R – SIFR 3 Beta: Has Anyone been able to text-align right

sIFR may be initializing too early. Easiest fix is to set sIFR.useDomLoaded = false; before sIFR.activate(), which will wait until page load before replacing the elements.

You can also look into using sIFR.useStyleCheck = true; which needs a bit more CSS but will wait until the CSS has loaded.

It's hard to say based on your question, but if you replace the individual list items, the entire list item will be a sIFR link. If you want more space around the text you should do this within the Flash movie rather than in CSS. You can use the tuneWidth, tuneHeight, offsetTop and offsetLeft parameters for this.
