My in-page html links don't work in Firefox.

I've made som links within the same page in HTML, and they don't function in Firefox, though they work just fine in IE. I've already tried everything on this page: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-and-diagnose-firefox-problems?esab=a&s=links+don%27t+work+in+firefox&r=19&as=s
This has been a problem for years now. Why don't in-page anchor links work? I'm just using html with Wordpad to create my pages, not any CSS.

House Rules at the top of the page.
<pre><nowiki><a href="#PCgen">Character generation</a></nowiki></pre>
<pre><nowiki><a name="#PCgen"><center>
<img src="KFR0 images/buts/bar swordcloth.gif" width=500 height=80>
</a></center></nowiki></pre>
This would be the correct manner. Dump the # and close that '''a name''' tag immediately.

When I create a multi-page file, links don't work.

When I create a multi-page file, links don't work. Whether I use "preview all pages in browser" or export "html and images", the cursor changes to a hand over the links, but the links don't react to the mouse click. Also, when I export a multi-page file, I get as a result a listing of .gif files instead of .html files.

Make sure you select the Images & HTML export option

1) "Care Pack" product registration page error 2) Driver download page error - links don't work

I cannot register my printer because the page has "Care Pack" product registration page has errors:
https://register.hp.com/americas/flowPage/registration/index.do?execution=e1s1
I fill in all the information and click the blue "Submit Query" button, and nothing happens except 3 silver "Submit Query" buttons appear below where it says, "Search results" "Select the product that you want to register." But there are no results! And why 3 buttons if no results?
Cookies and scripts are enabled. I did that and refreshed the page before I entered anything, so nothing is getting rejected.
It seems the website has a lot of problems...the download links on the driver page wouldn't work either, so I had to get them from a 3rd party. I am lucky to find a reliable site! (The driver was official and the printer finally installed correctly, which it couldn't even find if I let Windows search online!)

Bank of America transaction description links don't work in Firefox..

Beginning with Firefox 21 and now with Firefox 22.0, I can no longer edit the descriptions of transactions in my online Bank of America checking account. Clicking on the links has no effect. This function worked in earlier versions of Firefox and it does work in the current version of Internet Explorer. Bank of America tech support blames Firefox for the incompatibility.
Any suggestions will be appreciated.

The offending extension was Ghostery 2.9.6. (an extension that monitors and suppresses tracing). I have now disabled it. Thanks again for the helpful suggestions.

Dropdown menu links don't work when on certain page of my site

Hi guys,
I've created a site that has a dropdown menu.
However, when you go to a certain page on the site on a mobile device (tested on iPhone), the drop down links don't work.
You can check out the page here - if you go to this page on an iPhone, the Facility and Capacity buttons have dropdowns but the links don't work...
Does anyone have any thoughts as to what the problem might be?
Thank you for any help and hope to hear from you.

I'm having the same issue with non-working iWeb Page links. This was the first site I built on my iWeb, and posted on my .mac account. Everything works on iweb, but once I "publish all to .mac", the links become inactive. I've reset and tried everything but can't figure out what the problem is. Check it out.

Play Slideshow and Subscribe links don't work in IE

Hi, I published a site with the newest version of iWeb and the Play Slideshow and Subscribe links don't work for my friends who use IE. Also, only some of the pictures will open when clicked. Many of them do nothing when clicked.
Here's an example:
http://web.mac.com/jconstant/Scotland/Golfing.html
The site works with Safari and Firefox (both Mac and PC) but people with several different versions of IE experience the same problem.
Any ideas on how this can be fixed?

Thanks for your reply. The problem is the whole page is one image and there should be several clickable areas which point to different links.
To solve this we have put a textbox over the clickable area, disabled the background and stroke and then right clicked on the textbox and used the hyperlink option to turn the whole box in to a hyperlink.
We tried several free PDF convertors which couldn’t handle this combination. Then we trailed it with the full desktop version of Adobe Acrobat Pro and it worked a treat. Unfortunately the client didn’t have that software so we signed them up to the online PDF convertor from Adobe and that isn’t handling it.
Here's the sample document: Dropbox - sample-link.docx we have been doing the tests with.

Some of my links don't work

Hi,
Two of my links don't work. I've done 'select all' and there is nothing covering them and they are not touching anything. If I move them right up the page they work. I've tried them on other pages as a test and in some places they work and others they don't even though they are not near or obscured by anything.
They are the two 'Read More' buttons towards the bottom of the home page: -
http://web.me.com/susiegosling/robertgovier.co.uk/Home.html
I've spent hours on this and run out of ideas - can anyone help please? I'm on iWeb version 3.0.2 (489)
Many thanks
Susie

Susie:
I tried putting your "Read more" image on a couple of test pages here:
http://web.me.com/phelpssculpture/Site/home_2.html
They link back and forth and seem to work fine.
I copied it to a page, selected it, enabled as a hyperlink, chose "one of my pages" as the hyperlink, and then published to mobileme.
If that's a standard hand made menu at the bottom of your page I don't see why it would interfere.
Hope you figure this out. David

Upgraded to CS5; TOC Links don't work in the created PDF from InDesign

We recently upgraded to CS5. When we convert our InDesign User Guide to PDF, the main TOC links don't work. The TOC does function from each chapter page but not from the main TOC. We have done our normal steps in Acrobat to link them. Same issue with various user guides that we have. Any suggestions would be great. Thanks

Links don't work and Resolution Low

Hi
Just made 2 temp pages for my site, published to a folder and used Transmit to FTP upload to my serverspace which is hosted by yahoo.
The files transfer over but for some reason none of the hyperinks work at all and the resolution of the page is much lower than how it looked in iWeb which was pretty crisp. Anyone experience this problem? I urgently need to get the links working. All help appreciated!
Thanks

I've got a similar problem with links. They work fine on my mac and some pc, even my Palm Treo can access the site's links. But several pc users swear the links don't work. I made a test page with microsoft word and posted on .mac and it's the same problem. Anyone know what could cause this?

Links don't work when site is published

Help! In iWeb all my links work from the home page to other pages, but as soon as I publish it, the links are dead. None of the links on the home page will work. See for yourself http://web.mac.com/rbrooks007

I put in a new logo that no longer overlaps the links. I moved my custom navigation well down into the main body of the page, but when I publish the page they still don't work. The only link that works is in the bottom panel of the layout. Is there any way to make links work in the center section of the page? Or custom navigation in the navigation bar area? I guess I'm confused as to where I can put links that will work.

Links don't work after publishing

Hi! I'm new to using IWeb and I have recently encountered a problem:
When I publish the content to a folder, the pages that I initially designed, don't appear exactly the same in the new folder. The links in the navigation menu don't work in the new folder (except the ones in the "home page") and some of the text is not displayed the way I designed it...
I'd appreciate if you could take a look at my website and try the navigation bar out to see that some of the navigation bar's links don't work. Why they work in the main page and 2 other and not in all of them?

I've got my fingers crossed! I think I've got it fixed! Thanks so much to you and everyone who's posted here. I DID have a text box within a text box and it was in the back(ground). This has just been so frustrating. This was my first shot at doing a web page....not to mention being new to the Apple arena. (I've had PCs, literally, for years). I appreciate your patience with someone learning the ins/outs of YOUR world.

Somehow your whole page text images etc has been
rendered as one big image, which overlaps the nav
bar
http://web.mac.com/anna4374/iWeb/OrrinBolton/News_file

Check to see if the text box overlaps the nav
bar/header and move it down to fix it.

Links don't work zoomed, issue not solved?

I've been waiting for months on this issue;
when zoomed, zoomed to anything, links don't work in Safari.
I was told months ago, something is wrong with Safari toolkit.
I just updated and issue remains.
(just amazing)
<Edited by Host>

HI,
Try maintenance... the link works perfect here; Safari 4.0.5 SL 10.6.2
From the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari / Empty Cache. When you are done with that...
From the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari / Reset Safari. Select the top 5 buttons and click Reset.
Go here for trouble shooting *3rd party plugins or input managers* which might be causing the problem. Safari: Add-ons may cause Safari to unexpectedly quit or have performance issues
Since you are running Snow Leopard, *make sure Safari is opening in 32-bit mode, not 64.* Right or control click the Safari icon in the Applications folder, then click: Get Info In the Get Info window click the black disclosure triangle next to General so it faces down. Select 32 bit mode. Also, (in that same window) *make sure Safari is NOT running in Rosetta.*
  Web pages now include a small icon or 'favicon' which is visible in the address bar and next to bookmarks. These icons take up disk space and slow Safari down. It is possible to erase the icons from your computer and start fresh. *To delete Safari's icon cache using the Finder, open your user folder, navigate to ~/Library/Safari/ and move this file "webpageIcons.db to the Trash.*
bpageIcons.db to the Trash.*

Html link to pdf works ok on mac but not on ipad. adobe reader for ipad downloaded.

HTML link to pdf works ok on Mac but not on ipad. Adobe Reader for ipad downloaded. What's wrong?

Hi pwillener,
Thank for reply. The pdf’s are in a subfolder “PDF” of the folder holding the web page. The web page itself uses
. This works in full size computer browsers but not in an iPad.
My excursion through the search engine has produced the idea of adding #page = requesting page to the URL but I have not had time to try it perhaps without the = sign.

When I email a newsletter as a pdf, the links don't work

I am creating a newsletter that I want to email out and I have some text linking to webpages. However, when I send it as a pdf, the links don't work. Do I need to send it as a Word document? I don't want to have to send a document that large. Is there anyway to keep my file size small (ie pdf) and have the links work?
Thanks

Ah that is different.
It may be you are just seeing a preview of the pdf in the email, which is why the link is not working.
I would certainly not rely on people seeing even that. Most PC users do not see pdfs embedded in their email, just an attachment. Even Mac users see various results depending on how many pages the pdf contains.
I am working on newsletter emails for a client right now and the lack of standards and inconsistent results in email clients is extremely frustrating.
