? characters on web page when published

I am getting ? in diamond shapes on my site at different locations within text and at areas where I use option n for ñ. This does not show up in iweb or when I publish to a folder only when I put it up on my site. www.nohoch.com
Suggestions please?

Fix the settings on your ftp program to do things in UTF-8:

IWeb movie pages, when published -- no movies

my iWeb movie pages, when published, came up lame, no movies, only areas where the movies should have been, all with faint Q's with question marks inside them
LONG STORY SHORT, MAKE SURE YOUR MOVIES (as well as being located in your MAC HD and its proper MOVIE sidebar, that you CUT AND PASTE all your MEDIA YOU'RE USING IN YOUR iWeb SITE,
CUT AND PASTE PHOTOS, MOVIES in dupe form right into your desktop where you've published your iWEB site folder.......that way, any browser, a .mac or outside web host, can locate your media better so that you don't get GHOST MEDIA PUBLISHING LIKE I DID...hopefully this will help both of us
ALSO, in any iWeb website (named SITE in your desktop, or iDisc, or whatever or wherever you publish it, or even if you can find where on earth on your HD it is published, remember, if you have any MEDIA at all, NOTE IN MY CASE MEDIA MEANS MOVIES (not photos, so I'm not speaking to the photo blogs people, only iWeb MOVIE folks) anyway, all the compressed poetry video clips are right there, in a separate folder called MEDIA, that is every iWeb site, when published to .mac or a folder, which contains movies in .mp4 format or .mov format, all these will appear right in your site's MEDIA FOLDER....
this is important as a concept....
also, if you're using an outside web host like me (so that all my movies will LOAD QUICKLY), don't forget when FTP'ing (file transfer protocol'ing) your iWeb changes to your web host from your original MAC HD folder....remember to also send to the FTP/outside web host your MEDIA folder inside your SITE
(which i only realized a couple hours ago, and which totally was a revelation, so i'm passing it along to you guys)....
if you'd like to know exactly what i do here in nyc, i video the poetry scene, now for 20 years, and create educational poetry DVDs.... and my website is today's equivalant of operating a virtual business.....
....oh-oh, since I video poetry in NYC and go direct into a standalone DVD recorder to make single tracks of each poem...and then through Popcorn's mp4 program, I can make a movie file
then..through QuickTime Pro's streaming compression system, reduce that file size to under 5 MBs,
well, after lots of headaches, i am able to have 200 streaming video clips on an iWeb site, which apple itself said was impossible, that iWeb was only geared for less ambitious projects
okay, so that is cool..until yesterday, when i began the whole process again with completely new poetry video clips....
first, the iWeb pages were designed correctly...that took time....then i published the new pages to .mac, and only some of the movies showed up on the published pages, some had a big bright Q (which means the browser identifies the movie and will within 20 seconds load that movie), but what wracked my brain all day and night yesterday, why were there areas where the browser only showed the faint Q/Question mark inside (meaning the browser cannot find the movie)
so what the.....!
also i'm going from an iWed Folder to an FTP so I can use an outside web host and bypass THE MUCH SLOWER .mac browser (too slow when using movie clips for visitor to your site having to wait valuable seconds for **** movie to appear...with outside web host process almost immediate)
.....any similar experiences?

I am having the same problem.
Now I am using iWeb 2.03. So when I uploaded the site to my server I see the Media folder you were talking about, and the videos are there. But when I go to the website I still get the faint Q with the question mark.
Here is my site. http://mnorland.dadeschools.net
The videos are supposed to be in the Athletics page, then go to football highlights.
Any help would be appreciated.

Why does Firefox always block any link I try to open going to a web page when I don't have pop up blocker on?

Why does Firefox always block any link I try to open going to a web page when I don't have pop up blocker on? First off they are not even pop ups....your crap blocks everything and don't save user names &/or passwords when you have it checked. Also in your tutorials about solving this issue says it has the word "OPTION" .......no, it never says option to allow you to bypass it and etc. Only thing is says is "ALLOW" . That would be nice , but the problem is it will not allow it from then on. It only allows it right then and then you have to refresh...after that to open again it blocks it again.....HOW STUPID?!!!!!
It always say that this is preventing this page from automatically redirecting to another page. THIS IS WHAT I AM TRYING TO DO...GO TO ANOTHER PAGE........I DON'T NEED YOUr BROWSERS PERMISSION TO DO THAT. THAT IS WHAT A *%#$&*(&*%$$%% BROWSER IS FOR TO GO TO OTHER PAGES......THEY ARE NOT POP UPS!!!!!
YOU STUPID BROWSER ACTUALLY BLOCKS EVERYTHING AND THAT SUX!!!
HELP!!

Weird Characters on Web Pages

I am suddenly seing weird "symbol" or "dingbat" characters on web pages instead of letters, and this is happening on all browsers I try (firefox, safari, explorer). How do I fix this?

Most likely it's a bad font or font cache. Helvetica Fractions and Times Phonetic are the most common. See this note:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=932561&tstart=0
If that doesn't help, email a screen shot (tom at bluesky dot org).

I keep getting internet explorer cannot display web page when trying to download itunes. This only shows on half the page where the download link would be. My internet connection is fine.

You won't see anything obviously related to iCloud, Jimmy. But if you go to the home iTunes Store page while logged into your iTunes Store account, you should see a Purchases link now under the Quick Links header. That's the only part of iCloud active at this time.

How can I have Safari save my opened web pages when I quit so that when I open next time they will be there?

How can I have Safari save my opened web pages when I quit so that when I open next time they will be there? I can do that in Firefox automatically, but can't seem to find how to do it in Safari. I'm thinking maybe it's just now possible yet?

From your Safari menu bar click History / Reopen All Windows from Last Session.
Or..
Glims can re open tabs from a previous session if that helps.

Compatible with Snow Leopard v10.6 and Safari 5+ and it's free.

Automatically load web page when select topic

I've been able to perform this functionality in RoboHelp (winhelp), but have not yet figured out how to do this in RoboHTML.
Upon topic load I would like a web page to display within the topic pane. In RoboHelp, I did this by creating a html jump from the topic heading. It looked like this:
JumpHtml(`http://www.cerner.com')
Does anyone know how to do this in RoboHTML? It doesn't seem that I'm able to format the topic heading to automatically load a web page when the topic loads.

Hi there
Configure the topic as a redirect.
Check out my Tips and Tricks file for info on how to redirect.

Garbage characters in web pages

Produced a page in iWeb then uploaded it to my webspace using Secure FTP. Now I have garbage characters in it with Â wherever there's a return and a bunch of garbage for every apostrophe.
Obviously I have some sort of problem with the character set but how to get rid of it?
I've tried copying text over from a TXT file without the returns, adding them later in iWeb, but it made no difference.

When I open iWeb
and open this project, I have no idea which set iWeb
will end up using. I have to check the file
attributes afterward to figure out which one was the
set "du jour".
You are aware that iWeb does not open published files, right? It only opens the Domain.sites file where its data is kept:
http://homepage.mac.com/thgewecke/iwebdata.html
Also iWeb cannot register any changes you make in a published site with an editor, so that needs to be redone every time the site is republished.
Normally if you have multiple projects it would be a good idea to keep their data in separate Domain files.
PageSpinner file open function cannot see any folder
or file created by iWeb except the one called "Sites"
and that one is empty.
I have no problem using PageSpinner to open the files created by iWeb. Since iWeb does not create anything called "Sites," I'm wondering if the Open function was going instead to Home/Sites or some other location rather than Home/Documents/HTML or wherever you published your pages.
As far as my ISP goes, I'll take your word for it,
but I can't imagine an ISP of this size getting this
wrong and not receiving/responding to complaints.
None of the major companies devoted to hosting web pages which most people use have this problem as far as I know. ISP's for whom hosting is a sideline sometimes do not pay attention to the issue and leave their server set to force all browsers to use ISO-8859-1 encoding. They will not likely get any complaints if their clients are all using Roman script and traditional web editors which default to that setting as well.

How do I remove old web site when publishing new site with same URL in iweb? Hit replace when publishing new iweb site (so we could have control over changes) but new site name is attached to old via a / after our www address we want to keep.

I hit the replace when publishing the new iweb site (so we could have control over changes - last one was not an apple based site) but new site name is attached to old via a forward slash and underscore after our www address. Makes it very messy with a very long web address. Original address now followed by iweb site name followed by name of first page? Went for iweb as not that computer literate - all going so well?! Cheers for help in anticipation. Have to get off to work now but be great end to week if we could be sorted tonight. Rupes

Well yes of course, if you try and publish through iWeb there won't be an option to publish without your site folder which is exactly why I told you to download Cyberduck and use Cyberduck to upload your site to your server having published your site from iWeb to a local folder. That is what you need to do if you don't want your site name to be included in yoru url.
It would have been easier also if you had used Cyberduck initially to connect to your server and delete your old site yourself - at least that way you would have deleted the correct files rather than relying on your hosting service to do it and doing it incorrectly.
Download Cyberduck and then select the publish to a local folder option from iWeb and then use Cyberduck to upload your site to your server, but rather than uploading the whole site folder and separate index file, upload ONLY the contents of your site folder and then your url will be http://www.domain.com/page_name.html.
It really isn't rocket science!

Playback menu blacked out on web pages when viewed with a PC

I created my web page on my Mac, then published it. It looks fine on my Mac, but when I view my site on a PC, the video page doesn't have the playback buttons visible under the movies. Anyone know how I can fix this so that my friends and family can see the play and stop buttons?

If you are going to load stuff as QuickTime you need to offer the download for PC users that don't have it.
http://roddymckay.com/VisualMedia/QuickTime.html
This will only work for those that really want to see your movie.
Another way is to put the movie in an iFrame which calls up the QT plugin....
http://roddymckay.com/VisualMedia/QuickTimeiFrame.html
You need to adjust the frame size to fit the movie and then add about 17px to the height to show the control bar.

MS Word Special characters in web pages

I am running into an issue when I paste text from MS Word documents into web pages (JSP) forms.
Characters like dashes paste. Then the form is submitted and when later retrieved and prepopulated from the DB, they come out garbled.
The database accepts UTF-8 encoding, and I changed the charset on the JSP's to use UTF-8 encoding, but none of this helped.
Could anyone suggest where else can I look for the problem?
Thanks.

Thanks,
I am reading your article and attempting to implement the changes...
I am trying to understand something - my system is Vista, whose default encoding is Cp1252. Must I change it to UTF-8 as well, or is it sufficient to force UTF-8 in my application?

Muse failing dropping pages when published

I have noticed that Muse is failing to publish all pages in my site. I had to call BC support thinking it was there end because the web pages was not available on the server when I checked my pages. All my setting was intact and accurate, I checked these pages to be exported from the site plan. I had to use ftp client to publish the missing pages.

Did you try selecting "All Files" in the "Options" panel of the "Publish" dialog?
If any manual changes are made to the files/folders published via the Muse Publish feature, Muse will be unaware of those changes. If you use an FTP client application to alter files hosted on BC, there's a good chance you'll need to select "All Files" in the Muse "Publish" dialog "Options" section in order to get Muse back in sync with what's on the published site.

How do I stop Firefox from creating untitled web pages when I try to send email from a web page. The only way I have found is to turn the computor off and then reboot. I don't have this problem when using Internet Explorer

Every time I click on a web site that has an email option the browser starts making untitled web pages and never stops unless I turn the computer off. It is very frustrating to not be able to use an email option when offered by a web site. The only way I can send email messages on the Firefox browser is to go into my hotmail acct. and copy and paste the addresses. I don't have this problem when I use the Internet Explorer browser.
