How and When Link in this paragraph is broken.
“Andrew Hume — Andrew wrote a great article on his site, Usabletype.com, about how and when to use sIFR. He’s also been helpful in explaining proper usage to people when the opportunity arises.”

[…] Berea Sreet, till synes en dag efter Mike Davidsson lanserade sIFR 1.0. Mindre Ã¤n ett Ã¥r senare lanseras sIFR 2.0 och sÃ¥vitt jag fÃ¶rstÃ¥r har version 3.0 inte kommit lÃ¤ngre Ã¤n till beta – men det Ã¤r version […]

Aaron: Shouldn’t be a problem.

so i have a question in regards to using sifr on a corporate website. if i would use this technique to display a purchased font (with 5 user licenses) would i be doing something illegal. since it is not a graphic and a font would this be a form of distribution of the font i purchased. this may more of a legal question than anything, but i would like to know if anyone else has run into this problem.

Brilliant: a holy grail for HTML

had a little trouble installing it for a CMS: as I had to put the swfs at the level of the index.php (and had to add the php path variables to find the various .js, and .css files)

But thats probably because I’m not using php everyday

Thanks a lot for all the work

I’m having a similar problem as Dug’s for FF Mac (FF PC, safari, ie6, ie7 are ok)

I have a drop down menu that covers two sifrs, an h1 and h2. The h1 sifr stays on top of the dropdown instead of being covered. The h2 gets covered just fine. No z-index edits have solved this problem.

Any suggestions?

I have discovered a strange edge-case bug in .sifr 2.0 while using Firefox on the Mac OSX.

Upon initial page rendering the Flash titles show up just fine. I then have a pop up above the main page content (it is a printer-friendly format). As intended, The Flash element are covered by this DIV.

If you then choose File > Print > Preview from the browser’s menu, the Flash elements reappear and “shine through” the popped up DIV (in the browser window, not the browser’s print preview window). I have not been able to fix this with CSS background or z-index values.

If I close and reopen the DIV, the Flash element do not shine through. Also, if I click and draw over the popped up DIV (selecting its content), the Flash elements disappear.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Wow. Looks solid. AkaXakA commented on ads imitating it. Blahh! It’s something to worry about for sure.

Awesome work! Quick question, what happenes in the case of AdBlock? I've never heard of FlashBlock but I know many people who use AdBlock. Thus far, the reason I haven't commited to sIFR is simply due to that damn plugin that so many use.

This rocks. I introduced sIFR on a project I’m working on now and it’s great. Eveyone assumes they’re looking at images. Change all the H1 headings to blue? No problem – give me 30 seconds! Try doing that with 70 pages of image based headings. Thanks for all the hard work!

Absolutely fantastic!

Thanks to the entire team of amazing developers that working on making this happen the web can start to become a better looking place for typography. You guys are my hero’s.

I’m sure it’s been a long journey but it was definitely worth it.

I use the Flashblock extension to dispose myself of annoying adverts. I’ve added Mikeindustries.com to the allow list – I trust you – and I see your Flash header, but no sIFR. Maybe you guys and Flashblock could work closer together so that Flashblock will allow sIFR if it is on the allow list…
