R – sIFR: visible on local, not remote

localsifrview

When working on a static mirror of the site, the sIFR is rendered correctly using Dreamweaver's live view. When viewing site locally in a browser, the regular text is printed, as expected. However, when uploaded and viewed from a remote web server, neither is visible.

I am using version 3 of sIFR, and the site can be viewed here, with an example page employing siFR implementation:
http://www.thevulgarbulgar.com/TEMP/rush/vacancies.html

Whereas it should look like so:

rush.co.uk/vacancies

Thanks for looking.

R – sIFR onReplacement example

Like this:

sIFR.replace(mainNavFont, {
  selector: 'a.nav-item',
  css: '.sIFR-root { color: #ffffff; cursor:pointer;}',
  wmode:'transparent',
  fitExactly: true,
  tuneWidth:10,
  offsetLeft: 5,
  forceSingleLine: true,
  onReplacement: function(fi) {
    // Movie has been replaced
  }
});

Also, you'll find that replacing the <a> directly will break the links in most browsers. You have to replace the parent element such that the link ends up inside the Flash movie.

R – sIFR will not display

You are getting 404's on the SWF files needed for the sIFR, so that would be the first thing to look into.
