Applying twisty icons to my HTML snippet

I have a page with an HTML snippet on it which loads various tables in collapsed mode. Each table is expandable and collapsible on a button click. The icons are pointed to '/SCORES_files/expand.gif' and the same for collapse. I have copied the desired icons into that location on my iDisk but after publishing the page and viewing it the files disappear from that location and the icons don't appear on the page. How can I rectify this?

Thanks,
That makes sense. However, after publishing my site the icons disappear from the folder location. I got it to work by inserting the icons (from my local drive) into the page which automatically copies the files to the target url but I would rather not have to do that. Do you know why I can't manually copy my files to the URL and make them persist?
Thanks

Youtube Video in iWeb "html Snippet" is Blank?

The html Snippet Widget shows an unhappy face icon when I publish the site to the internet in preview form. In iWeb itself the video shows up as a blank box on my site when I load the "embed" text from the Youtube video into the black box window and hit "apply".
Here is the Youtube Embed text if it helps to analyze it. <iframe width="560" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/GdC9WLhUum0?rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
I can successfully load the Youtube Widget but I dislike the 4 x 3 format with excessively large top/bottom black bands and control bar. I prefer the 16 x 9 format of the html Snippet, but it needs to function.
Help please.
Dan

Okay, it is simple. The video will not work because there are mistakes in the code that you have posted - if the code is incorrect then it won't work.
Where you have src="//www.youtube.com/embed, the code should in fact be as follows:
src="http://www.youtube.com/embed
I have just opened iWeb on my Mac and copied and pasted the code, but then changing it to http:// and the video works perfectly - comes up with someone in a canoe and is entitled River Discipline.

HTML snippet not working

I have multiple sites that I've created with iWeb and have used the program for years. However, in an attempt to update one of my sites I encountered a road block. I was trying to embed html from my Vimeo site using the html snippet function but the regular html snippet window was not present, (i.e. no gray window to place code, no apply button. Just a blank white box). When I do copy the code it just sits on the page like text.
I've re-installed iWeb but the same scenario is occurring.
Thank you,
C

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Try the following:
1 - close iWeb.
2 - delete the iWeb preference file, com.apple.iWeb.plist, that resides in your Home/Library/Preferences folder.
3 - go to your Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iWeb folder and delete the contents.
4 - reboot.
5 - launch iWeb and try again.

HTML snippet height problem in all browsers but Safari

hi i'm trying to embed Vimeo in my webpage using HTML snippet. i thought it was working fine until i found out that in other browsers than Safari the movie is cut off at about 120 pixels..
i did some testing and now i find that whatever HTML code i try to publish using HTML snippet looks
cut off ! no matter what the height settings are, and believe me i tried everything, and all sorts of code..
this is such a mayor bug, i cant understand why i cant find other people with this issue??
using IWEB 09 last version..
please have a look at this:
http://www.geertmul.nl/Geert_Mul/LibraryOfBabel.html
with both Safari and Firefox.
see what i mean..??
thanx for a reply !

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. I've experienced something similar. Here's how I fixed it. After using the apply button I clicked and dragged the snippet lower border down a long way. Don't worry if it overlaps other items. After dragging DONOT hit the apply button again. Just do a Publish Site Changes and try the page in Firefox again. Be sure to clear the browser's cache so you don't view the previous version of the page.
NOTE: you might change the caption lines from 2 to 3 in your album pages as a couple of the albums are requiring a 3rd line and it's partially cut off. Also the image for the Split Representation Prints album is giving an error. The link works but the album doesn't have a photo in it.

IWeb HTML Snippet--Facebook Badge

I've had a Facebook HTML Snippet on my iWeb home page for over a year and suddenly this week, it quit working. I just see the outline box with a question mark in the middle now. I tried deleting the snippet an republishing it several times. I've repasted the HTML code from Facebook several times into the box. When I click on APPLY, it just doesn't work anymore. I've tried several of the Facebook snippets, and none of them work either. Wonder what's changed?

Deleting HTML Snippets

I'm using Contribute CS3 on a Windows Vista Home Premium
platform to test inserting html snippets into a sports web page. I
want to change out the code periodically to provide fresh content.
I can get the snippet to work just fine, and I can see the icon for
the snippet when I edit the page. However, when I try to delete it,
I get the following message:
"You cannot perform this action in this region of the page."
I've tried deleting the table cell into which it was inserted
as well as the entire table row, and it just gives me the same
message. Can anyone tell me how to get rid of it?

also seeing this on my end, The one thing you can do is try
choosing Action>Edit in External application> and then remove
the html code that way in Notepad. It does seem a bit wonky that
you can't select and remove the html snippet by selecting it..

Print this Page Java html snippet

I decided to try adding the above to one of my pages in iWeb.
I added the java code as shown on Old Toad's site:-
<form>input type="button" value=" Print this Page "
onclick="javascript:parent.window.print();return false;"/></form>
I placed this code in an html snippet in iWeb and applied it and it showed up as Print this Page in the site. I then published the site to a local folder and uploaded the changed pages to my external server. After uploading, I visited my site and tried clicking on the button and it did not work.
Anyone know why it did not work? The code is correct and I copied and pasted from OT's site directly into an html snippet.
Is the code site or page specific or generic, that it will work for any site?
Does it only work in MobileMe published sites and not for sites uploaded to an external server?
Any insights gratefully received.

Does the print button work when the site was on your HD locally? Here's some different code that you might try:
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
// This script was supplied free by Hypergurl // <a class="jive-link-external-small" href="http://www.hypergurl.com">http://www.hypergurl.com</a>  </script>
The original code should work on any server as far as I know. Cyclosaurus is the authority on javascript and should have an answer.
This Google search has numerous examples of code:http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&safe=active&client=safari&rls=en-us&ei=MBCjSd X6LoK2sQOIj8zGCQ&sa=X&oi=spell&resnum=0&ct=result&cd=1&q=javascriptto+printpage&spell=1

IWeb won't seem to accept an HTML Snippet

I've just downloaded the following Snippet from 6sense.com.
<applet archive="snowshow.jar" code="snowshow.class" width=830 height=999>
<param name="density" value="low">
<param name="id_key" value="6s890667530995822119">
<param name="maximages" value="1">
<param name="image1" value="B.jpg">
</applet>
As a non-html-ie I have no knowledge as to whether the code in this snippet is OK or not. It is supposed to produce a snowfalling effect over a graphic.
I've dragged the HTML Widget to my page in iWeb (V3.0.1), and copy-pasted the snippet into the window. I presume that after so doing I should click "Apply"... I do so and then all I get is a beach ball... on and on... and when I go to Force Quit, iWeb is tagged as Not Responding.
Is there something wrong with the snippet code, or is there something else I should be doing to get it to work?

The code you use assumes that the jar file and jpg image are in the same folder as the widget markup file. That's not possible, since iWeb has to publish the webpage and it companion folder first. Plus you run the risk iWeb wipes the jar file and image when you change the pagename.
So you jar file and jpg images have to be somewhere else on the server.
Locate them on the server and determine the path. Then use the ../../ the way I described.
Of course you can put the files in the folder after publishing.
Personally I would create a separate Basic HTML page with the code and embed it in iWeb with the HTL MSnippet.
I found that pasting the Java code in a HTML Snippet directly does no go well with iWeb.
[Read this article|http://www.wyodor.net/iWebBlogTest/Wyodor1/archives/2009/05/entry35.html] how I do that.
Do not be misled by the title. Instead of Movie, read Java.

Problem Creating an Image Link within an html snippet?

Hi,
For some reason I have been unable to link to an image on my Mac by using <img src within an html snippet.
I have uploaded the photo to my server and created a link with <img src "http://www.domain.com/image.jpg" />.
However, when I try linking to the image like this - <img src "Users:Documents:Photos:image.jpg" />, when I click apply on the html snippet all I get is a blue dot with a question mark and I have checked that the image is in my Documents and then Photos folder and it is. When I link to it with the server the photo shows.
Any ideas as to what I am doing wrong?
I would appreciate some help, as I have tried various combinations to link and nothing seems to be working except linking directly from my server and I don't really want to do this at the moment.
Thanks

Thanks for that and I did use correct syntax in the html snippet - it was a typo here.
I did as you suggested and dragged the photo into the Safari browser, after placing the photo on the desktop and it gave me the file name and that showed as file:///Users/My username/Desktop/Image.jpg, so I tried this in my html snippet and did it as so:
It is still not working for some reason and when I click apply, the photo shows up as a blue square with a question mark in it, although I know the photo is there.
Why is this? I followed the path, yet when I link to the photo on the server with it works perfectly everytime.
Thanks

Vertical align page html snippet

hi
Does anyone have example of html code for vertically aligned content in iweb?

Cyclosaurus is not always complete with his instructions.
I don't do tutorial, therefore there is no instruction.
my examples work, which means the code is good.
you will have to decode my iweb pages, my codes and my methods. (same apply to apple sw guys)
i saw this page (http://temp.cyclosaurus.com/VerticalCenterPage/ShortPage.html), but i could not aquire necessary code... but it does not work
because the code won't work when inserted using html snippet, it only works when directly inserted on the page.
/ShortPagefiles/widget0CustomCode.html
that's where my widget CustomCode does the work.
give them feedback: http://www.apple.com/feedback/iweb.html
and ask for tools to build widgets.

Menu not present and HTML snippet editor not displaying...help

Hi All,
I have been building a few websites with iWeb and today i opened the software to find that my menu was a blank box with a small grey dot on the left side.
i went to adjust some HTML snippets to find that the the pop up editor wasn't appearing.
so my question is simple. where have these gone? is there a setting to turn off these features?
the issue is the same on all sites and any new site. when i drag new HTML snippets into a page the box appears like a text box but the editor window isn't there and i can't type in anything.
the same applies for any widgets from the media library.
hopefully someone can point out what i'm missing and help me get back on track.
thanks for your time

Try the following:
delete the iWeb preference files, com.apple.iWeb.plist and com.apple.iWeb.plist.lockfile, that resides in your Home() /Library/Preferences folder. You may have already tried this.
go to your Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iWeb folder and delete its contents.
Click to view full size
launch iWeb and try again.
If that doesn't help continue with:
move the domain file from your Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder to the Desktop.
launch iWeb, create a new test site, save the new domain file and close iWeb.
go to the your Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder and delete the new domain file.
move your original domain file from the Desktop to the iWeb folder.
launch iWeb and try again.

Weird HTML snippet frame behavior...

Hi, I am using the HTML snippet to do some CSS stuff. Pasting the code in the HTML snippet box and clicked the Apply button.
Wow! the snippet frame (normally with 6 small white squares for you to resize the frame to display all the snippet content) suddenly expands to 7,124,555 px in width!!!
I can't use this snippet without spending 10mins to reduce the width to the proper width.... does anyone come across this problem and found a solution?
BTW, the HTML code in the snippet references 1 CSS file, and 1 javascript file stored in the proper location on my idisk (the same idisk location iWeb08 would publish my site), and iWeb08 is reading the files OK. If the CSS and JS files are not referenced properly (ie, the files do not exist on idisk), the snippet won't exhibit this weird behavior....

HTML Snippet won't work.

I am creating a new site on iWeb 08. I want to have a snippet of my "Blog" page in a box on my "Home" page.
I published the site, went online and copied the view source (HTML Code). I then went back to iWeb and pasted the HTML Code into the snippet box and applied. I can see the outline boxes from the Blog page but no other information. I called Apple and they said what I am doing should work, but it doesn't. I'm not very familiar with HTML code so Cut and Paste is the best I can do.

Hello,
If I understand it correctly. That is what I did with my cat's website :
On here main page http://www.site49.eu/Taxi/Welcome.html
you'll see on the right bottom "My latest blog entry' and an iFrame (insert HTML snippet) showing only the latest blog entry. (function scroll.to)
Remark : it doesn't work well with Firefox.
I'm not behind my iWeb computer right now.
In the meantime, can you post the iFrame code you used ?
Kind regards,
Leo

HTML Snippet Error

I'e seen many YouTube videos on using the iWeb '08 HTML Snippets. The problem is that when I use ANY of the Web Widgets a blank box just pops up.So I just typed the HTML code into the box and published my site. When I opened it there is just the code but it is just acting as plain text. Anyone know how solve this problem?
Thanks in advance!

Welcome to the discussions. When the +"blank box just pops up"+, is that the result of clicking on the +Web Widgets+ icon in iWeb's lower toolbar and choosing +HTML Snippet+ ?
...You should see a black window appear — do you see that? If so, that's where the snippet code should be pasted.
If you want to post screenshots here of what you're seeing, go here:
http://www.imageno.com
...once uploaded, from the resulting page, copy & paste the *"HTML code for webpages"* into your forum post and switch to Preview mode to check the clickable thumbnail works.

Html snippet disappeared

I wrote a long passage in the html snippet widget and as I clicked on something else it faded from view to disappear entirely. Can I retrieve this text in some way?
Thanks
Sinclair

That all depends on whether you clicked on Apply in the bottom right of the widget first? You need to click on Apply to allow it to function as a snippet first, but if you didn't then it will disappear, in which case you'll need to do it again.
