Web pages posted to .Mac using iWeb do not render correctly on IE

Okay, let's face it - most people out there use Internet Explorer (IE) to view web pages. I just published my web page using iWeb onto my iMac account. The web site renders correctly on my Mac, but does not render correctly on my PC using IE at work. Several other people using IE saw similar problems. For example, IE does not show the links until you run your mouse over them. Also, the text renders as an image (you cannot select text individualy). What do I do to ensure that all the world views the site correctly? Thanks.

Welcome to the discussions, stoma.
You'll have to essentially dumb your site down to IE level. Get rid of the cool effects, the transparencies, the rotated images, basically everything that makes iWeb so impressive to use. Make a nice plain site with no frills and you're 90% of the way to near 100% IE compatibility.
Take all of your images and edit them outside of iWeb (like with other web applications) and that's another significant chunk. There will be a few bits left over, but some of those will be things you can't do anything about (like some of the page elements being created as .png's). You'll be as close to IE compatible as you can get with iWeb.
Post your URL to let other users post as to what your SPECIFIC site would need.

  • Printing web page to pdf file using Acrobat Standard 9

    When I print a web page to a pdf file, the text in the file is mostly garbled.  I have no problems in creating pdf files from MS office or other software.  I have Windows 7 Home.
    Any help will be appreciated.
    Thanks

    I do have Internet Explorer 9 and I was able to print web pages correctly following  your suggestions.

    There were problems with IE9 on it's initial release and that may be what you are seeing if that is the browser (you did not indicate the browser and that may be a key). If you have a different browser you might try that one with the same pages to see if it browser related.
    By saying garbled it sounds like the fonts did not make it or you have selected "Use Local Fonts" in Acrobat. Try checking the latter first. Then check if the fonts are embedded in the PDF by checking the document properties (ctrl-D). If they are not, go back to the browser and select the press or print job options before printing and see if they get embedded and if your problem is resolved.

  • Why is Web Page Auth on MAC Filter Failure not working on Anchor Controller?

    Hi,
    I have implemented a Guest WLAN solution as per the recommended design from Cisco. We have two internal WiSM2 controllers providing services for Internal secure SSIDs. Both these controllers are members of a Mobility and RF management group.
    Two 5508 controllers have been installed in our DMZ for resilience and have been placed into a separate Mobility group. All controllers (internal and external) have been linked together as mobility neighbours in a full mesh and a new SSID for Web Guest traffic has been anchored to the controllers in the DMZ.
    Web page authentication works perfectly fine, but I cannot for the life of me get the MAC filtering override to work, i.e. if a MAC address is present, do not redirect to the splash page for web auth.
    I can get MAC auth working by iteself, but not with the Layer 3 option selected for web page auth on mac filter failure.
    I know I can get around this by just creating two separate SSIDs. But the business is used to just having the one SSID for all guest traffic.
    Is this a known limitation when anchoring SSIDs to controllers in the DMZ ?

    Hi Nicolas,
    I guess they changed their mind to add this fix in 7.0MR3. Now the fix will be in 7.2 release planned to be release in FEB.
    There is a documentation bug opened to add this to configuration guide :

  • What is an easy web-page creation program for use with MacBook Pro?

    Can anyone suggest an easy web-page creation program for use with MacBook Pro?  I have used FrontPage with my PC, but am changing to a MacBook Pro.

    It largely depends on your skill level. Do you want to write web page code, or do you want to just design something and have it turn into a web page automatically?
    If you are more of a designer, try these:
    RapidWeaver
    Freeway Pro
    Muse
    If you want to write web page code, try these:
    Coda
    BBEdit
    Dreamweaver
    If you really don't want to write the code and want the best experience for your viewers, and you want to spend the least amount of time on it, my recommendation is:
    No program at all.
    Instead, sign up with a web site company like:
    WordPress.com (hosted by them) or WordPress.org (hosted on your server)
    Squarespace
    Wix
    The reason is that these companies have fully operational, nicely designed web site templates that you just fill in with your words and pictures, and they are ready to go. They also give you these benefits:
    Already designed to the latest web standards
    Already designed to resist hackers
    Already designed to work on all browsers
    Already designed to automatically adjust the page for readability on desktop, laptop, tablet, and smartphone screen sizes
    Already designed for accessibility
    Already designed for Search Engine Optimization so that your page will be found on Google
    Already designed with social media links built in if you want
    It is not like the old days where you build a site in Front Page and you assume it will only be seen on a desktop computer. If you build it yourself with a web page program, do you have the knowledge to make a site that works on all of the different web browsers and mobile devices, and is friendly to search engines and social media? If you don't have those skills, working with a website company can be a lot better, faster, and more reliable than trying to hammer all of that out yourself using code in some app.

  • Where do Aperture created web pages exist on .Mac?

    Where do Aperture created web pages exist on .Mac?
    After creating the web galleries I copy the link and view the page in Safari. Where do I see saved pages on .Mac?
    Thanks for any help.
    Dual 2.0 G5   Mac OS X (10.4.8)   17" PowerBook 1.67

    there's a lot of good info in the link referenced above...A simple answer to your question (IMO) is that the pages get created by Ap (look in your iDisk, a folder named "Sites")...now getting it referenced from "homepage.mac.com" is another (mystery) story. In the past two days, I've tried to get answers from .mac support and by the time they get around to looking into the situation (not being able to reference the pages from homepage), the problem is fixed and it works. I suspect there is some directory linkage built that happens during an overnight maintenance routine or something....but the bottom line for what I'm seeing is:
    1) web pages created outside of homepage (from Ap for example) are not immediately available through that server;
    2) they must be added through some other mechanism, but seem to be available the next day
    3) for someone with basic html knowlege, there is probably a way around this, but I wanted something reasonably easy to do...
    I hope this helps...it IS frustrating.

  • Devanagari font in layed out in Indesign (using IndicPlus) does not export correctly to a PDF.

    Namaste InDesign gurus,
          I have a problem at hand. Wondering if anyone has encoutered similar problem before? Any help is greatly appreciated. And if you're in San Francisco bay area - I can buy you a lunch :-)
    Short description: Devanagari font in layed out in Indesign (using IndicPlus) does not export correctly to a PDF. All the ligatures are assembled and displayed in the PDF.
    Adobe Indesign Version: InDesign CS5 Design Premium - regular U.S. version (not ME).
    Steps I took:
              I purchased CS5 Design Premium and also purchased the IndicPlus plugin to author sanskrit documents in InDesign. I create Sanskrit text using either of the following methods.
    1) Itranslator
    2) Paste the devanagari from the Itranslator directly into InDesign or paste it first into MSWord and then copy from MSWord and paste it to Indesign.
    It doesn't matter how I paste it. After I apply the IndicPlus character/paragraph style so that the sanskrit looks good in InDesign, when I try to export it to a PDF. The PDF does not display the ligatures currectly. It just lists all the characters in order without assembling.
    I've spent a lot of money buying CS5, IndicPlus and then I can't even create a simple PDF document from InDesign. It is very frustrating.
    Has anyone been able to successfully export a sanscrit document from InDesign PDF ?
    (Please let me know if my problem description needs more fleshing out).
    I could create the PDF from MSWord directly but I'm trying to use indesign to layout my book. If InDesign cannot export to PDF I'll just have to use MSWord for my book layout. I've spend probably scores of hours trying to learn InDeisn and formatting my book content - seems like it is all going to be waste.
    Is MSWord the best choice or only choice for laying out books that have sanskrit text in them?
    -Ravi

    Has anyone been able to successfully export a sanscrit document from InDesign PDF ?
    Not Sanskrit, no, but plenty of Hindi, Nepali, Marathi, and other languages written in Devanagari script - so it should be possible. I don't even use IndicPlus, which by most accounts makes working with Indic text much easier.
    1) Itranslator
    I've never seen this, but a quick Google led me to the homepage of ITranslator for Windows, where I saw this:
    Itranslator 99 (Build 1.3.0.86)  & New Beta Version
    uses 8-bit true type fonts and is compatible
    with Windows 95/98/ME/NT/2000/XP.
    For more information, click here.
    Itranslator 2003 (Build 2.0.0.38) & New Beta Version
    uses 16-bit Unicode-compatible fonts and is working
    only on Windows 2000 / XP / Server 2003.
    For more information, click here.
    So, if you're using ITranslator 99, there's the problem - those "8-bit true type fonts" won't work in InDesign. Can you post a sample of the text you're trying to paste into InDesign? Name the font(s) you are using, both in Word and in Indesign, and if possible make a small sample of the text available for us to test. It's also possible that InDesign is using a substituted font, which could cause this problem. So, if the font name in InDesign has brackets around it, you know that InDesign doesn't actually have that font installed and is auto-substituting. Also, if you go to View -> Screen Mode -> Normal and the text is highlighted pink, you know that the font has dropped. (Unless the highlighting for dropped fonts was turned off - check in Edit -> Preferences -> Composition and make sure that "Substituted Fonts" is checked.
    Also, for what it's worth, is there any way you could Place your text instead of copying and pasting? This may be cause of your problem - but even though it probably isn't, it's still worth a try.
    Lastly - no, I've found InDesign to be superior for typesetting for almost all languages, but the learning curve is pretty steep, and many of the problems faced by people working in non-English languages are not easy to research when you have a problem.

  • Adsense problem on iweb pages posted on .mac

    with iWeb we have a perfect tool to publish easily from our mac on me.com
    BIG PROBLEM: Google adwords does not allow you to post via mac on me.com and wants you to use the complete and total reference, instead of the simple and easier sitename.
    trying to talk to google people is fairly impossible, like talking to a wall. they don t understand that
    a. me.com is the general mac site for iweb users
    b. posting an ad with something like me.com/mepossem/user/bienvenidos.html is a bit counterproductive, and www.alicanterestaurante.com is 'a bit' easier.
    makes one wonder what the intelligence level is at google ...
    conclusion: don t lose your time if you have an apple mac website, and just simply go to yahoo. unless someone can come up with a solution ....

    ok Roddy, you made your point we should not host on .mac etc. so if someone can (maybe) come up with a solution that has any sense?
    or are we down to 'forget about .mac'? not very interested as i want to keep the management of the site to myself, due to frequent changes I have to make into it, and both .mac and iWeb suit me perfectly. I am about once or twice on national TV or radio here in Spain, and updating the website with this combination of tools is what I want.
    imho Google are just simply being fastidious, as the real influence is about nil ....

  • Want better web pages - will Aperture work with iWeb?

    Slightly disappointed in the dearth of good web page creating options in Aperture (you'd think they'd be better, no?). Can I get iWeb and create web pages using my Aperture photos?
    -Josh

    Slightly disappointed in the dearth of good web page
    creating options in Aperture (you'd think they'd be
    better, no?). Can I get iWeb and create web pages
    using my Aperture photos?
    Yes, iWeb can access your Aperture images if you've enabled previous. I tried this and found iWeb's web galleries quite horrid. After experimenting with a variety of options, I settled on customizing Aperture's web galleries and grafting together pages created by the two programs. iWeb works fine for throwing together some top level pages, and you can then hang Aperture web galleries off them as external links. Several folks have posted instructions on how to do this, and one fellow assembled a nice PDF.

  • Web page compatibility between Mac and Windows

    Hi, I was wondering if anyone has had any compatibility issues with opening a Java based webpage on a Mac. The web page works in Internet Explorer and Firefox on my VMware Fusion, but I cannot seem to get it to work on my mac directly. The page is a user interface for an Alcatel-Lucent networking device, so unfortunately I don't have many details. The user guide specifies for Windows to disable "next-generation Java Plug-in" in the Java control panel, but I wasn't sure how to do this on a mac. I tried using the IE Tab plug-in on Firefox on the Mac to see if that might help, but I just received a message that I was missing plug-ins, but Firefox wouldn't specify which plug-in?? If anyone has seen issues with some pages not working on the Mac, but working on Windows please let me know.
    Thanks,
    Eric

    IETab does not work on Firefox on the Mac because there is no IE natively on your Mac, and that extension was designed solely for use in Windows.
    The reference to the 'Next-Generation Java Plugin' is also a Windows only issue. If you wish to review your Java Preferences, do a Spotlight search for Java Preferences and you should see it in the Applications results.
    Lucent has long been associated with Windows only hardware since the advent of the 'WinModem'. Hopefully you aren't stuck with a Windows specific device.
