Every link shows a pop-up on iWeb published site. Why? Must it be so?

I've noticed that my very simple blog page shows pop-ups if I rest the cursor over the hyprelinks for just a brief moment. It's kind of annoying, because it shows my weak titles for the files and directories iWeb is using. Normal web pages don't do this, right? At least I'm not use to it. I mean, if you go to any of Apple's web pages and rest your cursor over a link, it doesn't show you the location of that link in a yellow pop-up window.
Is there something I can do to stop this with my iWeb created page? Could it just be a setting of my own in Safari (-doubt it).
I know, I know, iWeb is not supposed to be sophisticated - and there's lots of arguing back and forth about that.
I'd just like to hide the stuff under-the-hood. After all, that's what Apple is all about, right?
Thanks.
-by the way - the site is here if you want to see what I'm talking about:
http://web.mac.com/covalt/
Quad-core 2.5 G5 Mac OS X (10.4.5) 30" Apple Cinema Display

Normal web pages do this, but with "normal" web pages, you're able to alter the text. Just as an example, hover over the "Ken Drake" link at the top of this article.
http://www.keynoteuser.com/news/?p=103
In this case, it's giving you information you already know, but that's how it works. I could change that text to anything.
You could do the same to your pages, but you can't yet do so through the GUI, you'd have to change the page's code in your iDisk.

IE Scolling/Lag issues with IWeb Published Site

Has anyone had any issues with scrolling/lag with Internet Explorer on an iWeb published site? I have a site that runs great on Firefox and safari but terrible on Internet Explorer. I'm thinking it may be the template/design i used?
Anyone every seen this? Any suggestions?
Thanks,
JC

I've only ever used the Modern Frame, so I can't say if there would be a performance issue using a different template. I have about three pictures on each page.
I noticed on your site that you're using the "reflection" effect on some of your pictures. Just for the purpose of testing, perhaps you could try turning off that effect and then re-uploading your site to see if that is causing some of the problem? I believe the reflection is rendered using javascript code, which may be causing the poor performance in IE. If that does turn out to be the problem, you can decide whether it's worth it to keep the effect or not.
By the way, I don't get that same error message in IE when I open your Videos page. Maybe it's caused by a security setting in your IE being set at a more restrictive level?

Directory of iWeb published sites

A friend and I are interested in viewing other iWeb published sites. Is there a directory of such?

IWeb published site different than designed

I scrolled through numerous pages and was surprised I did not see this problem already described.
I design a simple (though long) page using iWeb. Text and images only. The images are embedded, but non are overlapping. It looks great as I am working on it in the iWeb window. I publish it to a folder on my laptop then view either by using "visit published site" or going to the directory and firing up the index.html. There are lots of problems - images have been moved, fonts are wrong (there looks to be a "format persistence" problem -- a type or size will continue for a few extra words. I edit, making sure the fonts are the ones I want and re-publish with the same poor results. Not very WYSIWYG at all! I'd try to edit the html code, taking the iWeb written stuff as a pretty good start, but it is not very pretty html.
So, at this point iWeb is a completely useless program! As many others are using it without this problem, there must be some solution. Anyone had this issue and found a way to fix it?
thanks

What is the web address of the published site so we can see what you are referring to?
While waiting for that:
A common reason why formatting on a published page will not match what you see in iWeb is that objects (pictures, movies, text boxes, etc.) are overlapping. When the web browser goes to try and interpret that overlap the results can vary (this can effect the display of fonts as well).
Go to the page in question in iWeb and click on 1 object. Go to Edit > Select All.
You will see all the objects on the page with their boundaries activated. Move any items that are overlapping so they have their own space around them.

Images Not showing up like they should on published site...

Ok so here is my problem. I have a site that I upload to a host via fetch. When I first create pages, I upload and check it out and everything looks great. But, as soon as I edit one of the pages and upload, that page's images is all screwed up. Its like when I publish to a folder, it cache's the files or something so old files images I don't even have anymore are stretched on the new ones. I delete the files of previously published sites before I publish to folder every time i update it. I don't know how to explain it, its like it has both files same name and so it looks messed up. ::sigh:: Anyone have any ideas?
Here is the page on my site thats messed up....
http://www.luckykitty.biz/BookaDate.html
as you can see the picture file names are wrong or something. refresh it and the shapes stay pretty much the same but the images change. Keep refreshing and it keeps changing!!
I can fix it by making a whole new page with a different name but its such a pain because I am contantly updating things. There are many aspects to the site, for instance I have had to redo every single page of every girl on there before from scratch because of this.
Also for some reason if you click "live cam" at the top then the live cam pinkish blue page in the center doesn't go all the way to the top. It us to! now it doesn't
Any ideas? Anyone? Is there some folder I'm missing or setting I'm missing here?

You have to be fairly well organized when you are uploading to a server via FTP.
I publish my site, first to a folder on the desktop. This way it doesn't get confused with any previous published versions.
To avoid uploading my whole site if I just have a few alterations to one page, I then drag the page folder, along with any other supporting files, to an Input folder.
I then run the files through Web Site Maestro to optimize and upload them. This application has a "Smart handling" feature which ignores any files that haven't changed.
If you use this method with any good FTP application that can "recognize" changed files, it makes life a lot easier. If I don't need to optimize, I use the FTP application Yummy.
If you are publishing to a folder it doesn't make sense not to optimize your files. This will give you a far faster downloading website and even give it a chance to actually load in Internet Explorer.

Why is every link showing up with an A in a square?

The only thing that I have recently installed was Microsoft Office, but I paid for it so I don't think that any unwanted files came with it upon installation.

Too Many Files in iWeb Site - Why must iWeb create so many duplicates?

I have created a website for all of my family photos. My current hosting plan gives me 100GB space and a limitation of 20,000 files.
The problem that I have at the moment is how iWeb creates the site and all of the required files for display. I am using the Dark Room theme in iWeb 2008. Basically, it takes the picture that you want to display, adds it to the top page, then creates a directory for that picture, and into this directory it creates and stores a micro.jpg file, a mip.jpg file, and a thumb.jpg file. So to display a single picture, you have a minimum of 4 supporting files and directories.
Also, iWeb seems to store all of the
I have a lot of pictures, around 3,000, so I am approaching the file quota set by my web hosting service. To resolve this my questions are:
1) Does every theme in iWeb create all of these additonal files for displaying the pictures?
2) Maybe I just have some preference in iWeb set incorrectly. Is there something that would improve this? I could put all of the photo albums onto a single page to reduce all of the common graphics that are being stored, but that seems a bit ridiculous to have to do.
3) Maybe I should change my web hosting company. I have checked both my hosting company and other hosting companies to see what the file quotas are. None of them seem to list this. I am reluctant to change my hosting company only to find that the new hosting company has the same sort of limitation in place. Has anyone had issues with file quotas?

To cut your file sizes, use the Black or the White template.
Photo album pages don't work too well. They look good but you have to keep the number of albums and the number of photos per album fairly small if you want the page to download in a reasonable time.
Obviously your individual image file sizes have to be reasonable.
I turn off "Optimize images on import" in iWeb preferences and use ImageWell to reduce the size because it has a visual indicator. Try it out to see what I mean...

Delete old Iweb published site not saved

Hi Team, My compter crashed and I have a published website, but I dont have a backup of the files that created it. I have heard you cant download all of it and I have to start again. How do I delete it and start again??????? I have read how to get the bits and pieces back but I don't want it to count against my total iweb allowance.
Cheers Paul

First, you could look at this page for help in retrieving stuff......
http://iwebfaq.org/site/iWebBackupretrieve.html
If you rebuild the site with the same name and publish it to MobileMe, you will overwrite the original or you can go to Finder/Go/iDisk/My iDisk/Web/Sites and delete the website folder and the index.html file.

IWeb published site fails W3C validation

How come my simple iWeb site fails W3C CSS validation?

This was posted somewhere recently but I can't remember the details. I believe it had to do with an alt or title tag. Hopefully, this is a small matter that was overlooked and should be fixed with an update.
When using http://validator.w3.org on one of my sites, there's title where it expects alt. Just click the "Show Source" and "Verbose Output" buttons in order to see the errors in more detail.

How do I revert my iWeb published site (the actual published site in internet is up to date) the one on my repaired computer is old from a time machine back-up and out of date?

The question is above I repaired my hardrive and the iweb site is from an old time machine back-up. In the web my site is up to date and I want to update my computer stored iWeb site to the site in internet ?

You need to copy and paste the content from the published files back into iWeb and recreate any missing pages since iWeb has no import facility.

How can I edit my iweb published site when the domain file is empty?

How can I edit my iweb site when the domain file opens up empty? I have the site backed up in mobile me, on my computer, and on an external hard drive.
How can I transfer these files into iweb?

Hi there,
To edit your site from one of your backed up versions, place the Domain file in User>Library>Application Support>iWeb & then launch iWeb. Update & publish.

PC iweb published site appears pixelated

I am using both Mac and PC, and when I make an iweb website, it does not appear the same on firefox or explorer, when viewed on PC. Even when I select a simple font like Verdana, the font appears pixelated on the PC browser.
Can anyone please advise what if anything i can do to avoid this and other issues appearing on PC browsers
Cathal

This is your webpage :
http://web.me.com/chriswhitenoise/Crystal_Images/About.html
See if it works as intended.
I remember that using a webpage the way you do, hiding it behind some masquerading page, causes difficulties on a Windows PC.
Why not properly use the domainname?

IWeb Publishes Site...

Then when visiting - the site is not updated to the version that was just "published." This is the first problem I have had with iWeb. I have published in the same manner time and time again without problem. What is going on?
Specifically...
New blog entries are said to be published by iWeb - but the site does not have navigation for the new blogs. Very frustrating.

Need JavaScript for Sharepoint Designer 2010, to show a Pop-up to all the users between date range and the redirect the site

Dear all,
I am very new to Sharepoint designer 2010. Its better to say, i am just stepping in.
I have sharepoint site which is accessible for all the users to update few information. But i want this site not to be accessible during a date range, say from 15th to 20th of every month.
I am planning to have something like this: If any user tries to access this sharepoint site between 15th to 20th date range of everymonth, then the browser must show an pop-up alert saying "This site is not accessible during this date range" and Redirect
this sharepoint site to someother site (Say http:// somesitename.xx.com) immidiately.
I know very little about how to add Javascript in sharepoint webpart.
Please provide the Javascript or any best alternate solution to my concern.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
From your description, my understanding is that you want to redirect sharepoint site to another site between 15th and 20th every month.
I agree with what Sudip says. If you still want to use JS code,You could try these steps
below:
Open your site with SharePoint Designer.
Click Master Pages in left navigation.
Find file v4.master, and backup it(it is very important).
Right click your v4.master,
choose "Edit File in Adavance Mode".
Add the code below into the <head/> tag.
<script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.11.1.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script><script
type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function(){
var today = new Date();
var day = today.getDate(); // get current day
var id = _spPageContextInfo.userid; // get the id of current logon in user
var boolFlg = false;
$.ajax({
   url: _spPageContextInfo.webAbsoluteUrl + "/_api/web/SiteGroups/GetByName(\'"+"sharepoint Owners"+"\')/Users", //get users in a specified group can access the sharepoint site from 15th to 20th every
month
   type: "GET",
   headers: {"accept": "application/json;odata=verbose"},
   success: function (data) {
      if (data.d.results) {
         var src = data.d.results;
         for(var i = 0; i < src.length; i++){
            if(src[i].userid==id){ //check the logon in user in the specified group or not
               boolFlg = false;
               break;
         if(!boolFlg){
            if(day <= 20 && day >=15){
                alert("This site is not accessible during this date range"); // alert the message
                location.href = "http:// somesitename.xx.com"; // redirect to another site
   error: function (xhr) {
      alert(xhr.status + ': ' + xhr.statusText);
})</script>
