Sifr 3 Links Problem - sifr

I am currently coding a site that is using an extensive amount of sifr'ed links. The appearance of the sifr'ed text is fine, however the links only seem to work in Safari. I have seen that there are several other people having trouble with firefox with older versions of sifr, however I have updated to the latest nightly build for Sifr3.
The site is www.lauravinchesi.com/final/
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Make sure to not replace the <a> directly, but replace its parent element.

Bootstrap 3 with Skrollr site getting cut off on ios?

I've been creating a portfolio website for a friend. In an attempt to make the site responsive and artsy, I chose to pull in twitter bootstrap and skrollr. I noticed that in safari in iOS that the site seems to be cut off at a certain point. Has anyone else ran into this issue before? I have provided a link below in case anyone notices anything obvious.

Thanks!
A lot of people (including myself) are having troubles when using skrollr on mobile devices. In order to use both "fixed" and "relative/absolute" position at the same time, you have to put all the divs that are not fixed inside a div called #skrollr-body
However, the real problem is that your skrollr is being confused when getting the height of your
skrollr-body. you can try to put forceHeight: false inside your skrollr.init()
if that doesn't work, it might because skrollr doesn't know where is the end of #skrollr-body, so just put an empty div after your #skrollr-body and give it a keyframe. It should works just fine now :)

Issues while upgrading jquery from 1.2.7 to 1.9.1

I'm in the process of upgrading an old codebase containing jquery v1.2.7 to the v1.2.9. The corresponding UI upgrade is from v.1.6b to v1.9.2 (1.10 doesn't work with IE6). There are a bunch of ui plugins that are atleast 6 yrs old, and most of their authors no longer actively support them.
I took a layered approach of performing this. I first upgraded all the core files (jquery, jqueryUI), then upgraded inhouse js code (attr, $.browser) and such. Then I monkey-patched some of the plugins that had attr and browser. I've managed to work through all the bugs and errors so far. I now have a "clean" build, with a lot of the ajax functionality working as well.
BUT, I'm facing a pretty sticky issue with the facebox.js (yup THAT relic) plugin. I don't see any errors (js, network, or others) in the debuggers (IE8,FB,Chrome), but the facebox dialog displays incorrectly. It still displays the content inside it, but it is transparent and the background and edges do no show. I checked all my css as well as validated using w3c validator. Due to an NDA, I can't post the markup here. I realize that without the markup, even the considerable expertise here might not be able to give a complete solution. Could someone atleast give me some pointers on what I could be overlooking, or things to look for? TIA

As you said, without markup it's difficult to figure out what's going on there, and my answer might be really stupid - but since you don't get any errors in the debug consoles and the box is transparent - is it possible that the images are missing/incorrectly referenced in the CSS?
Not sure how this old facebook.js plugin works, but I've seen one some time ago that used images for backwards compatibility with IE6 (for alpha transparency/rounded borders) - but not always. I think for modern browsers it drew that stuff itself. (pretty much like Facebook did it itself on its site)
So perhaps the error is related to JavaScript expecting images/etc. to be handled by CSS, but the CSS uses an only-IE6-hack?

jQuery UI dropdown select

I wanna have a dropdown menu like this link: http://datatables.net/release-datatables/examples/basic_init/table_sorting.html
(The one that are right below "Live example" line);
I haven't got many experience of working with jQuery UI, and I guess that result is produced by using it. Could you suggest me a way to create that dropdown.
Thank you.
P/S: that may be ok if it is not using jQuery UI (it's just my guess)
That solution doesn't appear too complex - they've got all the data already, and they're just hiding rows depending on what's selected.
On the other hand, as that's an open source project, you could just download it or use the hosted versions and integrate it on your site, which is probably easier than rolling your own solution.
Ok, got it. This is just default style in Firefox (There's no style applying for it yet). I got this misunderstand due to changing browser.

jquery.ie6hover.js confilcts with jQueryUI and crashes IE6

I have a website that's using jquery.ie6hover.js (https://github.com/gilmoreorless/jquery-ie6hover)
And I've just updated to latest version of jQueryUI (1.9.1)
This combination crashes the browser when opening the page in IE6.
It's crashing when calling:
$.ie6hover();
Here's a jsfiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/umhxQ/
I'm testing IE6 using Virtual Box, with Windows XP SP3.
Any ideas how to prevent IE6 from crashing?
I stumbled upon "ie7.js", which seemed to do the trick.
It contains a fix for the hover bug in ie6 (without jQueryUI conflicts)
And jquery.ie6hover.js is no longer needed!
ie7.js - the one you found already - is a great script. It's a bit overkill if all you want to do is fix the hover, because ie7.js fixes loads of stuff. That's great, but if you don't need all the features, then you may be slowing down the browser unnecessarily.
If all you want is to fix the hover, my preferred script is Whatever:hover, which is the one I used to recommend for this.
(when I say "used to recommend", there's nothing wrong with it; it's because these days I don't really recommend supporting IE6 at all. But if you do need to support it, then Whatever:Hover is what I'd use)

Twitter Bootstrap Icon Issues in IE

Bootstrap is a very cool, but for some reason all icons (and icons inside buttons) are not serving up at all in IE 7 & 8.
All that is coming up is a square symbol.
I can live with non-rounded boxes in IE, but the icons are kind of a must. Any ideas?
(if it makes any difference, we're running rails as the platform with the twitter-bootstrap-rails gem.
Thanks!
Make sure you have declared the doctype in your HTML.
<!doctype html>
I assume the icons are correctly served on other web browser and you are using 2.0.4.
You can try to clear the ie cache.
Or maybe http://fortawesome.github.com/Font-Awesome/ (ie7 is supported)
There's a list of issue specific to ie on GitHub : https://github.com/twitter/bootstrap/issues?labels=ie&page=1&state=closed
But don't see any related to your problem.
If none of the answer make sense to you, post some code (jsFiddle would be ideal but since the picture is expected to be in /img it will not works without editing bootstrap.css)
