Anyone had any experience of using this?
Sounds too good to be true.

yep, i did. not in a real job, but just experimenting.
it worked ok on screen, but doesn't work when you're printing that webpage.

yeah l've seen it before and i also think microsoft are doing something similar but you dont need flash

Used it a few times, with quite good results:

Font sizes in IE and FF differ slightly with the latest version of sIFR, I'm not sure how to deal with this.

good results on pc, not so good on mac. Sometimes the plain text appears for a second then the flash appears. I used it on this site.

if you read the documentation it gives some tips to both eliminate the blink of plain text and fix up the print version...i've had great results with it...just use it with restraint

sweet, I'll check that out. Did it pretty quickly the first time round.

yeah i took a look at the source for the site you linked...what you need to do is call the function from within the html doc rather than the linked js file...that is what will fix the blink...the doc gives examples

hey cheers man! I'll fix that up when I've got a minute and read the docs properly.

no problem...i only know from fucking it up a few times myself :)

I work around it everyday. It's slow to load when used multiple times on a page. The copy sometimes breaks funny depending on the length leaving weird white space or carriage returns.
