Doing everything as per the readme.txt and still coming up with nada – files have been placed in the modules/sifr/sifr

And the CSS class is set to “#main .title” for the pushbutton theme what else can be tried

This is running under a fresh install so there should be no conflicts with and other scripts

Using the default swf’s for testing

any ideas

tks

Did you download the latest 5.x-1.x-dev version? If not, please try that first.
I've tried that version on a clean Drupal 5 installation, although with an own swf font file, but it's definitely working without any problems.

Please also ensure to clean your browser's cache after editing sIFR rules. Under certain circumstances you have to visit http://<domain>/files/sifr/sifr-screen.css to update the cache of your browser.

no still nothing though getting an error in the console on firefox(2.0.0.1)

The stylesheet http://localhost/xampp/ was not loaded because its MIME type, "text/html" is not "text/css"

here the head

Drupal

@import "/virgin51/modules/hovertip/hovertip.css";@import "/virgin51/modules/node/node.css";@import "/virgin51/modules/system/defaults.css";@import "/virgin51/modules/system/system.css";@import "/virgin51/modules/user/user.css";@import "/virgin51/themes/pushbutton/style.css";@import "/virgin51/files/sifr/sifr-screen.css";@import "/virgin51/modules/sifr/sifr/sIFR-print.css"; // initialize tooltips in a seperate thread $(document).ready(function() { window.setTimeout(hovertipInit, 1); }); if(typeof sIFR == "function") { sIFR.replaceElement("#main .title", named({sFlashSrc: "/virgin51/modules/sifr/sifr/cochin-8.swf", sColor: "#000000", sLinkColor: "#000000", sHoverColor: "#666666", sBgColor: "#FFFFFF", sFlashVars: "textalign=left"})); sIFR.replaceElement(".node .title", named({sFlashSrc: "/virgin51/modules/sifr/sifr/cochin-8.swf", sColor: "#000000", sLinkColor: "#000000", sHoverColor: "#666666", sBgColor: "#FFFFFF", sFlashVars: "textalign=left"})); };

I cant see anything out of the ordinary in there

I'm not able to relate to the error message. Where is /xampp coming from? Are you running this site in a subdirectory? If so, your paths in <HEAD> should look like /xampp/files/sifr/sifr-screen.css.

XAMPP is just my local server that I'm running on my desktop - It cant be that as I been running it for the last year with no trouble relating to css files

I'm stumped as I can see what is going wrong here at all - I had tried Sifr a few months ago and got it working with some glitches on explorer and had been looking forward to getting it set up on word

later

This is not correct:
sFlashSrc: "/virgin51/modules/sifr/sifr/cochin-8.swf"
swf files are stored in the folder /files/sifr, not in the module's folder.

Since sIFR module does nothing special than outputting the external javascript, two CSS file references and the inline javascript, you should be able to get sIFR up & running even without the Drupal module.

No tried moving it to the files folder

that made no difference - I'll try to manually install it over the weekend

last time i had hassle with the sifr I remember it was to do with the javasrcipt file in that I had to call it absolutly and not make reference to its relative path (problems of it being activated in firefox and explorer)

probably not the issue

I'll try a few things and get back
