sIFR Lite: Much Smaller (Maybe Better) sIFR

Sun, Dec 21, 2008

Design, Scripts, Tips and Tutorials

sIFR is one of the most popular solutions for using any font on websites.

There is now another similar solution named sIFR Lite which has some new features but specially much lighter (3.7kb rather than 22kb).

Here are the other differences:

  • It auto-detects the text color of the elements (they are entered manually in sIFR).
  • It is completely object-oriented.
  • It no longer uses CSS selectors. Elements are targeted by tag name and class (a slight loss in ease of use, but faster, lighter, and more maintainable).

The original sIFR is well-tested & widely used but sIFR-Lite is not. So, it would be great to hear your experiences about sIFR-Lite.
