Project DescriptionSLTR stands for “Silverlight Text Replacement”. SLTR is a technology which allows you replace text elements in your websites with Silverlight equivalents. Use any existing True Type and Open Type fonts to display elements such as headers. Keep your designer happy!
SLTR requires enabled JavaScript and latest Silverlight Plug-In. If one of these conditions isn’t met browser will simply ignore SLTR and use standard HTML with CSS.
How does it work?
- SLTR checks for Silverlight plug-in
- If plug-in was found it locates all objects referenced with given rules
- For each object it creates Silverlight replacement which renders innerHTML content of an object using declared font and font size
- SLTR contains HTML interpreter which can render following tags: b, strong, i, em, u and <span style=”color: #rrggbb | rgb(0-255,0-255,0-255);”>
SLTR was tested on Windows with IE7, IE8b1 and Firefox 3 browsers. It was also tested on latest available Mac OS with Safari and Firefox 3 browsers. SLTR currently doesn’t work with Opera and Safari on Windows. It also doesn’t work with latest Moonlight build (2.0.30226.2 compatible).
Does SLTR installs Silverlight plug-in when it isn’t found?No. You can use Silverlight.js project to provide in-place installation.
