simple thing like this: http://xs.to/xs.php?h=xs139&d=09201&f=menu676.gif I want to render a menu like this: item 1 | item 2 | item 3 | .... etc... "item 1" AND pipe character "|" = sIFR rendered text HTML: <div id="menu"> item 1 <span class="pipe"> | </span> it...
I followed the explanation on the sIFR wiki, but can't seem to get accented characters to display in my Flash movie. I opened up the Character Embedding palette, pasted "ÃÄÅÆÇÈÉÊËÌÍÎÏÐÑÒÓÔÕÖØÙÚÛÜÝÞßàáâãäåæçèéêëìíîïðñòóôõöøùúûüýþÿ" into the "Include these characters" field after the ampersand, hit "OK", then re-exported the .SWF. The cha...
The left hand side of the replaced text is being clipped by a few pixels, and I can't figure it out. The only thing that seems to solve the problem is setting everything to text-align: center, but that's obviously very impractical. Not sure what I've done wrong as I can't find any reports of a similar problem. I'm using Glow and DropSha...
Hello, looking forward to any help/comments on any aspect of this, but the main question is about sIFR text wrapping, and how to disallow it. This was supposed to be a simple html-izing job (ha ha ha) Check out http://tinyurl.com/p8qq92 So I've housed the nav and the content clip boxes in tables, which I know you purists might disdain,...
Is there anywhere I can download a SWF fo sIFR 3 of the Rockwell font (like the one that comes with sIFR 3), but with a bunch of special characters embedded too? Specifically the pound sign (£), but more would be great :) I don't have access to Flash right now and I've tried the automatic tools but with little success. I've looked eve...
I am working on an existing site which uses sifr. It was set up to substitute all h1, h2, etc with sifr. I need to prevent this from happening on just a couple headlines. Unfortunately because of the timeline I do not have the time to change the sifr-config to be more locked down and then change all of the html pages too. Is there some...
Howdy, my website http://tweetMP.org.au uses SIFR to render the flash font h2 headings. If you compare the site between Firefox and IE7/8 you'll notice the headings are noticably smaller in IE (7 and 8 only - IE6 looks fine). Adjusting the font-size on my ie(7 and 8 specific css) does nothing. Any ideas why this is the case? -V ...
I encountered a use case where the business would like to display an answer to a question in a handwritten font. So, my initial thought was to use sIFR, but the other part of the use case is they want the handwritten font on blue lines, analogous to writing in a paper notepad or notebook. Can sIFR do a stylized font + notebook lines, o...
I've got the following html: <li><a href="#"><span class="font Berthold-light">1</span>Consectetur adipiscing elit risus.</a></li> The number within the span is replaced by sIFR, but I'd like it to change color on a:hover. In CSS it would work like this: a:hover span { color: #0fb5ef; } Is there a way to do the same with sIFR? ...
How do I catch onclick events in sIFR? I know I'm meant to use onRelease, but can't figure out how. I've been looking high and low for a solution to use it in combination with jQuery ui tabs, which is triggered with this function: $(function() { $("#tabs").tabs(); }); I've tried simply inserting it like this, obviously without any ...
I'm using sifr for a few items on this page: http://blueprint.staging.dante-studios.com/public/templates/home.php unfortunately it seems that the rendering is very slow, does anyone have any idea of how to: a) speed up the rendering process b) hide all "to be sifr'd" items until all of them are ready? ...
www.johncowle.co.uk/ I have employed Sifr on my site index. It works fine in Safari but nothing appears in Firefox. can you help please? I'm stuck! thanks, Jay ...
I'm having problems with sifr showing the replaced text and the flash rendered text. All the css files are loading correctly, however I'm implementing this in sharepoint 2007 so it's possible something else is causing the problem. This is the browser output I'm getting:- h1 class="large sIFR-replaced" style=""> object id="sIFR_replaceme...
Gotta be something I'm doing wrong when converting the ttf with OpensIFRr, but I'm seeing %20 chars for non-breaking spaces in all sIFR'd text. I'm using the jQuery sIFR plugin (3.04) with the following: <div><h1>My Example Text</h1></div> ... <script type="text/javascript"> <!-- var $j = jQuery; $j(...
When implementing sIFR on a site using the YUI Fonts CSS I'm having trouble getting sIFR to display headers in correct size according to what's defined in the css (in percentage). To get it working I had to use px in the sifr.css file which is breaking the scalability. Anyone got this working and would be able to share how-to? ...
Hey all, I've recently been getting into using sifr as a healthy alternative to generating text as image using php. I've got a question about underlining text, for a website design I need to be able to specify the thickness of the underline and the distance from the text, is there any way to accomplish this with sifr? If not, is there a...
