    we did on a number of projects, but ran into all kinds of problems.

    the developers protested very passionately against sifr, so now we do not use it anymore.

    • Why did they protested against it?ximeraLabs
    • and what kind of problems?ian
    • I remember problems when you combine sifr with dynamic text (cms), line breaks went bust.
      ********
    • then there were problems with layers on top of the siffer-parts, maybe png layers.
      ********
    • on one occasion the html copy text was rendered before the sifr parts, time lag there.
      ********
    • all fixable I guess, but the development time exploded. also IE issues...

    • yup, its a pain if you're working on something complex to time/budget constraintskelpie
    • ugh, lag and ajax whizzery are indeed massive constraints.Nairn
    • it's just a bad idea. gives me the shivers.stewdio
    • sounds like the developers are just lazy bastards not willing to strive for perfection :P23kon
    • i think the lazy bastards could also be the designers who can't figure out a better solution then siFRakoni
