sIFR – Make Your Headlines Prettier with Flash


sIFR (or Scalable Inman Flash Replacement) is a technology that allows you to replace text elements on screen with Flash equivalents. sIFR is the result of many hundreds of hours of designing, scripting, testing, and debugging by Mike Davidson and Mark Wubben. Mike, Mark and an invaluable stable of beta testers, supporters, and educators like Stephanie Sullivan and Danilo Celic of Community MX completely rebuilt a DOM replacement method originally conceived by Shaun Inman into a high quality cross-browser, cross-platform typography solution for the masses.

You can find the stable version of sIFR 2.0 on Mike Davidson’s Blog. Also there is sIFR 3.0 which still in beta but provides some better font rendering from the previous versions [sIFR 3.0 beta]
