Hi all, I was wondering whether sifr-text that is rendered in flash has the same width across all browsers / flash plugins (in case I set an absolute font size). So are the proportions of a 24px Helvetica string ‘Hello’ equal, no matter what flash plugin version or browser you have? Thanks in advance for any answers / insights! Thijs....
Hi! I've been using sIRF for a while but it was the first time I watch the traffic between the client and the server. There is only one file for sIRF, nyala.swf. I am using replacements for some headings, at most 5 or 6 at a time on one page. I can see from firebug the a separate request is going to server for the same swf file. I think...
I am using sIFR3 and I have not placed any restrictions i.e. sIFR.domains = ['*']. sIFR text displays very well on a root level page but I see no text in a subfolder page its blank. Any idea what's going wrong there? ...
Hi, I want to be able to check if sIFR has activated after the page has loaded so that I can then make other adjustments - sort of like setting up () alternate behaviours Since sIFR is already checking for the existence of flash, is there an easy global flag I can refer to, or should I just query the DOM to see if the sIFR-replaced cl...
Can someone show me the proper way to invoke the onReplacement callback within sIFR.replace? Here's my current sIFR.replace method call: sIFR.replace(mainNavFont, { selector: 'a.nav-item', css: '.sIFR-root { color: #ffffff; cursor:pointer;}', wmode:'transparent', fitExactly: true, tuneWidth:10, offsetLeft: 5, forceSingle...
sIFR-replaced text shows normally, hiding regular text without issue. However, every time a page loads on the site I'm developing, the replaced text takes forever (forever in internet-time, that is) to load, and jumps vertically on the page with a long lag before finally settling into place. ...
I promise, I've read through hundreds of Joyent posts and stackoverflow questions and I'll preface this by saying I'm certain I have no misplaced commas and have flash installed and have had others try the page in IE. The issue is that nothing renders in IE 6/7, but IE8, FF, and Safari are all fine. Here's the code: //sIFR-config.js ...
Is there a way to reduce the number of times sIFR 3 requests the sifr.swf file from the server? I have tried using prefetch() without success. Is there a way cache the .swf file? Thanks. ...
At clientarea.hexatrope.com/nathanael/ I am using sIFR to create two headlines in the main content column. For some reason, when the headline is two lines long, there is less space between the bottom of it and the following paragraph than when the headline is one line long. Why is this, and how do I fix it? ...
I'd like to use a non-standard web font to improve the appearance of my HTML. Is it preferable to embed a web font or use something like sifr? My understanding is sifr is a flash-based viewer for vector fonts but I've been reluctant to try it because it seems somewhat complicated. There does not seem to be a lot of encouraging talk ...
Does anyone have some pointer/code to implement gradient fonts using sIFR 3? ...
Hey everyone I have a really weird error. When I use sIFR to replace a single h1 element, everything else on the page disappears. It's really odd. I don't get any javascript errors. If I edit out the sIFR.activate function in he sifr-config, everything is displayed normally... This is my code... HTML: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//D...
I've implemented sIFR 3 on my site but I'm having a strange issue. The header is overlaid on a background image which is a gradient. This image is defined in the CSS. As you can see in the image below, the area covered by the sIFR is a slightly different colour. Header image The code for the replacement is as follows: sIFR.re...
sIFR is working fine across browsers UNLESS cookies are disabled. When cookies are disabed, the site appears to begin to load on refresh, but then quickly turns blank to a white screen without any content and no markup in the page source. I've tried using prefetch to resolve with no success. Has anyone else experienced a similar problem?...
This is what I currently have: // #content is visibility=hidden sIFR.replace(mix_bold, { selector: '#content p', onReplacement: function(fi) { $('#content').fadeIn("slow"); } }); The fade in happens, but for a split second the replaced flash movie appears before being hidden. Has anyone gotten this to work? I am using jQuery...
I am creating a site, CardinalCoffee.com, using sIFR. It's not quite ready to go, so access by adding 72.249.85.228 cardinalcoffee.com 72.249.85.228 www.cardinalcoffee.com to your /etc/hosts (C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\hosts on Windows). On the blog page (http://cardinalcoffee.com/blog/), and only on the blog page, certai...
Hello, I inherited a site that uses sIFR 2.0.7 and for reasons beyond my control upgrading to sIFR3 is unlikely. I have a div with text that is successfully being replaced with sIFR. The text is fairly large and should wrap to the next line, but instead it is scaled down by sIFR. Without sIFR it wraps correctly. I've searched both t...
I can't get sIFR to display. It just shows the regular web text. I've went through the steps several times. Maybe I'm just missing some tiny bit of code, but I think I've followed all the steps correctly. Just can't get it to display. Anyone want to look and see if I'm just screwing up some mundane detail? Here is a link to my test pa...
hi, I'm trying to make a li-menu that use sIFR. What I wanna do is to make sIFR replace the first level of the menu but not the second level. The menu is only in two levels. You can find the menu at: www.norrlandsoperan.se/default.asp?id=10135 I would really appreciate if you could make me a hint on how to make this work. Many thanks....
Hi I am having issues with the CMS I am using and sIFR 3, revision 432. It seems to be down to the CMS adding a URL parameter to all asset URLs. For example, the URL for the Flash movie for my font resembles /site/rockwell.swf?key=value. Is this a known issue and expected behaviour? Many thanks for looking at my question. ...
