On the other hand, I might have just figured this out anyway (just style .h1-replaced etc). Now, about those instructions my mum could understand ;-)

The 2.0b release this weekend will still be a “developer’s release” per se and might not quite be idiotproof yet…

I plan to be testing it. As an proven idiot, I’ll let you know how it goes. :)

Mike-

I can’t wait! I’ve using sFIR in a client’s site I’m working on, so I’ll give it a good test!

I’m struggling with Firefox and sIFR 1.1.4 :-(

Are Mozilla based browsers particularly pedantic about paths to flash files and things? I’m testing out sIFR on a site here and its working fine in IE5.5, 6 and Opera 7. However, its not working in Mozilla or Firefox – its just drawing out a white (or whatever the bgcolor is) box.

AFAICT the sIFR.js script is working fine, and according to the DOM inspector, the path to the swf is correct (images/flash/sIFR.swf), but the movie just isn’t loading (I right-click on it and get “movie not loaded” in greyed out text).

Anybody have any ideas?

Yes! I look forward to the idiotproof release.

This is the first time I’m posting here, but I’ve been consistently reading your posts. Between you and Inman, I couldn’t wait to see what you came out with next.

And now version 2.0? I’m psyched. Thanks for all of your hard work. What else do you guys have up your sleeves?

I was just amazed by the demo page for this, and waited excitedly as the zip file downloaded…only to find when unzipped, the files were all blank. Anyone know what could be going wrong?
