Edit HTML in iWeb '08

I have tried editing the HTML on my iWeb website by opening the .html file on my iDisk in TextEdit and editing it from there, but it did not change the site. Do I need to re-publish the page from iWeb, or do I need to use something other than TextEdit to do the editing of the HTML?

If you're sure you've edited the proper .html file, try emptying your browser cache, and refreshing your browser. Sometimes closing, and reopening the browser with an 'Empty Cache' seems to be required.
The 'Empty Cache' option in Safari is available under the Safari menu.
Browsers cache websites you visit, and you can never be certain you are viewing a cached version of your site, or the actual site. I've always wished there was an option to turn caching off.
There have been numerous "hacks" to prevent Safari from caching. Here's one,
Replace the ~/Library/Caches/Safari folder with an empty file of the same name.
or
Change the ~/Library/Caches/Safari folder permissions to Read only, and lock it.

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.

How and where do I go to edit HTML in iweb?

How do I view iweb's html so that I can edit it? What do I need to do after I edit it? Thanks.Kelly

You can add just about any type of html code, widget, or add-on to your iWeb site if you are willing to do a little post-publish editing.

Editing html(?) pages in iWeb

I created my website (www.pamelaehrenberg.com) using iWeb and unfortunately lost the iWeb pages in a hard-drive crash. The website has survived on the server, and I was able to FTP the pages back to my hard drive, but I can't figure out how to edit them in iWeb. Any hope? Thanks so much...

PMEhrenberg,
Welcome to the discussions.
You have discovered a glaring shortcoming of the iWeb application--the non-ability to import html into the program.
iWeb is a generator that produces html upon publishing; everything the application draws upon to create html for your site is stored in a single file, Domain. This file lives in your computer here.
If this file is lost, as in your case, or corrupted, your ability to access and edit the sites that it contained is also lost. You cannot bring files back down from a server or folder into iWeb. Sorry for the bad news.
You will need to re-create your site. Copy and paste where possible from rendered pages in a browser, and consider linking back to the existing site from the new, as you rebuild. From now on, backup this file frequently using Varkgirl's automator application, free for download here.

HTML with iWeb

Hi,
I just got the iWeb program, im trying to access the html code to add extra's to my site.
Currently I am just closing down iWeb and editing through a text program, but im wondering if there is a way to view the html within iWeb so i dont have to close everything down, etc.
Also when i do this, all changes to the html have to be after im done editing with iWeb because the changes wont load when i load my site in iWeb.
Any help would be good, thanks.

You can't view html with iWeb, and any custom html
you add via a text editor or other means will be
erased whenever you republish the page using iWeb.
It really isn't an appropriate tool for what you
want to do, at least not in this version.
That is a real BUMMER! After spending many hours over this weekend setting my site up, I need to add a bit of html at the end of my welcome page:
It is a dynamic weather report.
I figured out how to add it with a text editor, but every time the file is edited in iWeb and then published, the added code is erased! I hope there will be a way to deal with this WITHIN iWeb soon.

How to edit the same iWeb site on 2 different Macs?

How can I edit the same iWeb site on 2 different Macs? I know we create a folder with the files, but when copying that to Mac2, iWeb on Mac2 doesn't see that folder - I can't see what the linkage is between the app's interface and the folder of site files....

The answer is Domain.sites (extension hidden by default). You'll find this on the Mac you used to create the site at Users/YourUserName/Library/Application Support/iWeb. Copy that file to removable media and drag it to the same location on the other Mac. Launch iWeb and you'll see the site structure in the Site Organizer.
Once you keep the Domain package in sync between the two machines everything will work smoothly no matter which you use. There's a neat tip here which may help in this respect, but you use whatever strategy you prefer:

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.

Hi kashif10,
JEditorPane or JTextPane are the classes to use. You can have both bold and italic for a text portion.
See http://java.sun.com/products/jfc/tsc/articles/ for an overview of articles covering the swing text package.
Or try application SimplyHTML at http://www.lightdev.com/template.php4?id=3 it is open source and has a lot of documentation too.

Issues editing HTML on an existing site.

I am attempting to replace the existing content in a site's left panel with custom HTML.
I refined the HTML working with a new blank subsite and was able to use the "Edit HTML" option directly in the Left Panel without adding a Content Editor Web Part.
When I go to the existing site I am unable to get the "Edit HTML" option within the panel itself and when I add a Content Editor Web Part it completely breaks my formatting.
Is there any way to apply HTML directly to an existing site panel without using a web part?

Hi ,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to customize the quick launch of your SharePoint 2010 site.
For your issue, you can use the SharePoint web interface or SharePoint Designer 2010. You can have a look at the blog:

Editing HTML file leaves temporary files lying about the place

G'day
CFB 2.0.1, installed as stand-alone on Windows 7 Enterprise 64-bit. Although this has been the case since CFB 1.0, and on various Windows installs.
Whenever I edit a HTML file (ie: with a .html extension), CFB creates a temporary file in the same dir, eg: .tmp_charts.html.33659~ (the original file name is charts.html). I've no problem with this - other than the fact it should not be necessary - but what I do have a problem with is that it does not tidy up after itself once it's done: the tmp files stay there. This is a bit sloppy.
I'm sure (100% sure) I've raised with this with Adobe in the past, and raised a bug for it, but it's not on the bug tracker for some reason.
Can other CFB users test out what happens when they edit HTML files with CFB? Note: the tmp file does not show up in the navigator listing within CFB, but it is there in the file system if one looks with Windows Explorer.
I'm going to raise a bug again (done: 3328624), in the hope this can be fixed. It's a minor thing, but I'm sick of accidentally committing rubbish to my source control because I forget CFB can't tidy up after itself.
Cheers.
Adam

Curious.
Still: they should just not be there in the first place. They don't appear for any other file type that I am aware of.
Agreed!
Come to think of it, I had another issue with CFB leaving bits around a while back. Ahhh, now I can't remember exactly what the issue was. I remember it had to do with mapping a networked drive. When I would map a particular drive letter, say 'W', then start CFB it would create an entire folder hierarchy on there seemingly from a different server. I know this because we have two different CF environments here; some server are running CF under JRun and others are running CF under WebSphere. I only noticed this issue because I had mapped one of our JRun servers and all of a sudden it had portions of the WebSphere directory structure on there. I think it had to do with a workspace in CFB but can't remember for sure. I fixed it a while back by removing the offending setting in CFB. Man, wish I could remember exactly what it was...

Adding HTML on iweb

Could anyone tell me if you can add HTML to an iweb website and if so how?
Thanks

Although true that you can’t do HTML in iWeb as is, there are several options available. All stem from a post-publishing mentality. Basically you create a box in iWeb where you want your HTML to go (put in some filler text so you can find it). Post-publishing, find the page with the HTML text, then open it in a text editor. Find your box with the filler text, and add your HTML – removing the reference to the box.
Alternatively, you could get a third-party software that allows you to embed HTML in an iWeb page, and then converts the HTML code (again post-publishing). This method allows you to add code on the fly in iWeb and then ‘automate’ the process of converting the ‘box’ code to straight HTML.

Edit HTML in Blog

Hi All,
Basically I'm fidelling around with the Blog function and I'm trying to add a youtube video to the blog using the HTML code from youtube, and choosing edit html from the toolbar and pasting the code in.
When I press save the blog is blank. And when I press "edit html" again none of the code that I just pasted is there.
I'm no shark at html, so am I doing something wrong?

Emilliard,
The html you are pasting is blacklisted. It's a security provision that Apple put in place for you. You can override it to allow the html, but you will have to create a custom whitelist on your server.
First, grab this PDF: http://images.apple.com/server/macosx/docs/ExtendingYour_WikiServer.pdf
Then read page 33. It references your YouTube problem specifically.
Good luck,

How do I edit HTML after publishing site?

What does it mean to edit HTML after publishing the site? How exactly is that done? From another thread, it seems that re-publishing will overwrite that HTML - is that true? Thanks for any insight into this.

Cleaning up the HTML in iWeb

Greetings, Is there a way for me to clean up the HTML in iWeb? I want to clean it up so the " %20 " doesn't show up in the URLs. And will Apple fix this issue in the next release/version of iWeb, does anybody know?
Current URL sample:

No problem, you can do it right in iweb. Change the page names in the site organizer so they have no spaces. Republish and your all set.
