IWeb Site Appears Wonky in Other Browsers

Good Morning!
I've built a site with iWeb '08 that looks great when viewed in Safari and Firefox on my Mac (www.stevemaxwell.ca), but looks wonky when viewed in IE in Windows Vista. It shows a different kind of wonkiness when viewed in IE in Windows XP, and still a different of wonkiness again when viewed in Firefox in Vista.
The trouble has to do with misaligned blocks of text, email buttons, and overlapping images.
What do I need to do when I build the site so it looks good in all browsers?
Thanks very much for your help!
Steve

If you have a long text and in between images, it works somewhat better to make separate windows with part of the text then an image, then another text window, and so on. Some extra space between the text windows and images helps.
But windows users had better download Safari so that they don't have any problems viewing your pages.

Flash not appearing in IE 8 but appears in all other browsers

Hi,
I've inserted my flash swf file using Dreamweaver CS4 and it looks great and appears in all other browsers including IE 7 and IE6, but when I try to view it in IE8 nothing appears but a big blank white space. Can someone help me figure out how to make it appear in IE8 as well? Here is the page I've having trouble with.

Unable to see your Flash in IE6 on WinXP. Also, in IE6 your page is not centered. Possibly caused by code validation errors and the fact that some of your file paths are pointing to your local computer drive instead of the site. Specifically these.
behavior: url("file:///C|/websites/BenEverson/3ColumnHybridHeaderandFooter_images/iepngfix.htc");
<script src="file:///C|/Scripts/AC_RunActiveContent.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
Use the online validation tools listed below.

When links are clicked, they do not fully display the NEW page until the mouse is moved.I know it is a current bug, and appears in no other browsers that I know of.

It was pointed out that my links do not function correctly on Firefox on a Windows platform. When links are clicked, they do not fully display the NEW page until the mouse is moved! I have now observed it for myself on my fathers PC running Windows XP on Firefox.My PC is on Windows7
It is the 5 version of Firefox, so I know it is a current bug, and appears in no other browsers that I know of.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
* https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
* Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
* Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")
In Firefox 4+ you can use one of these to start in [[Safe mode]]:
* Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
* Hold down the Shift key while double clicking the Firefox desktop shortcut (Windows)

Is there a way make an iWeb site appear on Google?

With other software I know you need code to do that. I was wondering if iBank had some other way to do it since it doesn’t let you add code to websites.

I use iWeb '09 for my company's site (www.inchwormdesign.com), and I have done everything mentioned here. All is good, but you need to do one more thing.
Download the free program called iWeb SEO Tool (http://www.ragesw.com/products/iweb-seo-tool.html), and do the following:
1. from iWeb, publish site to folder on hardrive (i.e. user-sites-'your site')
2. open up iWeb SEO Tool
3. click on 'OPEN WEBSITE' from top left corner of program window
4. select the entire site folder you published to, and click 'CHOOSE'
5. now, all the files will appear on the left hand side of the program. You will need to select every .html page that is associated with your site (e.g. if you have a 'HOME' page, then you will have a folder called "HOME FILES" and you'll have just below or above called "HOME.html"). After you have selected a .html from the left, you simply fill in the info on the right side of the program.
6. after you've finished all pages info, simply select 'PUBLISH', and fill out your FTP settings for your host (this should be the same info you use on iWeb's publishing attributes).
The most important information to fill is the Title Tags & Meta Tags. Be sure you take some time to thoroughly figure out your site's information. All this information is then picked up by Google's spiders and other search engines. The more and more your site pops up around the internet (i.e. visitors, blogs, links, etc.), the more these spiders will detect your tags and will therefore rank your site higher. A lot of this stuff is completely up to you, though. If you don't get visitors and you don't share and network your site, then your rank on search engines will not be very high.
Another very important thing about the iWeb SEO Tool:
- say you want to make changes to your site and edit pages, etc. as everybody always does, how do you republish the site with all the same tags you added before? Once you've used iWeb SEO Tool, you'll never want to publish via iWeb again, because you'll lose all those very important tags. Luckily the iWeb SEO Tool allows you to do this pretty painlessly.
1. make changes to site using iWeb
2. publish site to folder (same folder as before)
3. open iWeb SEO Tool
4. open your website in same fashion as before
5. when your site is loaded, select the button on the right pane called 'RE-APPLY SAVED TAGS'. This will apply all the same information for every page you did previously. If you add or subtract pages, you will have to do some tweaking, and add new information for new pages, but all pages that you've had before will have all the same information applied.
6. publish site
This is pretty cool, and works really well. It's a perfect complement to iWeb, since iWeb has very limited control when it comes to Search Engine Optimization.
Hope you find this helpful.
Cheers,
jeff

Hosting an IWeb site... and Other Q's

Hey all!
I'm about to start a small business in my town and i've played around with iweb before, and like many of the things you can do with it. I have a couple questions that i hope you guys can help me with...
1) * Biggest one - Does I web allow you to create a shopping cart and purchasing system for a buyer?
If So:
What is a good host to use so that i can create my own domain name?
How compatible is this host with mac's?
I found this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SB86uG3HmQk downloaded it and it seems pretty easy. Does anyone have any input on how good it is?
If Not:
Can i still use iweb to build a site like this then integrate this part in when i find a good host?
In your opinion what is the best host to use when waiting to build a site that is retail focused.
- I haven't been on here in a while, when did everything from .mac switch to mobile me? How is this working for those who use it regularly?
Lastly - My .Mac or Mobile me account is going to run out in 5 days will i loose access to this site and my email once it does?
Thank you!!

For more on E commerce have a look here...

You will have to renew to keep your website published and your MobileMe email address.
MobileMe is not the best solution for publishing. Have a look at ...
http://iwebfaq.org/site/iWebFolderFTP.html
The author uses Host Excellence for hosting - me too.
Host Excellence has E commerce available as well as offering web mail and scripts to have feedback forms etc. Form mail will be pretty essential for your website and this cannot be done with MobileMe with out using, and paying for, an external service.
You will have better performance and reliability with a good web hosting service and they all offer tech support.
Publishing to a folder and uploading may seem like a lot of extra work but, if you use the best applications, you will find it easy and it also gives you the opportunity to optimize your files. This is essential for any commercial web site as people aren't going to wait for your pages to download.

Why can I not see images on craigslist with fire fox? They appear fine with other browsers.

When viewing listings with images on craigslist the images will not appear in the window while using Firefox. This only happens with Firefox. When using Internet Explorer or Opera when I click on the exact same ads the images appear. No, ... I am not running all three browsers at once.

There is a forum specifically for Boot Camp, you can get there by clicking Boot Camp, I'd recommend reposting there.

Various banners aren't shown in Firefox. They do appear in all other browsers.

Various banners will not be displayed by Firefox 4.0.1 running on an Intell Mac (Snow Leopard).
On my Macbook I have exactly the same problem. These banners are shown perfectly when I use Safari or IE. In Firefox they just don't appear.
When the connection is slow, you see the outline of the banner appearing and as it loads, it turns to a blank space that isn't clickable.
How do I solve this?

There is something else that I just noticed.
There is a typo in the type attribute of the CSS files. 
Some have type="text/csss" instead of type="text/css" and that causes Firefox not to load those stylesheets.

I just downloaded the latest Windows updates, now videos online will not work on Firefox but will on other browsers, anyone else having this problem?

After downloading the latest Windows updates I found that I could not play videos on YouTube or at other sites. Switching to other browsers I found I could play those same videos now without any problem. So I did a System Restore to determine if the Windows updates had affected video play using Firefox. The restore point was set to the day before the Windows download occurred. After System Restore was completed I could now play videos using the Firefox browser.
To make sure that the Windows update was the problem, I again downloaded the newest Windows Updates and once again could not play videos on any site using Firefox. System restore was used to again reset my computer to the day before and once again the videos would ow play in the Firefox browser.

Actually your reply took me in another direction and I found this on the Adobe site:
The RealPlayer extension for Firefox, Downloading & Recording, has compatibility issues with Flash Player 11.3. If RealPlayer is installed Flash Player content does not appear. YouTube provides an error message when you try to watch a video.
As a workaround, do the following:
Start RealPlayer.
Click the RealPlayer icon in the upper-left corner and select Preferences.
Select Download & Recording in the left menu and deselect Enable Web Download & Recording for These Installed Browsers option.
Click OK and restart Mozilla Firefox.
Once I followed this I could now again play videos in Firefox.

Why does my javascript code work fine in all other browsers, but not Safari

Previously, I have asked how Safari handles javascript trying to resolve a problem with a slide menu, (http://www.designoutput.com/testslide.html) being directed to validator. I have corrected as many things as possible and still have code work in other browsers. Why will my code work in all other browsers (IE 5.2, Firfox, Netscape, and Opera) and not Safari. It appears that Apple would address some of the problems that people are listing. Possibly, my problem is not with Safari, but my code, if so why does it work in all other browsers. Having more knowledge of how Safari accepts code or handles code differently than other browsers would be helpful. It would be nice if I could debug my code in Safari step by step to know where the problem is at. I'm just frustrated with Safari after working on my problem for over a month. Would be very greatful to anyone that could just being to get my code to appear in Safari (only a blank page in Safari, menu appears in all other browsers)
G4 AGP 400, Powerbook G4, G4 Siver 733 Mac OS X (10.4.7)

you seem to have deleted even more end tags. elements (<a>, <div>, <td>, etc.) need to be closed (</a>, </div>, </td>, etc.) to structure the code properly.
incorrect:
document.write(example)
correct:
document.write(<font...>example)
check out w3schools for html and javascript help.
the ilayer tag should only be in your NS (i.e. not NS6) code, but it too needs to be closed.
i don't use IE, but with these fixes i've gotten your page to display fine in safari, firefox and opera.

How do I publish iWeb site with Cyberduck??

Hi there,
I am trying and trying, but I can't figure it out. Can anybody help me and tell me how to publish an iWeb site with Cyberduck??
Thank you so much!
Marc

Okay, this is not complicated at all.
When you want to publish an iWeb site to some place other than MobileMe, then you publish to a folder of your choice on your hard drive and iWeb will create all the files needed. It will create one folder that has the same name that you called your website inside iWeb plus an index.html page. So if you called your site Site in iWeb, then when you publish to a folder, your folder will be called Site, plus the index.html page.
You then need to open Cyberduck and enter your ftp info, plus your username and password and then you click on open connection. Once you click on open connection you will be connected to your hosting service and there will be a folder there called Public_html. You then need to upload your folder plus index.html file from your hard drive and once these have been uploaded, you just drag and drop them into the Public_html folder on your web space. To upload in Cyberduck, just click on Action at the top and click on Upload. Once you click here you will be shown all the files on your hard drive and all you need do is go to the folder where you site is stored and then click on index.html and it will be uploaded and then click on Site or whatever your site is called and upload this and it will be uploaded.
It is not difficult at all, but you do need to know what you are doing.

Posting iweb sites on a .mac family account...

I have just upgraded my .mac account to a family pack, converting my wifes email only account so she has full .mac goodies. Can we both upload separate iweb sites without overwriting each other? If so how?
Thanks in advance,
Lee

This is from the .mac help menu:
You should have separate accounts addresses
Setting up a Family Pack sub-account
If you purchased a Family Pack account, you can set up four sub-accounts. A Family Pack sub-account includes 2.5 gigabytes (GB) of combined email and iDisk storage.
Note: .Mac Family Pack sub-accounts cannot add email-only accounts or upgrade storage.
To set up a sub-account:
1. If you're not already logged in to .Mac, go to www.mac.com, and log in.
2. Click Account in the left column of the .Mac homepage, and then confirm your login.
3. Click Manage Accounts.
Note: You can manage accounts only if you have a full .Mac membership.
4. In the Family Pack Sub-accounts section, click the Set Up Account button and follow the onscreen instructions.
If you go to the .mac page and click on the help button upper right you can find other related topic.

Appearance of iWeb 2.0.2 pages in Safari and other browsers

I guess this question has been posted several times before because I can't find the relevant search terms to limit the number of answers to a reasonable count. Thus, sorry for the repetition (if so).
Is there a way to amend the appearance problems of iWeb 2.0.2 pages in Safari and other browsers?
Problems are:
Safari: color management (?) - take a look at this site: http://shivaduo.jan-groh.de - Text and frame were created with exactly the same web safe color (990033), but they differ a lot.
Firefox 2..., IE 6, Camino 1.5, Shiira: no shadows, (some) no reflections, (all) horizontally broken lines in reflections of frames, (Windows) fonts (Trebuchet MS) get changed (worked perfectly before with iWeb 1... on exactly the same computer).
Is there any remedy to this aestheical disaster (which was the main reason for me to switch to iLife '08)?
Thanks in advance,
Rosember

My iWeb site can no longer be found by browsers

I have had an iWeb site which has been live for about a month. It has been working perfectly. I have updated several times without any issue. It still appears to be working well within iWeb. I can make changes and publish changes.
I have my own domain name hosted on mobileme
When I now search the internet using any browser, it says
Can't open the page http://www.dhsem.com.au/ because the server where this page is located isn't responding.
I have checked my .mac account and everything seems to be fully functional. Why has my site suddenly disappeared off the internet?
I have tried removing the com.apple.iWeb.plist file from Library/Preferences, rebooting the computer, republishing the entire site, all to no avail.
The site is still sitting in iDisk/Web/Sites.
Everything looks normal from the iWeb side of things. For some reason, no browser can find the server (The IP address of the server is: 118.215.20.59)
Would appreciate any help

You don't need to get your domain name registrar to do this - you should easily be able to do it yourself.
Firstly, ensure that your domain name is entered into the Personal Domain name setting of your MobileMe account.
Go to your domain name registrar and then set up CNAME forwarding if they provide this and forward your domain name to web.me.com - this is all you need do - you don't need to fiddle with nameservers or anything else like that.
If they don't provide CNAME forwarding then you can use web forwarding instead.
