Does iWeb utilize html 5?

Pardon my ignorance, I'm relatively new to the web design side of things. Just wondering if iWeb utilizes html 5 technology? Apple seems to be a big proponent of it and yet, to the best of my knowledge iWeb doesn't generate html 5 for its websites. I'd be interested in any knowledge or thoughts any of you can pass along on this topic.
Cheers,

HTML5 is very much in its infancy. Its the browsers that need to be updated before it will be much use and universally adopted.
Have a look at how the various browsers differ in the way in which they display and audio player...

IE up to and including V8 don't support HTML5. V9 beta is the first to do so.
When around 60% of PC users still use IE V 6 &7, how can we move on?

  • Where does iweb store its gallery information?

    In which file does iWeb store the information which allows it to construct a gallery page?
    I have a site with a Gallery page, which I publish to a local folder, then upload to an ftp server for a live website (www.ayrmodelboatclub.org)
    When I update the gallery by adding a new gallery page, iWeb updates the initial gallery menu page showing the little photobooks of all my galleries.
    If I publish to a local folder, I can go to the gallery and double-click gallery.html which then displays the page correctly in my browser. If I upload the Gallery folder to the site, then go to the site and choose Gallery, it goes to an older version of the page. I can't see how that is possible, but I figured it must be because I have not updated a file which tells iWeb which gallery thumbnails to display on the page (or perhpas the number of thumbnails to display).
    I can't find that file.
    I have tried updating Gallery.html an streamloader.html and Scripts and the Media folder.
    I have also tried uploading the whole Gallery folder again (an again, and again) but can't get it to update.
    I have had this problem time and again, on more than one site.
    What am I doing wrong?
    If I set iWeb to update the site directly, it creates a folder within the site, called AMBC (the name of the site within iWeb) and that functions perfectly, but because it is a folder within the main site directory, it adds AMBC to the addresses, so anyone who has bookmarked the pages can't see then because the address has changed.
    If I delete all the files on the server, except the functioning AMBC folder, then take everything out of the AMBC folder and put it at the top level, that fixes the addresses, but the old version of the Gallery now displays instead. I think it may not be the old version, but may be simply the wrong number of thumbnails that are being displayed and iWeb is reding one too few thumbnails. But where is that information stored?
    I'd appreciate any help with this. It's driving me daft.

    I just went through this with a GoDaddy site. I think I am on the track to the answer, since the site is now working correctly. There are a couple of areas where failure to update occurs that I have found so far. iWeb saves all it data in a single file called domain. It has a default location but you can move it and have several 'domain' files for separate sites. Iweb will default to the last used domain file. Just double click on the one you want to use.
    The main concept:
    On your computer the file can be loaded properly, but on the web it is wrong. Remember, that when the HTML is written out by iWeb, it creates a name_files folder and puts stuff in there. The name_files may be in a different relative location from its location on your computer.
    In iWeb you set up the location of your site to publish to. Remember that it creates the site each time, so you actually select the location above your 'Name' site in the hierarchy, which is often 'Sites' on a Mac. So don't choose 'Name' as your location, chose 'Sites.' The links will work within the 'Name' location but will not work if a link strays outside that location after you publish it. If you publish to 'Name' then your new site will be 'Name' inside your already published 'Name' site. When you look at the site you may not realize that although you can see the new file in a location similar to the location on your Mac, the file that is linked to by your published page will be the one inside the Name_files folder on the top level of your host site, not inside a folder which is inside a folder....
    If you FTP, then in iWeb, choose publish entire site rather than publish changes, and drag the entire site to the upload window of your FTP client, and replace all the old files. If you don't want to do that, then if you are using an FTP client such as Transmit, you can actually rename the old files on the server and keep them as backups. You can also drag files around on the server directly, but you will break any links to them in any old pages that are not updated.
    Probably something I explained is wrong, but my GoDaddy site is updating properly anyway. :-D At first I was copying the corrections into every name_files folder on the GoDaddy site, until I realized that iWeb would do that for me properly if I published everything and replaced everything.
    Sorry I am confused about this myself!

  • Where does iWeb save the site file?

    Sorry guys but this is a lazy man's question.
    Where does iWeb save the site file when you click the save button?
    Is it saved as a seperate file or is it hidden within the program?
    I not talking about publishing it.

    Yes there is...I'll refer you to Apple's own technote...
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303670
    But you probably don't want to keep it on your iDisk. The file could be huge and the back and forth network bandwidth involved may make iWeb opens and saves unbearably slow. I've always recommended one of those cheap USB flash drives to keep a potable Domain file on.
    Has this been "helpful" to you?

  • Does iWeb support Make Ref Movie

    Does iWeb support makerefmovie? www.apple.com/quicktime/tutorials/refmovies.html
    Is there anyway to create a quicktime reference movie that contains pointers to alternate data rate movies which are best suited for the user's connection speed?
    TX

    iWeb writes page code that calls the QuickTime browser plug-in.
    QuickTime on a PC can't open WMP formats.
    All you can do is use "link to file" to upload your .wmv file.

  • Does iWeb 08...?

    I'm currently using an older version of iWeb that uploads every part of my web site even if I haven't made a change to every page in the site. Because I have a lot of audio on the site (podcasts) this takes up quite a bit of time.
    Does iWeb 08 upload only the pages that have been modified when you publish or is it still going to upload EVERYTHING every time? I'd like to upgrade but this is my critical issue and I don't want to pay for it until it's addressed.

    Hi again,
    so you have to publish all to folder but you don't necessarily have to publish all to server

  • Does iWeb place a limit on the size of jpeg that can be uploaded?  I'm putting large MB jpegs on site and they are being compressed down to kp.  My site is not doing this.

    Does iWeb place a limit on size of jpeg that can be uploaded to server?  I'm placing large mb jpeg files and they are showing up on web as kb files.  My provider does not put any size limit on what I upload.  Is it iWeb?

    Here is the problem, I've done this, set the right settings in iWeb as indicated above and yet the images are still small images.  Is there a cache in iWeb that may need to be cleaned out or a setting somewhere messing me up. 
    I normally put web size images however for this one album I need them to be full size.
    Any other help full suggestions? I appreciate all your help.  I'm guessing there is something simple I'm missing.

  • How does iWeb track files for incremental updates to .mac

    In short, my question is where does iWeb keep track of which pages have been published to .mac so it can make perform an incremental update?
    My father is in Alaska using iWeb 1.1.1 to maintain a blog and photo gallery that, when published to .mac, has grown to just over 100MB. His connection speeds vary from port to port, but are typically around 128k and cut out after a bit of use. The challenge now is that iWeb is trying to upload the entire site which is failing every time due to the internet connection.
    While visiting him, I saved an identical domain.site file to my computer that I would like to publish using my high speed connection. Following this, my goal is to convince his version of iWeb that it has been updated without having to transfer the entire domain.site file and this is the part where I could use some help.
    So far I have published my copy of the site. I have then tried emailing him copies of the files: index.xml.gz, assets.site.plist, ServerCachedResources.plist, sharedassets.plist, and com.apple.iweb.plist which I accessed using the show package contents on the domain.site file. He has transfered these to domain file however it still wants to upload the entire site. Are there any other ideas on where iWeb tracks pages for incremental updates?

  • Does iWeb automatically compress photos for faster loading? Or should I do it first? Thx

    Hi everyone, when I look at the large photo in the "white" theme's Welcome template, I wonder when I drag and drop one of my photos in, does iWeb compress the photo for faster loading? Or should I compress them before adding to site?
    By "compress" I mean, make photo file size smaller! :)
    Thx! :)

    In iWeb Preferences you can optimze images on import. But I always scale most of my images to 800 x 600 pixels prior to importing. I do this in Graphic Coverter which also makes the image files smaller by taking unneeded information out of the file, which also reduces the file size.

  • Why does iWeb upoad the original photo in addition to the blog photos size

    Hi,
    why does iWeb upoad the original photo in addition to the blog photos size?
    It's a waist of webspace.
    JO

    Seems a bit strange having to pre-prepare an image to be manipulated by a website program that can manipulate images.
    1 example, I loaded a photobooth image into Iweb (30-40k) only to find it changed it to over 240k just so it can add rounded edges..
    I would like to be able to drag over a few 1meg+ images and have Iweb just use the size it needs without keeping over 13megs of images that arent used.
    but it doesnt seem to do it for all images, only the 1st one of the page (like in the blog pages) 1 image is there by default, I load in say 6 images, 5 have square borders 1 has a round one and only that one had its original big brother uploaded..
    Thanks for the info, at least now i can stop looking for a menu option that isnt there

    how long does iweb take to upload to idisk re 11 page site, please

    How long is a piece of string? There are so many variables it is impossible to say for sure, how many graphics, videos, what broadband speed you have all have to be taken into account. Why don't you try it and tell us the answer.

  • Does iWeb '08 have new/more templaes?

    Does iWeb '08 have different/more TEMPLATES than what exists BEFORE iWeb '08?
    Or is it new mainly in the widgets?
    — Lorna in Southern California

    Ian, hi...
    I have seen that page before; in fact I have read all of the pages on iLife '08 several times because of high interest. I've even read outside reviews of iLife '08. What I wanted was to SEE those new templates if they in fact had new templates. See to "inspect" rather than see random photos to accompany the sentence, "There are new templates, too."

  • In what character format does CS5 Export HTML?

    In what character format does indesign export html?
    I am having trouble writting a parsing script because text that looks like:
    of mutations to particular “hotspot” regions
    becomes, to my chagrin,
    of mutations to particular “hotspot� regions
    Here is my java code that simulates this problem. Perhaps somebody knows which encoding to choose on Windows 7 pro x64?
        public static int CopyFile()
            try
            StringBuffer sb = null;
            String NullSpace = System.getProperty("line.separator");
            //Writer output = new BufferedWriter(new FileWriter(outputFile));
            BufferedWriter output = new BufferedWriter(new OutputStreamWriter(new FileOutputStream(outputFile),"UTF-8"));
            String line;
            BufferedReader input =  new BufferedReader(new FileReader(myFile));
            while((line = input.readLine())!=null)
                    sb = new StringBuffer();
                    //Parsing happens
                    sb.append(line);
                    output.write(sb.toString()+NullSpace);
                return 0;
            catch (Exception e)
                return 1;

    This particular line is the culprit (a case of What You Ask Is What You Get, really a rarity):
    BufferedWriter output = new BufferedWriter(new OutputStreamWriter(new FileOutputStream(outputFile),"UTF-8"));
    -- and what you see is UTF-8 Encoding in action (rather, what you see with a non-UTF-8 aware text editor).
    Check the Javascript Tools Guide, section "File- and Folder-supported encoding names", for an encoding that better suits your needs. Actually, you might want to check the generated HTML file -- UTF8 is a perfectly acceptable character encoding, but you have to tell your browser it is this one.
    Alternatively, you can always check the string buffer text for any character codes (which are Unicodes) above 126 and replace these with the universal "&#xxx;" notation for out-of-range character codes.
