Can't edit html generated by iweb

files generated by iweb do not seem to be editable
i have tried dreamweaver 8 and it does not seem to like the code generated by iweb
anyone else having the same problem?

iWeb seems to make a couple "index.html" files that don't really contain anything. Odd.
The index seems to have this meta tag:
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;url= iWeb%20Try.html" />
that jumps to the content page...
But the regular content pages (welcome, etc) open OK in Text apps and Dreamweaver for me.

Can't edit html snippet

I have numerous html snippets that work fine. However I can't edit them any more. When I click on the snippet in iWeb I used to get a window with the snippet code to edit. That doesn't happen any more. Same thing for new html snippets: No edit window to place code in. Don't know when it stopped working since I haven't tried editing snippets for several months.
Thanks for your help - Volker

Thanks. That was helpful. Deleting preferences or repairing permissions didn't help. Reinstalling did the trick. FYI: You can install iWeb straight from disk individually without Pacifist.
After all of that I found out what had caused the problem in the first place: I had moved the iWeb application into a sub folder of the Applications directory. That seems to be breaking this feature only. Any thoughts on moving applications? Is there a best practice not to?

Can't edit .html file in dreamweaver?

Why can't I edit .html file in Dreamweaver CS 5.5 when it is not attached to a template?
I have always been able to edit it every other time I have opened the file (since I built the site over two years ago).
Now each time I try to edit it in Design mode, no matter where I click in the file the whole page gets a dark grey overlay and I can't get a curser.
I am still able to edit the code directly but I do not want to be restricted.
The last thing I did the last time I opened the file was paste Google Analytics code in just before the </head> tag. I did this to all the files on the site but this is the only one that isn't working. I have tried taking out this code but it makes no difference.
I am using a 6 month old Macbook pro.
Can anyone help me?

In your stylesheet you have -
.container { overflow:hidden; width: 100%;}
.container2 { overflow:hidden; width: 646px; margin:0 0 10px 0}
Try right clicking on the page in Design view and then selecting Element view > Full and see if that helps.

Plain Text will not display correctly, how can i edit html?

Hello,
my beloved MacBook Pro has been a godsend, however i have found that it is incapable of displaying Plain Text, in Text Edit, Safari (View Source), or Dreamweaver's code view. Thus, i am finding it impossible to view or edit html.
the way it displays is either all jumbled and overlapping, or spread out over impossible distances. sadly i cannot post a picture.
we also have a G3 and a G4 in the house, both running 10.3, and they also have the same issue with plain text.
I have not found any topic on this, here or in google. can someone please help?
thanks,
Tobias

Tom, very kindly, has got me most of the way to a happy ending.
one or another font file or cache was causing the problem. i removed all fonts from Home/Library/Fonts, then ran FontFinagler, rebooted, and things display correctly.
now i must figure out how to establish which fonts are suitable suitcases to be used.

Can't edit html

I have Dreamweaver CS5. Someone asked me to look at their website as it wasn't displaying correctly in IE v8. I downloaded the page and opened it in Dreamweaver but I can't edit the html. I When I tried to delete some code it didn't move.
Any ideas what's going wrong please?

Hi,
1. In my IE 8, the page is correct, your findings "Someone asked me to look at their website as it wasn't displaying correctly in IE v8." I can't confirm.
2. The site uses templates. If you need suggestions for their treatment you can find them here for example (look for Murray's hint):
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/700322?tstart=0 or in other threads if you use DW threads search funktion.
... or you come back with the concrete terms for "When I tried to delete some code it didn't move."

How can I edit HTML code that was previously inserted?

Inserting HTML code is easy enough - Object -> Insert HTML...
But editing the code does not seem possible. It seems that it's necessary to delete the HTML object and reinsert it to make a change. What am I missing?

Right click. I'm on my phone, but an option like "Edit HTML..." should be among the choices when an HTML embed object is selected.

Editing .html files in iWeb!

Hello, mutual iWeb users!
I work as a freelance webmaster, and after converting to mac a year ago I have been using iWeb as my favorite editing program. I recently made a web page for a company, and it was published using a one.com domain. I reinstalled my macbook's software, and the files were lost from iWeb. I have been able to download the .html files, pictures and everything using FileZilla, but how can i upload these files and continue editing in iWeb?
Thanks in advance. Daniel.

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. You didn't make a backup of your user folder before reinstalling the system? Then, as Wyodor pointed out you're up a creek without a paddle. (My vernacular)
Chapter 2.3 of the iWeb FAQ.org site has tips on using some of the existing files in the published site in the reconstruction of the site.

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.

Noob Used iWebsites, now can't edit/find site in iWeb

Used iWebsites to allow for multiple sites with .Mac. Now "New Site" is the default (even if I delete it). When I launch iWeb "New Site" keeps reappearing
(with no files visible in iWeb).
The site I'm looking for (my original site, which still comes up online) is visible in the iWebsites dialog, but I can't find/open/edit it (even when I make it the "default").
Please help! (Is it lost forever...just floating out there in cyberspace??)

You shouldn't have to do that on the Mac or Windows. Only thing I could find that would suggest loading files from there is a tutorial by David. And although I would normally agree with him, keeping the files in a system library folder for a testing environment is really unnecessary. I'd recommend moving them into your /Users/{username}/Sites folder. There is already a modification to the apache server to recognize that as http://localhost/~{username}. Or install something like MAMP that is in the Applications folder.

Can you ad HTML to your iweb page?

I am really new to building a website thing. My questions is: I want to add a Auto Response program like aweber.com to my iweb site. I think you add HTML lines that have spots for Email, name, location for intrested ones to fill out. Can this be done? or is there another way I can achieve this? Thanks for you help.

With the FaceBook app, or with one of the 3rd party Facebook apps available for the iPad.

Can I create html emails in iWeb?

I see those html emails with the colours and the embedded images and links to the website. The programming doesn't seem tough but I don't know how to create them and then how to send them.
I use Entourage for email but am not married to it, and wondered if anyone had any resources. I'm looking to do a newsletter style email (images links to site, etc.), not that different from an eVite, but I've not heard of anyway to create them.
thanks

The way you do this currently is to create your web
page, open it with Tiger Safari, and use the menu
item for emailing the contents. However you may need
to put your page on a server and I think pages
created with iWeb may not work that well -- you would
need to experiment.
I just did this both ways. Creating an email from an iWeb site hosted on the internet worked OK... but didn't pick up the background graphic, tiled.... maybe I just didn't wait long enough! (Ha!)
And I did it from the local files on my computer, (Publish to Folder), and it worked much better, picking up the background immediately.
So....open the page you want (index.html) in Safari>File>Mail Contents of this Page.
Would work GREAT just for doing an email Newsletter with Graphics and such!

Can you edit a host's provided templates in iWeb?

I am looking at Hostgator to host my simple business site. They have a ton of business site templates, but apparently you need some software (like FrontPage or DreamWeaver)to edit them. Can you edit these templates using iWeb? Are there other hosts with templates that are compatible with iWeb?

Follow this link for iWeb templates:
http://www.ipresentee.com/
If you're lucky they still have [a free template for Christmas|http://www.ipresentee.com/iPresentee/iPresentee-_ChristmasGift.html].
They (Hostgator) have a ton of business site templates
Download the templates you like and use the layout to re-create the page in iWeb. Drop the images on your iWeb canvas and rearrange them.

How to edit html in iWeb

How can I edit html in iWeb?

but info was needed on how to edit / add additional coding as no obvious way of designing a typical 'Contact Us' form included in iWeb
Then you should have said that in your topic.
And if it did not answer the question, then say so in the same topic.
Anyway, the HTML Snippet was invented for your purpose.
So find the Contact Us code, usually a form, and paste it in the HTML Snippet.

Opening pages in dreamweaver generated by iweb

Does anyone know why you can not open pages generated by iweb. It seems strange that you can open them in safari but can not in dreamweaver.
what makes the html files not compatible with other programs?
thanks

I have the problem that Dreamweaver open a Site I
create in iWeb, but all is different.
For problems with Dreamweaver, best to go ask on their forums:
http://www.adobeforums.com/
But I imagine only an update of Dreamweaver will make it work the way you want.

Can't access HTML code in Eloqua

I want to enhance the functionality and looks and mobile email template. For that I am trying to access HTML Editor to modify HTML code. How can I edit HTML codes in Eloqua10?

Hello Hammad,
When it comes to email mobile templates, the feature that makes them a mobile template is the CSS code that can be accessed by going to the toolbox as demonstrated below:
What this means to you is the following:
While you cannot access the full source code of this email -- because it is a templated email and not an html uploaded email, you have two options to customize it:
1) You can delete ALL the contents that come with the template -- the default image and text, and then add your contents to it.
2) You can upload an email and use the css code that appears in the screenshot above.
Hope this helps.
Thanks,
Tarek
