Corruption of index.html file

I am truly at my wit's end. My web site is hosted on Yahoo. I contracted with them before I was given a Mac for my birthday. I redeveloped my site using iWeb and have frequently had problems when uploading files. I made a small change to my home page the other day and after uploading, the page is corrupted--graphics are skewed, text is shrunken and misplaced, etc. I performed all the usual steps, clearing caches, etc., all to no avail. Uploaded several times--still no good.
Here's the rub--the files look good on the Mac; the published to a folder site works fine. The first time I called Apple about this they told me that if it's fine on our machine the problem is in the FTP you are using. I went to Yahoo file manager and uploaded the index.html file directly from my hard drive. The same problem. I called Yahoo, and after toying with it the tech told me that the html code is corrupted. He changed the web site designation in the html, and we got a different result, still corrupted. He says it's an iWeb problem.
I called Apple again--got the same answer, "It's a problem with your web host."
Here's the html code from index.html:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"><html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"><head><title></title><meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;url= http://raffellis.com/Home.html" /></head><body></body></html>
Any help will be appreciated.

Well, I solved my problem. Here's what I did. I don't have a clue as to whether this is useful to anyone but here goes:
It seems only the home page has a problem. After many tries, I decided to dupe the home page and add it as the second page. I uploaded and lo and behold the second page was fine while the home was still corrupted. So, I went back to iWeb and deleted the original home page, making the 2nd page home. Uploaded again and guess what? The home page was corrupted again! What I did next was to go back to iWeb and make my home page a simple "Enter Site by selecting from the menu above." I uploaded and now my site is fine. Not the solution I wanted but I was desperate.
The bottom line is? Beats the **** outa me,

Adobe Bridge issue with index.html files

Hi, I have a perplexing problem.... Three weeks ago, I created a web photo gallery in Bridge. I transferred it to my website via FTP and it worked like a charm. Three days later I created another web gallery transferred it to my website using my ftp and the address of what I uploaded takes me to a blank page. I contacted my web hosting support and was told it looks like an issue with my index.html file. Here is a link to the gallery that is working: www.janieblanchard/com/galleries/prettylights/index.html
Here is the link to the site that is not working:

Any advice would be so helpful, I've spend too many hours trying different galleries and uploading multiple times.
Thanks!

In Dropbox, mobile index.html file does not open in Ipad with ios7

Before upgrading to ios7 the index.html file opened to text. Ios7 was to correct this, but the file will not open in a browser.

I don't think this is a Flash Player problem, but possibly something wrong on your website.
Try asking in the Dreamweaver forum.

Updating content of index.html file of J2EE Engine

Hi,
I would like to update the content of index.html file, which is located under D:\usr\sap\NSP\JC01\j2ee\cluster\server0\apps\sap.com\com.sap.engine.docs.examples\servlet_jsp\_default\root\index.html.
I have requirement to change the html file content with latest news and we want to access this latest news through http://host:port/index.html ( to avoid authentication to server). In this html file I will plase link to connect to portal.
The problem is updated content of this html file is not displaying in the browser. It is taking from cache. How to avoid this cache problem.
Thanks

Hello,
I think you wish to change your logon screen, this will not be done simply by changing the index.html

Index.html file locks up Dreamweaver, TextEdit and Word

I've been doing design work (print & web) on the Mac for 20+ years and this problem has me stumped:
Yesterday I went to open my tried and true index.html file and it locked up Dreamweaver every time. I re-started the computer, ran Disk Utilities, deleted the Dreamweaver configuration cache file, renamed the file, downloaded a backup of the file, etc. Nothing worked. This file ALSO causes TextEdit and Word to lock up.
I can open all other dreamweaver files and can't imagine what is causing this file to dump. The file works in all web browsers, and I can even view/copy the source code out of Safari. But, when I tried and paste to source code to create/save a new text file, whatever application I'm using (dreamweaver/textedit/word) locks up. I finally created a brand new index file out of desperation, and that appears to work fine.
Does anyone have any ideas?? (Link to problem file: http://www.pencilplace.com/index_bu.html)
Thanks,
Kelli

I re-started the computer, ran Disk Utilities, deleted the Dreamweaver configuration cache file, renamed the file, downloaded a backup of the file, etc. Nothing worked.
First, you say you "ran Disk Utilities", but that is a very vague statement. Disk Utility is a tool that can do many things, so what exactly did you do with it? If you repaired the hard drive (not permissions), were any errors found, and were those errors fixed?
Second, have to tried opening the HTML file with a plain text editor like [TextWrangler|http://www.barebones.com/products/TextWrangler>? If it can open fine in an editor that won't even try rendering any HTML, but crashes all those other editors that are probably trying to render the HTML, there may be something subtly wrong with the code... though, I've never seen anything like that, so I wouldn't know what to look for.

When I load an index.html file, the page looks fine, but when I refresh, the page shrinks.

I am using Dreamweaver. I open an index.html file in Firefox and it looks fine. When I make changes, and then refresh in Firefox, the page will shrink. If I close out Firefox and open the file in Firefox, it's fine until it's refreshed and then it shrinks again.
The file has one background image that is 1024px by 768px. I made sure the browser was completely open and I have a 27 inch monitor, so there is no reason for it to shrink down.
I've opened the same file in Chrome and Explorer and this doesn't happen.
I've uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox hoping this would help, but it didn't.
Suggestions on how to make this stop?

No index.html file

OK, I'm a few mouse clicks away from publishing my new site
to my host. I was checking my files and discovered there's no
index.html file indicated. (newbie, here) Is an index file
automatically generated somehow, do I need to create an index
file....?
Thanks in advance for assistance.

... and if you rename the page you want to be displayed first
in a
defined site within dreamweaver your pages will be
automatically updated
so you avoid broken links. (say yes to update prompt)

Corruption of non-HTML files with oracle_smp_chronos.js script element

When serving a JavaScript file through the portal, the server always appends:
<SCRIPT SRC="/oracle_smp_chronos/oracle_smp_chronos.js"></SCRIPT>
which causes a JavaScript syntax error in the browser.
Why does it append this HTML element to a JS file ?
How can I stop it ?
Mik

The script only uses the event to find the HTMLEntity where the handler was originally called - it then uses this reference to locate the original handler which it replaced - and calls it.
Things really start to get messy when you use a LINK to submit a form....the original javascript probably does something like this:
if ((!form.onsubmit) || form.onsubmit()) form.submit();
Chances are, the original onclick handler did not pass the event, and the event does not get passed to form.onsubmit(). Even if it did that just pushes the error further down - because oracle_smp_chronos.js replaces the onsubmit for forms too. So what happens is:
user clicks link, this calls Oracles handler
Oracles Handler does its thing, then identifies the link from the event and calls the original handler
Original Handler calls form.onsubmit, passing on the event
but since the onsubmit method has been replaced, its actually calling Oracle's handler again, which does its thing again, then sees that the event references the LINK (not the form) so it calls the backed up Original handler
Original Handler calls form.onsubmit()
...and so on until the stack overflows.
In the version I've got, this only happens where oracle_smp_chronos thinks the browser is Netscape Navigator or one of its descendants. There is a seperate branch of code for MSIE - it uses 'this' to track back to the original code, ignoring the event. Ironicaly, the MSIE code runs fine in Mozilla 5, and any version of Firefox (I don't have a copy of Navigator v4 to test) so a better solution would be to change the browser identification code to treat everything as MSIE

Why won't my attached index.html file display properly?

Hi
It's taken me months to get my head around DW CS5 and I have finally started to produce the first few pages of my site!
My problem now is that I need to send the unpublished pages to my client for review but simply attaching the files to an email is obviously not enough! I have a horrible feeling it's something to do with browser compatibility and I'll have to re-do what's taken me an age to do in order to get them to display correctly? When I send the page as an attachment, it opens as a blank green page with just the alt text boxes displayed and nothing else.
Or is it because my image refs are not absolute urls? Which leads me to my next question... how do I know the urls without signing up to a host and publishing the site?
Thanks in advance to anyone who can help..... I'm tearing my hair out as it's already way overdue, so I'd really appreciate any help you can offer....
Many thanks, guys!

When I send the page as an attachment, it opens as a blank green page with just the alt text boxes displayed and nothing else.
A basic understanding of HTML would tell you that the files which appear in your "preview" such as images, and then only appear as "alt text" when you send this page to someone else cannot be solved by using an absolute URL since the absolute ULR is something like C:\Documents and Settings\You\Documents\Site Folder\Root folder\Images\image.jpg and there is no way the recipient of the email can view pictures in a folder on your system from their system unless they can connect to your system by VPN.
If you're just running a layout by them, you should send a screen capture of the page opened in a browser. There's no need for full functionality until they are ready to go live with it and that usually would entail a face to face or putting the files to a server if you cannot sit down with them.

Please help - index.html file crashes Dreamweaver and others

Hello -
I went to open my tried and true index file today and it crashed Dreamweaver every time. I then tried to open it in TextEdit and Word, and it crashed both of those! I then downloaded the index file from my website, which displays fine in browsers, and that file ALSO crashes Dreamweaver!
I am lost on this one. I have re-created the index file and uploaded a working one. HOWEVER, I'd like to find out what happened as this is quite disconcerting to say the least. Should I attempt to post the code here? I can view it in Safari, but that's about it. I tried deleting the deleting the personal cache file, but that did not help.
I am on CS4 for Mac, running Snow Leopard OS.
Thanks in advance for any input on where to look!

Kelli, Chris -
When DW "crashes", what specifically happens?
I had a similar issue yesterday with DW going "unresponsive" on me - it just froze when trying to open up certain pages.
Here's a link to the thread. Hope it helps.

Can't open file "~/sites/index.html." in iWeb09

I have been searching through posts and I have noticed some that are very similar to this question, but are not exactly related. My domain file worked fine before upgrading to iWeb09. Now I get the error: can't open file "~/sites/index.html." Has anyone found a way to import the iWeb08 domain file into version 09?
Nice job Apple! How can you release a product that does not correctly import or update the file from the previous version(s)? There is no way that you could have missed this in testing...

You will never be able to open this file with iWeb, because, as it states it is a User/Sites/index.html file and iWeb cannot open this files - anything with html on the end of it is already published and iWeb cannot open this. It is not the same as your domain file.
Go to User/Library/Application Support/iWeb/domain.sites and try opening your domain file, rather than something that is already published. iWeb cannot import - at least not published pages.

Binding a button in the "index.html" page to a Javascript .js file via Mobile JQuery

I'm unable to bind an event to a button in the index.html file, without calling onclick("eventHandler") within the button element. Please note that the event handler was declared in a seperate .js file and included in the index.html file.

Not enough information. Can we see your code or a link to your online test page?

[warn] mod_bonjour: Cannot read template index file '/System/Library/User Template/English.lproj/Sites/index.html'.

Operating System: Lion 10.7.5
I was getting this warn in the logs
[warn] mod_bonjour: Cannot read template index file '/System/Library/User Template/English.lproj/Sites/index.html'.
and looking to the System directory on;
System/Library/User Template
User Template was locked and onwned by the System.
I went to the terminal and type;
sudo mkdir "/System/Library/User Template/English.lproj/Sites/"
sudo touch "/System/Library/User Template/English.lproj/Sites/index.html"
re-started Apache
The warn went away gracefully

I am adding here that this seems to be a permissions bug since the "User Template" is owned by the system and no one else have access to it. The warn went away temporarily because the permissions still wrong in that directory. I changed the permissions on the User Template directory to read and see what is inside and it loops to the user system structure. Most of the directories in the system structure are locked leaving only the public and sites directory with the correct permissions. Inside of the sites folder have a blank index.html file with read access.
So I am not sure if what I did until now will resolve the warn issue.
What I did was to get info on the User Template directory, authenticate as root and change the permission to the admin to read only. That is harmles since not even the admin can change its content. The warn seems to have gone away for now. However, the point here is to find out if the permissions should be read and write for the admin instead of read only or some other conf. More latter!
