Novemberborn, Straight lines circle sometime

Evolution

sIFR now does multiple colors, configured by CSS, and with better links. And it’s still missing a lot of features, and is probably incredibly buggy, but hey.

Next step: making it *scalable*.

February 21st (in the wee hours): Now with a hand-tailored word wrap algorithm!

  1. Fantastic progress. I wanna help, but all I can do is run testcases, as you work all alone on this and want it that way…

    I don’t really see the multiple colors though, is that page supposed to be sIFRed?

  2. Please forgive me mumbling about late at night. It does do multiple colors, but it still needs work. You can see how the link is colored differently, though.

  3. Hmm, the demo isn’t being sIFRed in Firefox 1.5 over here. It is in Opera and IE though.

    In IE, while viewing with the highest font setting, the boxes become too short (height) and the text is cropped off.

    Just wondering, how does it recognize multiple colors? Will it work with any CSS that gives the element a different color? Spans with style property for when you’re mocking up a page design, classes, ids, attribute selectors for inline tags, anything?

  4. You can use CSS in Flash.

  5. So… you specify it inline with span style=”stuff”? Or… what? It senses all the styles imposed on the element being sIFRed? If that’s the case, then… wow.

  6. I’m teasing too much… Flash has support for CSS (or rather, a subset of) on the HTML it renders. So you specify CSS rules in sIFR and they’ll be applied. And yes, the classes you use in the HTML will work in sIFR as well.

    I need to write a proper article out of this!

  7. Do that!

    Btw, could you make Alt+S a shortcut to submitting the comment?

    Branstrom | 7 March 2006, 17:01 | link

  8. No, accesskeys are considered harmful :)

    Mark Wubben | 7 March 2006, 19:19 | link

  9. Harmful?

    Branstrom | 8 March 2006, 05:36 | link

  10. Yes. They mess with browser shortcuts.

    Mark Wubben | 8 March 2006, 09:57 | link

  11. I just googled it. But Alt+S is so universally bound to and keyboard-layoutically appropriate (especially with Dvorak) for any submit function in my mind… it isn’t responsible for any important browser functions as far as I know. Maybe just that one? No? ;)

    Branstrom | 9 March 2006, 04:36 | link

  12. No :)

  13. Hi all,

    I’ve ran into a problem. If I make the links on my page Sifred I can’t detect the click event on those links with javascript. So I can’t use Jquery for doing hide and show using clicks on those links. Any idea how to fix this?

  15. Hi Zed, the example is in the sIFR demo that is included in the download.
