Calling out for some kind of IE eliminating proceedure

Hi All - Firstly, I am new to this but I seem to be one of the many of who have an issue with their iweb site being viewed in Internet Explorer.
My site is - www.bmdcontracting.co.uk it looks fine in Safari and Firefox.
My aim is to fix it, I know some people say put a mark on your site saying 'best viewed in Safari/Firefox etc' but I have looked at many iweb sites and lots of them look great in IE so why can't mine?
Please can everyone help me put together some sort of step by step process/check list for people like me who aren't developers to try and fix their sites bit by bit. I have just started doing a few things that others recommend....
So far I have done this:
As there is an issue with Nav Bars - in the Page inspector tool, I have unticked 'display navigation menu' and created my own
In iweb Preferences - tick the box that says 'show text imaging indicator' and 'optimize images on import'
As there is an issue with fonts, I have applied a shadow to my text so that they are now images (a yellow box appears in the corner indicating this)
Both of these tips are from www.allaboutiweb.com and www.iwebformusicians.com really great sites.
However, still not fixed anything for me, shapes I have created in iweb (box as a background, box for nav, header etc) don't appear in IE.
I am obviously going to have to learn some code (no idea what I am doing) does anyone recommend a good code editing program to use that isn't too complicated, found a couple of helpful websites www.w3schools.com www.lynda.com that will hopefully help make some things clear.
I do plan on documenting all of this and I will post anything on here that seems to help me out and that I think will help anyone else in my situation.
In the meantime if anyone has looked at my site and can tell me what's wrong with it and can give me any pointers (please bear in mind - in a non developers language) I would be sooooooooooooooooooo grateful.
Hopefully my determination will leave me with some hair left on my head:-)
Thanks

Probably the single biggest NO here is the browser background. It has to be loaded for every page and uses up download time.
A lot of your images are PNGs which take longer to download than JPEGs whether optimized or not.
Converting text to an image also increases file size and should be avoided where possible.
Try to use web safe fonts and colors....
http://www.iwebformusicians.com/WebMusic/FontsandColors.html
Take screenshots of your PNGs and convert them to JPEGs.
http://www.iwebformusicians.com/Tricks/PhotoMagic.html
I do not allow iWeb to optimize my images and have this function turned off in preferences.
Have a look at this section on image optimization.....
http://roddymckay.com/PhotoSatellite/OptimizeImageFile.html
I optimize my files with Web SIte Maestro before uploading to the server to dramatically improve download time in Safari and to get the pages to load in IE at all!
WSM will optimize JPEGs and PNGs and will also convert PNGs to JPEGs if you select this in the Preferences/Extra menu.

  • CO12- Yield quantity gets zeroed out for some plants.

    Hi Experts,
    While confirmation using CO12- collective confirmation, i get a message "Total confirmed quantity does not equal planned quantity"( ECC6.0 system). Moreover for  few plants, the yield is zeroed out, eventhough i enter the planned qty and after confirmation is executed, the yield shown is zero for those confirmed operations.
    1. Why does the message "Total confirmed quantity does not equal planned quantity" appear eventhough i enter the planned operation quantity for confirmation?
    2. Why does the yield quantity zeroed out for some plant? (maybe for some material also)?
    Any pointers would be of great help.
    Thanks,

  • Canon MP780 Color Option, Quality and Media, etc crossed out for SOME apps

    Hi,
    I have a Canon MP 780 attached to an old G4 macbook (running 10.4.11) that I'm using as a print server via printer sharing. I'm sending print jobs from a MBPro 2.4 GHz Core Duo running Snow Leopard (10.6.2)
    Before I updated to Snow Leopard, all the MP 780 printer functions worked perfectly. Now the Color Options, Quality and Media, Duplex Printing, Special Effects, Borderless Printing and Duplex Printing are crossed out for some application, but not for others. For example, I can print in Duplex from Microsoft Word and Pages, but not from Preview or Safari.
    If I do the print job directly from the old MB that's acting as the print server, all the options are available, so this seems to be related to either Snow Leopard or printer sharing.
    I have downloaded and installed all the latest drives/software I could find in the CanonUSA website.
    Any thoughts on how to get these print services up and running for all my applications?
    Thanks!
    Pete

    Hello Pete,
    What you are seeing is a result of using a 32bit driver when using a 64bit application. Preview and Safari are 64bit, while MS Word and Pages are 32bit.
    The solution is to use a driver that is written for 64bit (or more so the plugins used with the driver, such as Quality & Media, are 64bit). However, checking the Canon web site, there does not appear to be a 64bit driver available for your model.
    So, you could look at forcing the 64bit apps, like Preview and Safari, to open in 32bit mode. With the application closed, find its icon in Finder > Application. Select it and perform a Get Info (File > Get Info or Command I). The Info window that appears will have a button that shows 'Open in 32-bit mode'. Tick this checkbox, close the Info window and then open the application. Now you should find that the Canon plugins such as Quality & Media should be available without the line through them.

  • Looking for some kind of Docking Bar...

    I am not exactly sure what to call the item I am looking for, I can only describe it. I need some kind of small bar to just keep all my coords and wires plugged in at home at my desk so that when i come home I can just slap the bar on the side of my macbook pro and be done with it.
    I know many are going to say to just stop being lazy and plug them in but my roommate has a computer on the same desk and its a pain in the butt fishing for all my wires every time I come home. I also don't have the room nor the money to afford a full docking station.
    Thanks for your advice

  • Open in Camera raw grayed out for some tifs not others, bridge

    I searched but could not find a solution. CSR. PC. Windows xp. In CS4 Bridge the option to open with Camera raw is grayed out in the file menu for some tifs and not others - It shows up grayed out on the file menu, but doesn't show at all when right clicking,  even with the files where open with camera raw is not grayed out in the file menu. I have purged the cache, deleted all temp files, closed both bridge and photoshop and still I cannot open the tif in camera raw. It is grayed out. If I go to the pic I touched up yesterday the option is not grayed out. Does anyone know how I can fix this?

    RJ Dougall wrote:
    My intent is to batch process in Camera Raw -- my preferences have always been set to use camera raw for TIF and JPG files, and I have never had a problem accessing Camera Raw either directly in PhotoShop itself, or Bridge.
    Please e-mail me a copy of your response to [email protected]
    Uh, this is a forum...not an email tech support organization...
    As for your issue, it's simply not clear what you are doing or what issue you have. Can you not open the scanned images via Camera Raw from within Bridge? If you can then you will need to go through each image and adjust the ACR settings before you would be able to process them. Depending on how you set up your actions, Photoshop's Batch may or may not catch settings...that part is pretty complicated.
    Also, I would question your use of JPEGs vs TIFFs. I would suggest scanning as 16 bit TIFF and running those through Camera Raw...you will be loosing a lot to scan into 8 bit JPEG and then re-running through Camera Raw. You really want to be sending ACR 16 bit images...

    Dear Park
    It seems you have assigned Routine 008 for the table which has the combination of some description and applicable to domestic.  For the same combination, in VK13 / UTXJ, you have maintained a tax code for a domestic customer and you are trying to create a domestic sale order.  Actually routine 008 is meant for Exports and hence the problem.
    If my understanding is correct, Go to V/07, select the condition type JIND and click on "Accesses".  There check whether any routine is maintained under the tab "Requirement".   If so,  just remove  those routines and retry your process.
    thanks

  • No audio (line-out) for some QT and all Real Player

    This is strange.
    This link, which uses Quicktime, will only play SOUND via my internal speakers: http://www.umeportal.com/player.aspx?fid=393&ftyp=3&pgid=7&hid=13728&fp=qt
    While this link will play SOUND via external speakers: http://www.apple.com/getamac/
    Same with all the HD trailers: http://www.apple.com/trailers/ The the SOUND plays externally ok.
    Here's another one that will ONLY play from internal speakers: http://www6.islandrecords.com/site/promo/quicktime/killersbonesquicktime.html
    Real player, will play SOME mov files externally, but most others mp3, mpg, mov, will ONLY play via internal speakers.
    Ok, what gives?

    Ugh....nevermind.
    I removed USB Overdrive and external audio started working for everything.
    This is strange becaues I have been using USB overdrive for about a week w/out any issues.
    At the time I noticed the problem...I had been using QT to convert mov files to h.264, mpeg4, Sorensen 3 files and for some reason, using the QT export features -- with USB Overdrive installed -- mucked up audio play back. Go figure.

    What might be the reason for those documents to get errors during
    Thanks for any hints!
    Dilettanto

    Thank you Steve,
    enclosed are my answers:
    1)  What versions are you using (Rights Management ES, Acrobat etc...)
          --> RightsManagement Server 8.2
    2)  Does this occur an ALL pdfs?  If not please postone that causes the error.
         --> No - this occurs only to some PDF-documents that come from external sources and that have been PDF-stamped by some
              external tool.    
              Other documents can be RightsManagement-protected just fine
              But how to tell, what part of those documents is the reason for the null-pointer-exception?
    3)  Can you successfully apply a policy manually using Acrobat Pro?
              will try this right now
    4)  Are you only trying to apply a policy or is it part of a larger process?
              Regarding LiveCycle Server, ApplyPolicy is the only action to be done
              We are using code based on the ApplyPolicy Sample

  • Export option grayed out for some "unknown" reason.

    I have several clips I've downloaded from the net (mostly music videos), and some of them I can export into any type of file I like (such as iPod video), but some of them I can't export at all. Is there some kind of copyright protection embedded into these files? Is that even possible using Quicktime?

    Yes, there is a flag that can be set in a file so that it is saved as un-editable. In this state, you can't export, copy, save or in any other way alter the movie using QuickTime Pro.

  • I can't figure this out for some reason.

    I want to use a template in DVD studio pro and have the button text fade in at a certain point and have it be highlitghed when it is selected. It seems like it should be a simple thing but I can't figure out how to do it.
    Thank You
    Vincent LeGrow

    You would need to animate the background then bring the overlay in (fade in fade outs as part of movie.)
    Take a look here for how to do it (this example uses some items from DVD SP templates but would work otherwise, you can skip down to step 8 or so)

  • Printing is randomly cutting out for some users last few days with no known cause

    1.  Printers deployed from Server 2008 print server with group policy
    2. Seemingly at random, a person will lose the ability to print to the HP printers (all running Universal driver 5.70)
    3. Print jobs will enter the print queue, and be immediately deleted. (no errors or recorded events observable)
    4. A different user logged into same machine will be able to print.
    5. After some (?) time, printing will return to normal.
    Been happening for several days now to various people. No obvious system changes or common threads in affected people or systems. I've upgraded to v5.90 of the Uni driver and restarted the server. No additional reports today, but it's randomly occurring.
     Any ideas on what could be causing this would be appreciated. Given all the other goofy problems I've had with this print server over it's life, I am tempted to just flatten it and rebuild from scratch. Or Exorcism.

    Hi Jim,
    Have we tried to enable the Operational Log in printing?
    To enable the Operational Log,  do the following:
    1.   Open
    Event Viewer
    2.   Expand
    Application and Services Logs\Microsoft\Windows\PrintService.
    3.   Right-click
    Operational and choose Enable Log.
    Besides, Have you checked this printing troubleshooting article? For the other related logs and debugging tools, please see:
    Troubleshooting Windows Server 2012 Printing(Same as in Windows server 2008 R2 environment)
    Before we start to rebuild the printer, please take a try with the steps mentioned in the above article.

  • My computer randomly logs me out for some reason. Help?

    It happens sometimes when I'm chatting on RockMelt or AIM, but that's not really significant since I chat with people all the time on those services without having problems. I tried repairing my disk permissions and thought the problem was solved, but apparently it's not because it's still going on. Could it be a background process I don't know about, could I have a virus, or what?

    Launch the Console application and look at the file list on the left side of the window. Under System Diagnostic Reports, you will see one or more crash logs for either "WindowServer" or "loginwindow." Post the most recent one.
    By the way, despite what you read in these forums, repairing permissions is a waste of time unless you have a specific indication of a permission error, which you don't and probably never will.
    There are no known Mac viruses. Mac malware does exist, but it doesn't cause the kind of problem you're experiencing.

  • Why do web pages print out in some kind of weird language or binary code?

    When I look at a web page (ie. on-line order from Staples) it looks normal. When I go to print it, the formatting is bizarre - I cannot even reproduce it for you as it is full of marks and squiggles. Numbers do not come out at all.
