R – sIFR and display: none

sifr

sIFR doesn't seem to work on objects with display set to none. I've tried calling sIFR.redraw() after setting display to block but the replacement isn't showing up. Am I just calling the wrong method?

Best Answer

sIFR can't calculate an element that isn't displayed, because the dimensions are 0x0. The alternative is to offset it via

el { position:absolute; left:-999em; top:-999em; }

You can also use overflow:hidden on the parent element to clip it away, when you need to show it you just re-set the element's position to 'static'.

There currently is no way to change the font size, other than removing the replacement and replacing the text again with a different size.

R – Can’t get sIFR to display

You're including the config file before the main library file. Try to switch it around.

If you're in Firefox, you can look at the Error Console. Where it says.

Error: sIFR is not defined
Source File: http://www.creativewhirlwind.com/reallynewversion/sifr_test/js/sifr-config.js
Line: 25

You should also look at using FireBug.
