Changes in nav bar are seen in iweb not on site

I had to change the name of the home folder (apparently vertical lines are not allowed). I changed it to "Home" and the changes took effect in iweb. The changes are not occurring on the live web page. The original HOme page folder name remains. The links from two other pages back to it do not work. WHY in the world will the nav info not update?????? I republished the site to a folder (many times to keep trying to make it work) and re-uploaded files to internet (many times). This is extremely frustrating. I've already spent hours finding a work-around to another problem with this program (regarding splitting up multiple sites since iWeb won't let you publish them). Does anything in iWeb actually work?
Thanks for your help.

If it's not looking right in the local folder, it will likely not look good when you update it at your website.

Best would be to post the url to your website so we can take a look.

    I have created a site with iWeb. I have replaced the iWeb Nav bar with a vertical one I made myself. Problem is, my top button disables itself (and the animation doesn't work) if it overlaps into the "hidden" nav bar area (indicated by a blue rectangle). I can cmd click and drag it into this area, but then all the rest of my site is pushed down the page. Don't know what to do about this. I don't know how to bring the rest of the page up without dragging it also into the designated nav bar area. Also, by doing this, is it affecting my site in ant way? see my site here at www.steveburrowsimages.com
    The home page is with it all draged into the nav bar area and the about page is with is outside the nav bar area (notice that the top button does not animate or work as a button.
    Getting confused here. Anyone got any ideas?

    Well, you made a good start with SEO by getting rid of the iWeb default navigation since it doesn't help the spiders and, out there in the real world, there are more people than you would think with javascript turned off in their browsers.
    One of the downsides of iWeb is that it doesn't allow for the alt attribute in the img tag. Its well worth adding these to give you extra keywords even if you have captioned all your images. Use iWeb SEO Tool for this...
    http://www.iwebformusicians.com/Search-Engine-Optimization/Tags.html
    iWeb, just like most drag and drop software, creates a huge amount of code which causes the pages to load slowly in the browser. Running you files through an optimizer will help to reduce this problem and further reduce the size of image files even beyond the initial optimization you do before loading them into iWeb...

  • The nav bars are too sensitive and interfere with page navigation

    Seems to me it would be far better if the nav bars at top and bottom (chrome) were activated with a two-finger touch. The things pop up at the least touch. They should be secondary to swiping, tapping to activate pan and zooms, etc.
    I'm refering to the behavior within the Content Viewer on the iPad.

    Completely agree.  A settings page where navigation can be tweaked - with a default set at two finger tap - would be great.  The nav constantly popping up really interrupts the reading flow.

  • IWeb not updating site changes, even overnight!

    Hi iWeb-experts,
    Having problems with iWeb and have waded through the site and other forums and yet to find a solution.
    Site is marccheckley.com. I successfully moved the site before MobileMe closed shop and made updates to the site a few months back.
    Now I'm trying to upload further changes but iWeb has stopped functioning. I get no status that the site is being changed, as it was previously. And I know this has not happened as I have it linked to my Facebook and no "updated website" has popped up on my Wall.
    I even left it overnight to update website changes and still nothing. Even clearing brower's cache etc. I tested the FTP connection all good and nothing been changed since my last updates a while back.
    All 'pages' of site remain red, not updated in iWeb.
    Really not sure what's happened. Nothing but probs since the closure of MobileMe, my podcast is still on hiatus due to linking problems, now website issues with iWeb.
    Anyone have an idea and fix?
    Always appreciated.

    If you are using the iWeb FTP to upload make sure the box next to "Update my Facebook profile when I publish this site" is unchecked. Checking this box prevents the FTP from working.
    Also make sure you have no bad file names with spaces or special characters - particularly image files. This will halt the upload process.

  • IWeb not saving site / page content disappears

    I have tried to create a website several times with my new Mac running leopard and ilife 08.
    I am pretty familiar with iWeb but this has me confused. I create a site with several pages....then save it. Publish it to .mac and everything looks fine.
    Then I close iWeb and when I open it later the pages are there, and in order, but there is no content on them at all...just a white screen. No theme is even selected.
    My library/applications support/iweb folder does have a domain file but it is just called: Domain with no extension.
    Anyone that can lead me in the right direction? Thanks

    Hi all,
    Just reading the topic at hand and I have exactly the same problem. Upload the website, its online but when I close and reopen iweb all the contents are gone from the pages!!!
    However, I imported my old iweb domain from my old macbook pro and all the contents are there to be seen. Its only after I added more pages that the content on the new pages ONLY has disappeared.
    A real pain in the neck cause I cant figure out why one batch of info (the old info) is in tact but the new stuff is missing!!
    HELP APPLE PLEASE!!!

  • IWeb not publishing site updates

    Starting today - 5/18/09, A site I have in iWeb is no longer publishing updates. The site publishes to my mobile me account, and is redirected to my domain. This is the page in question - http://www.pitassidesigns.com/Portfolio/Web_Design.html
    Besides the code iWeb puts out I have added the favicon code, and Google Analytics Code. For some reason when I made some changes to some images, they do not appear as they should. The first image should be swapped with the second, and now the second image is gone. The google code, and favicon code it still there, and I usually have to re-input it after updates. Also the page in iWeb remains red, as if it was not published. I tried to delete that page and file folder from my idisk, and iweb doesn't publish a new one as it should. I tried restarting and nothing. I tried publishing the whole site, and it remains the same.
    Any help would be great, I don't feel like manually writing this page out in Dreamweaver, iWeb is so much easier.

    Ignore this. As usual when I decide to post this it works on the 10th try. Not sure what happen there.

  • Links in navbar work in iWeb, not on site itself

    Hi Folks,
    I got rid of the iWeb default navbar and made my own. I am linking to other pages within my site. They are set up correctly in the inspector, and in fact, when I click on the links in iWeb, they take me to the correct place. However, when I am online, on my actual site, the links don't even show up as links. Just text.
    Can anyone help?
    Thanks!

    You should be able to select the textbox containing the C3, D3 etc and bring it to the front - you should be able to select this and do it, because otherwise you wouldn't have been able to make them into links in the first place.
    If you can't select it, move the shape containing the 'click on a group' text out of the way, select the C3, D3 textbox then bring it to the front, then move the 'click on a group' text back into position.

  • Replacing nav bar--is there a way to change all pages at once?

    I widened my site off of an iweb template and now the nav bar looks bad since it's too narrow and there is text that appears outside of the nav bar background. Since I can't change the color or looks of the nav bar, I've decided to put my own on top of it. This means if I have any changes down the line, I have to change the nav bar on every page. I have a page that nothing is linked to where I save graphic elements, so I can copy it, and paste on each page--a hassle when you have 50+ pages, and no idea how many pages I'll have in the end. IT was nice to have the automatic nav bar and header/footer, but boy how stupid to not be able to edit them unless you're a tech geek and understand all the coding!!

    a hassle when you have 50+ pages
    You should try it when you have 170+ pages!
    No, there is no simple way to change all pages at once. I use exactly the same method as you are doing now. Having proper user definable templates is on my wish list for future releases of iWeb.

  • Another question about altering nav bar templates

    I'm currently building a site using the "modern" template in iweb. So far I've been able to do a lot of customizations, which I love, but the nav bar is driving me CRAZY!
    I've read a bunch of other topics and from that I've managed to create my own text box nav bar, but it's still not 100% what I'd like. Here's what I'm looking for:
    I love the modern template except the rollover colour in the nav bar being red. I'd like the colour to be dark grey when rolled over just like it is when you're visiting the current page. I made my own text bar in that way but now when I'm on a specific page, that page heading in the nav bar doesn't stay highlighted in dark grey. Is that clear? I'm not familiar with web design and the language that corresponds so if there's anything I can do to clarify, please let me know. I need to know how I can get both: nav bar rolled over in dark grey AND the current page (page being viewed) in dark grey. If anyone has any information to help, I'd greatly appreciate it!
    Thanks in advance,
    S

    Hi OT!
    Thanks for the help. I've already done what you suggested but it unfortunately doesn't answer what I'm looking for.
    In the modern template, when you're on a specific page, that page's header in the nav bar is dark grey whereas the other tabs in the nav bar remain light grey. I don't want the tabs the change after they've been clicked, rather, I want to keep the function of the template and simply change the rollover colour. Two questions:
    1. Is there are way to make a text nav bar do the same thing as the template so when I'm viewing a specific page, the page's nav bar tab remains dark grey but goes back to light grey when I'm viewing a different page?
    2. Thank you for the link with the HTML snippet. I had found that link last week but couldn't find it again. I don't know how to alter HTML so while this seems like a great option, I'm wondering how it works. If I put an HTML snippet in the header, is it viewable when the website is live? Is there a way to view the source code of a page?
    I apologize if these questions seem rudimentary....I'm quite new to all of this!!!
    Thanks for all your help!!!

  • Page from a Template - Nav Bars Not Coming Across

    Have Dreamweaver CS4 on XP
    I have a template that has an absolute placed div for the
    header box...and just below that a 50 pixel absolute placement div
    to hold the navigation bar.
    The nav bars have 8 different buttons and several sub menus.
    They look fine and work fine on the template and they preview in
    firefox fine. In the template the header and the nav bars are not
    write enabled...but the AP div for site content is write enabled in
    the copy pages.
    Here is the WEIRD behavior is CS4. In my first child copy
    page of the template...I can NOT see the nav bar...but if I upload
    it to the server and look at it there...the nav bar is visible. The
    nav bar has 2 java scripts that have to be loaded in the root...and
    they are there.
    In the second page I made...the nav bar is NOT visible, it
    does not preview, and it does not show up when I call it from the
    server.
    Whats UP with Dreamweaver or Me? I have had soo much funky
    behavior with templates and resulting pages.
    Can someone help figure this out with me. Some post talked
    about making the z value of the nav bar be 1100 or 1300 because of
    some IE problem...so I did that trying to avoid problems with the z
    value being off.
    Thanks for your help

  • Adding a button to Sticky QooQee Nav Bar

    I am using the Sticky QooQee Nav Bar and I have 7 pages/buttons that need in the nav. BUT the bar only comes loaded with 6. I can't figure out how to add an additional button.
    Also, is there a way to use drop downs with this menu bar?
    Many thanks!

    Menu items in sticky nav bar are state buttons , so you can add more state button in the group and then link to pages.
    You can create drop down, but this would need a redesign of menu.Use panel or compositions and insert states button in trigger containers, sub items to target container.
    Thanks,

  • Created site in iweb 08 and posted to netfirms... the pages are all loaded up but there is no nav bar, it comes up on each page as a small black dot. How do I get the nav bar to load up and show?

    I created site in iweb 08 and posted to netfirms... the pages are all loaded up but there is no nav bar, where the nav bar should be is only a small black dot on each page. How do I get the nav bar to load up and show? It was a disaster loading up my site as it changed the case of the letters and at first no pages were seen, so I had to go through and change the letters that were supposed to be cap, back to cap in every file. I don't know if this has something to do with it or not. The tech support doesn't have an answer. Please let me know if you have any ideas and solutions. Thanks bunches!

  • Can You Help with an iWeb Nav Bar Not Displaying Problem?

    Hi Everyone,
    I have had a website that I created with iWeb and have successfully hosted with me.com (Mobile Me) for the past 8 months. I added a new page yesterday and ever since then, the Nav Bar has stopped appearing on any browser. This happens on every page of my site where there should be a Nav Bar.
    I brought up the Safari "Activity" window and when I load one of my pages in, error messages pop up that may hold the clue for someone helping out. (I'm not sure if this has anything to do with the problem.)
    All the "http://..." components (not shown) load in okay, but the following "https://..." components below are followed by a "bad server certificate" error message.
    https://www.me.com/st/1/sharedassets/2.0.4/Common/Scripts/Site/iWebImage.js

    No, I haven't tried deleting the page I created yesterday. I'm quite proud of it and would hate to can it. I will, if I have to, but before then, I was hoping someone else familiar with this problem had a solution they could share.
    Thanks.

    Hello
    I am having the same problem. I have had my website with mobile me for nearly 2 years and have never had a problem.
    However my Nav Bar has disappeared on the published website. When I go into iWeb it is there. I have made some changes and republished it - a few times - and when live you can only get to the Home page, there is just a dot where all the other pages used to list.
    I brought up the Safari Activity window and it tells me that only 13 of 15 items are there. It doesn't show any other errors.
    I would love some help on how to fix it.
    Thanks

  • I have 5 html pages that share a common header, footer, and sidebar. how do i use my nav bar to change the content of the body without duplicating a lot of code?

    i have 5 html pages that share a common header, footer, and sidebar. how do i use my nav bar to change the content of the body without duplicating a lot of code? thank you!

    i inherited the website. It’s for a non-profit and is not very
    sophisticated, and neither am I in webdesign. It currently has multiple
    pages that are identical except for that body section, so whenever i change
    the navigation (in the sidebar) I have to update every html page.  I want
    to have one basic page, and just call in the different body content based
    on the link the user selects from the nav bar. How can i do that using a
    script? i am using Dreamweaver.
