Adding an HTML Snippet

I'm either going crazy or something is not right here. I have a new site in iWeb and I am trying to add an HTML Snippet to the page. Everything I read on this site or in the help pages suggests that once I add the widget to the page I should be able to double-click on it and a popup window will appear in to which I can add my code.
However, when I double click on the widget I get a blue outline around it and nothing happens. I get no window, I can't type in to the widget frame, nothing.
Does anyone have any suggestions what I might be doing wrong?
Thanks
Simon

Lorna,
I am using widgets in a couple of different ways.
First to put in a banner just decorative stuff
look here
http://www.mireillegreen.com/Frenchresources/French_ResourcesMain.html
When the page is loaded you should see some photos of paris pushing one another
and on this page I used the widget to display French news papers without leaving my site.

CODE ADDED using HTML Snippet Widget does not work

I am trying to add some code to a web page using the HTML Snippet widget and it does not work on my page. the code is as follows:
<script src='http://adn.ebay.com/files/js/min/ebay_activeContent-min.js'></script>
<script src='http://adn.ebay.com/cb?programId=1&campId=5336536214&toolId=10026&keyword= coinset+nationaruba&catId=11116&width=728&height=90&font=1&textColor=333366&linkColor=333333&a rrowColor=8BBC01&color1=B5B5B5&color2=FFFFFF'></script>
Can anyone help me to get this to work?

I got this code from Ebay. It is an Ebay partner link.

Html snippets don't work in iWeb 09.

I've not added an html snippet to my site for a while, but they've worked in the past. Now they look fine when I'm working in iWeb, but when I go to the site after uploading, there's nothing visible. If I select all, I can see the box that should be holding the stuff of the snippet. I've tried reinstalling the preferences file and that didn't do anything.
Here's one page:
http://virtualfieldwork.org/ReaLBlog.html
And another (this one you need to scroll down):
http://virtualfieldwork.org/2011_PD_Application.html
The formatting at the top doesn't match what I did either -- I made a cross through of the May 10 deadline and the updated information in red. So, there's more quirky than the snippets.
I recently upgraded to a brand new MacBook Pro and transfered everything via Firewire from my old MacBook Pro. The same problem was going on on the old computer.
Thanks,
Don

The application page (http://virtualfieldwork.org/2011_PD_Application.html) has this:

Having trouble with html snippets and movies in iweb 09

Hi I have built a site iweb2.0.4 and recently moved it onto my new machine with iweb 09 on. Basically I have been putting in videos that I have exported for web out of Quicktime. In the past I have simply added an html snippet code like this in <iframe src="http://evileducation.org/stammuraifinalcomp/ReadMe.html" style="width: 340px; height: 285px"; scrolling="no" controller="true" frameborder="0"></iframe>
I edit the ReadMe.html based on a tutorial I saw and it loads the movie after pressing the "Click to play" button. Now in 09 when I put the code in to the snippet it just shows a Quicktime symbol with a question mark. if you check the link below you can see the videos with the best I have managed to do so far which is get the new movies on but they both autoplay (I have linked in this instance to the 4kb .mov in each folder rather than the readme.html.). I don't want to just drag a video in I would like the options to view on phone or on computer etc and not for them to autoplay. Is there a new/ different way to do this now. Surely it shouldn't be this hard to get the export for web in Quicktime and iWeb to work together? The frustrating thing is if you check the link below the old movies work fine still it's just the 2 new ones. Soz for the long one!

HTML Snippets move around in different browsers

I added an HTML Snippet (Skype button) and a Google map to a web site designed with iWeb. Both of these items move up or down in different browsers (Safari, Firefox, Internet Explorer). Is there any way to lock the position of these widgets, so they don't move? The page with these problems can be found at: http://www.follow-your-nose.com/fyn/Contact.html

I have the same trouble, the strange thing is that out of 3 pages it works fine on 1, on the other 2 pages the HTML snippet moves up or down depending on the browser type.
So why does it work on this 1 page ?
Another problem I have is that links to recommend another site sometimes format themselves. I make them White Pink Grey, so in iWeb they work fine, but when published some of them suddenly being back to the original colors.
Another problem I have is that some Amazon Ads do not work in the HTML snippets, why the **** is that ?
iWeb *****, all that work for this not satisfying result.
thanks for any help you might give me....
the main concerned site is www.hongkong-experience.net you can see the problems on the what to do page, here the snippet moves as well as on the same page in german, it the french version it doesnt ??

Can't edit HTML snippets

Hello there,
This is around the third time I ask about this issue. I installed Leopard with iLife '08, and later (after I started having the problem) installed iLife '09.
What happens is, when I try to add an HTML snippet, I am presented with a blank box with a white outline, which I cannot alter in any way, save for moving and resizing it. Also, I cannot edit the HTML snippets I added before I had this problem. And finally, the dynamic preview of my blog merely displays the same blank box I described above. This happens in both iWeb '08 and iWeb '09.
The problem arose after I started poking around in folders such as /Library, /System/Library, and /Users/Sean/Library (I'm not exactly sure, as this was around four months ago). The thing is, I opened iWeb again nearly a week after, so I'm not completely certain there is a correlation, although I consider this the most likely culprit.
Please don't tell me to edit or delete .plist files, as this has no effect. Nor does creating a new /Users/Sean/Library/Application Support/iWeb/Domain work (which, oddly enough, I thought did, but it was after a Leopard reinstall).
I would really appreciate if you speculated on which file I need to restore (try adding an HTML snippet in a working iWeb, while running Activity Monitor, and browsing the files it uses?), and I can restore it using Pacifist (http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/12743) and my Leopard install DVD. By the way, is it safe to do this, now that I have iWeb '09 installed? I would imagine, since upgrading didn't fix the issue, but I can't be certain...
Thank you so much for putting up with this,
SeanDaBomb

Try Troubleshooting 101: delete the iWeb preference file, com.apple.iWeb.plist, repair disk permissions, reboot and try again.
If that doesn't help log into another account on your Mac, open iWeb, create a test site and see if you can use the snippets there as intended. If not then a reinstall of iWeb seems warranted. To do so you'll have to delete the current application and all files with "iWeb" in the file name that reside in the HD/Library/Receipts folder.
If the snippets are able to be used correctly in the other account then there's something in your account that is amiss. Post back with the results.

Adding my google map via HTML snippet not working

I have made my own site where I added a google map. It has worked for some time (oddly enough only for people who use browsers other than explorer), but recently is not functioning right.
I can embed my google map using the HTML snippet function and it seems to work fine. But when I go to the site I see a picture of the google map, but it is not interective and all the info I have added is not there.
I have to say that iweb is really querkey. I had to tell it at least 7 times to connect to a different file and each time it connects to an old file. in the end the entire page had to be rebilt before it understood what I was asking it to do.
It would be nice if it just worked the way it is advertised to work.

IT seems to work now. I just had to let it think for half a day.
Thanks anyway.

Adding Statcounter code with HTML Snippet

On an earlier thread, someone posted a message that they could add the Statcounter code using an HTML Snippet. Does anyone know how to do that (and make sure it gets put in the right location)?
Thanks,

You can add statcounter using HTML Snippet.
but if you need statcounter to track different pages then HTML Snippet will give you bad results.
Because when you add statcounter code or any code for that matter, iweb adds the code to another page aka widget(#)_markup.html and links these pages to you target pages by way of iframe element. (unless iweb'09 does thing differently, but I doubt it)
example: let say you have twenty pages and add statcounter to each of them, you will see the results point to widget(#)_markup pages and not your page URL.
You came get away with all that if you know javascript (statcounter code is javascript).
I've been doing this for years, here is my example: http://home.cyclosaurus.com/Welcome.html
scroll all the way to the bottom, see that iweb look-a-like hit counter? it's a statcounter!
So, how are you with javascript?

WEB WIDGET - HTML SNIPPET how to post myspace music in iWeb

i'm making a site for a band. i'm using the *web widget- html snippet* to insert the myspace player from a band. the bands site is http://www.myspace.com/mod39lone.
this is the code i'm putting in :
<embed src="http://lads.myspace.com/music/musicplayer.swf?n=aHR0cDovL211c2ljLm15c3BhY2 UuY29t&t=wz7NYVvdN1sD5sZn5jwqhteIJEBAWtU7cGxSvblOZr59VYuvhFOEuaUs29mG1lCNKsOUiB4 00Vl6iAOogScxHQ==&u=LTE=&a=0&d=MTc4MzA0MTgxXjExODc3NDE1MjU=" quality=high bgcolor=#FFFFFF width="450" height="345" name="mp3player" align=""type="application/x-shockwave-flash" FlashVars="culture=nl-NL"pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplay er"> </embed>
when i'm editing iWeb, the player shows up and plays the music and everything is fine! but when i publish the site, it says "Movie not loaded" when you click on it.
the site i'm currently working on is still being worked on, but i made an extra page to show whoever could help me. the link is:
http://web.me.com/henreegee/IamTokyo/Blank.html

That method can be done using iFrame code in an HTML snippet. You need to upload the Family Matters - Computer.m4v file to your server and link to it there via an HTML snippet and iFrame code. An example is in this demo page along with the code: QT movies via iFrame.
There are other ways to add the movie (the full one Family Matters - Computer.m4v.
One is to upload the file to your server and linking to it as shown in this demo page: Opening Item in a New, Precisely Sized Window.
The method you posted is explained in this tutorial: Old Toad's Tutorial #18 - Adding Movie/Video File to iWeb Page via Export for Web in Quicktime Player. To see the edits click on the buttons in steps 5a and 5b.

IWeb, HTML Snippet, and MySQL via GoDaddy (db already built)

I have a site (zigcodes.info) that is hosted by GoDaddy. I built the site using iWeb. No complaints there. I have a MySQL database and table built to store codes added by users. There is also one called "hit list" on another page, but I haven't finished coding it. I need to solve this problem before I can finish that page. So far, I've successfully linked my submit forms to the database. When a user adds a code, it does indeed populate into the database (hooray for small miracles).
Of course, doing this dumps the user onto a blank white page, but I think I can fix that with a redirect at the end of the php file used by the form. My problem comes in when I try to display the codes in the database on my page. I know how to query the db using SELECT * FROM, but I can't figure out what to do with the data after that.
I'm having a heck of a time getting the HTML Snippet widget correct in iWeb. I've seen suggestions that are all over the place, but can't seem to get any to work. I'm told that <iframe> may be a viable solution, but I am at a loss as to how. Honestly, my site is very simple and I don't need fancy functionality. All I need is a list, in table form would be nice but really not necessary, of the 30 names/codes most recently added to the db by users of my site. I can get the echo command to print headers for my data, but not the data itself.
Will <iframe> work, and if so, how? If not, what's my best bet? Should I go with a table in the HTML Snippet widget, with tags like <? echo "$code"; ?> inserted into my<td></td> content? Or, would it be best to use the <script src="activecodes.php"></script> solution with an external php file? Or am I way off on all of these? I do know that iWeb won't do it for me with it's own magic, but it seems like there should still be a way to add code into the HTML Snippet widget and display the db data on the iWeb designed page. Help?

Yeah, the code you suggested isn't live now because I always remove changes to my code that affect no change. It makes for a cleaner build later. Here are some variations of your sugestion that I tried:
<div align="center"><form name="newcodes" action="newcode.php" method="post">
<input type="text" name="newcode"/>
<br />
<input type="submit" value="Add it!" />
<input type="hidden" name="good_url" value="http://www.zigcodes.info/" />
</form>
</div>
AND
<div align="center"><form name="newcodes" action="newcode.php" method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="good_url" value="http://www.zigcodes.info/" />
<input type="text" name="newcode"/>
<br />
<input type="submit" value="Add it!" />
</form>
</div>
AND
<div align="center"><form name="newcodes" action="newcode.php" method="post">
<input type="text" name="newcode"/>
<input type="hidden" name="good_url" value="http://www.zigcodes.info/" />
<br />
<input type="submit" value="Add it!" />
</form>
</div>
I even tried this because I saw other people suggesting it in similar forums:
<div align="center"><form name="newcodes" action="newcode.php" method="post">
<input type="text" name="newcode"/>
<br />
<input type="submit" value="Add it!" />
<input type="hidden" name="redirect" value="http://www.zigcodes.info/" />
</form>
</div>
All of the above produce the exact same, unwanted result: a blank white screen with the URL of my .php file (the one that handles the form post).

IWeb HTML snippet doesn't work hosted outside MobileMe

Hi
I created a site with iWeb and used to HTML snippets.
When I publish the site on MobileMe all works fine
When I publish the site with my Dutch Web hosting company, those HTML components won't work.
The vistor to the page finds a error message instead of the HTML widget:
Not Found
The requested URL /test/Welkom_files/widget3_markup.html was not found on this server.
Apache/2.0.52 (Red Hat) Server at www.knipdoor.nl Port 80
Does anyone know what's wrong and how to solve the issue?
Look forward
Henk, NL

Does anyone know what's wrong and how to solve the issue?
It's clearly written :
The requested URL /test/Welkom_files/widget3_markup.html was not found on this server.
So go to your server and see if it's really missing.
And if you added/deleted/changed HTML Snippets, iWeb creates new widget-markup files with new sequence numbers. When you load the webpage, some widget-markup files might not be present anymore because of these changes.
Clear the cache of the browser and reload the webpage.

HTML snippet not publishing correctly in iWeb

I am attempting to add phpicalendar to my website by using iFrames. After adding the correct code inside of the HTML snippet window, the Calendar shows up inside of iWeb correctly. I then publish the updated page. When I go to the website, the calendar does not show up on the page.
I know the phpicalendar is working correctly since I can redirect my browser to it on my site and it shows correctly... It just is not working on my page. Below is my website and the calendar page:
http://www.youbelongatlife.org/AthensLifeFellowship/Calendar.html
http://www.youbelongatlife.org/AthensLifeFellowship/php/month.php

The code I am using for the HTML snippet is as follows:
<iframe src=
"http://www.youbelongatlife.org/AthensLifeFellowship/php"
style="width:1015px; height:800px;
border-width:0px;
border-color:#990033;

Can you add metatags to iWeb as an html snippet?

I was wondering if there is a possibility to use the html snippet utility in iWeb as a means to incorporate meta tags and, if so, how.
Thank you for your advice.

No. The "snippet" method loads code into the html "body" tag and your meta tags need to be added to the "head" tag part of the code.
You can add the code after you've "Published" from iWeb with any plain text editor and saving those changes.

Inserting HTML snippet in signature

Any easy way to include a countdown timer snippet in a signature block?

I have questions that you can perhaps answer regarding website building.
I've designed the Axleart website in iWeb which is Apple's easy to use but hard to customize program.
http://www.axleart.com
IWeb uses java-script based photo albums which are nice to navigate through but hard to customize.
What I want is to add a html snippet (which creates a Paypal or other shopping cart button) in the caption of each photo in the album.
iWeb doesn't allow me to edit the html or Javascript directly but I can publish the site to a local folder, then edit it there, then upload it from there through ftp to my server.
I use a program called iWeb SEO Tool to add title tags and keywords and meta tags and google analytics code. It reads from the local folder then adds the info then uploads to the server.
Each time i re-edit the site in iWeb, iWeb erases all those tags and stuff (I think). Each time I open it in iWeb SEO Tool, it reapplies all the tags and stuff that I have saved in that program.
This page shows how Cyclosauraus has added paypal buttons to a photo album:
http://www.cyclosaurus.com/iWeb3Widgets/PayPalBeGone/Photos.html
So before I try to edit the Javascript per Cyclosaurus' suggerstion, I have an important question:
If I add paypal buttons into the captions for the photos in the albums, will they get erased each time I re-edit in iWeb and make it too time consuming to be worthwhile? Is there a workaround for this like what iWeb SEO Tool does?

Add a favicon to iweb via the HTML snippet...how?

Is there a way to add a favicon to iweb via the HTML snippet?
My search on google has found many ways to do it by editing the published files, but this is more work than it is worth (since it needs to be done on every new publish).
Any ideas?
thanks
bob

bob:
There's been no way to add a favicon via HTML snippet that I've found. Using TextWrangler which can do multi-file find and replace doing it the old fashion way, post publication editing, is a little easier as described in Old Toad's Tutorial #22 - Adding a Favicon to Your Web Site.
