External links won't work once published

Hi, I'm self taught so don't always understand everything and I'm a complete novice with iWeb, used Front Page before getting a Mac.
I'm in the process of building a new website using iWeb and I'm having problems with getting links to external pages to work. They work fine in iWeb. 'Enable as a hyperlink' and 'make hyperlinks active' is ticked for all links. I've formatted the links to be coloured red, then orange when visited and blue with an underline on roll over, grey if disabled. All works fine in iWeb but then when I publish the links won't work. They will momentarily and then they won't. If I refresh the page then one or two will work but when you go back to the page they won't work again. I've deleted them all and redone them, still the same problem. Tried it in Safari and Firefox, same problem. Deleted the site from the server and republished, same problem. Anyone got any ideas?
On the page in question I have a widget to SkyScanner, thought that was maybe causing a conflict. Deleted it and republished, same problem.
Here's a link to the page I'm having problems with http://www.marbella-rentals.co.uk/MarbellaRentals/flights.html and it's the links to airlines on the right that I can't get to work.
Also I have another couple of questions. How do you resample images? I have used a background image on the pages and I've managed to get it to stay static by altering the code slightly but don't know how to resample it so that the page will load quickly. Ditto with all the rest of my images. Don't want to have to resize them all manually if possible. Also, with the background image I don't know what size I should make it if I was to do it manually.
Last question... How do you change the title of your page and add a favicon?
If anyone can help me would be much appreciated.
Thanks

You have an image covering some of the hyperlinks - GraphPaper_01_3.png
Do a Command A on the iWeb page to find it.
Your background image seems to load OK. Use an optimizer to to get it and the whole site to download faster...

See this page for howw to add a favicon...

To add title tag and meta description you need to open each HTML file post publishing and add them with an editor app. More conveniently, you can use iWeb SEO Tool...

PDF and MSWord links don't work once published

Help,
I have created a four module course and published it using aggregate, it looks great except none of the links to the pdf or msword docs work. I have tried several suggestions, but nothing works when the course is launched on another computer. I get a path error when you click on the link.
Anyone have a helpful suggestion on how to get these to work.
One other note, when I go to publish the document Adobe tells me that I need to export the files...any idea how?
tks.

Adobe Captivate will show this warning message about needing to export the files any time that it detects you have linked to another file or document that is not one of those it normally exports automatically at publish time. It's really just reminding you that it's YOUR job to ensure that the files you are linking to are going to be in the right place when the published content is accessed by end users.
The best option is just to manually copy the files (in your case PDF etc) into the same publish folder location as the HTM and SWF files that Captivate creates. Then all you need to use as a relative file path is the name of the file itself.
One thing to check as to why the links are not working is that you have Flash Global Security set up to trust the publish folder location. Alternatively, upload your content to a web server and view it via a HTTP URL link. That usually means that Flash Global Security won't be an issue.

Links won't work...in certain circumstances.

Okay...here's the situation:
A couple days ago, all was well. ALL links were working just fine. Following a minor update, all links died.
I set the site up to navigate by clicking pictures rather than using the nav menu. All links to site pages were set up as internal links, any links to outside the site were set up as external links.
I've rigged a partial fix to this: I put clear shapes over the pictures and linked them...these work. Any links that I haven't done this with no longer work.
None of the hyperlinks on text work, nor do the ones I haven't covered with a clear shape. I've gone through, unlinked everything, relinked it and tried again, the text links and non-covered pics still don't work.
To top it all off, the photo albums created BY IWEB aren't working either! (these will be ericthelutheran.info/sclcy/bb2011 & ch2011 in the link I provide). When you try to click on the navigation buttons between pages or on the pictures to get to a larger view, they don't work at all. Again, the albums were created by iWeb itself.
I don't know what to do short of starting over, but I hate to do that after all this work (though it's not finished yet). Help!
Current versions of iWeb & Lion, tried multiple browsers w/ same result.
Site: http://ericthelutheran.info/SCLCY/sclcy.html
Thanks for the help, I'm so confused!

EDIT: Links won't work due to ID-10-T error. I laid a clear box over everything with line edge to "frame" the page...nothing like a nice sheet of glass to prevent it from being messed with!

External speaker won't work

I have a BlackBerry Curve 8310 and the external speaker won't work. I don't get any notification of calls, texts, etc. I had a new external speaker put in but that didn't fix the problem. Anybody have any ideas of what else could be wrong? My phone is no longer under warranty, so AT&T will not replace my phone.

The same thing happened to me. Go to Applications and then the Utilities Folder and then open the Audio Midi Setup app. Make sure the default output and system output are set to the built in output. The same symptoms happened to me when I ad reset those options to an aggregate device I created for some simple music production. Setting the above setting back to the defaults made everything better.

External microphone won't work on Macbook Pro

My external microphone won't work on my Macbook Pro.
My mic is an SE2200 A, and I'm pluggin that into a Behringer Eurorack UB802 (with Phantom power). This is then connected to a 1/4 inch to 3.5mm adapter so I can plug it into my Macbook Pro.
If I plug this directly into my Macbook Pro into the headphone socket (which I've been told doubles up as a mic socket), and go to Settings -> Sound -> Input, the mic does not appear on screen at all.
If I plug it into a 3.5mm to USB adapter, and plug it into a USB port on my mac, then the USB PnP Sound Device appears on the Settings -> Sound -> Input, but no sound is picked up.
Could any suggest why this isn't working?
thanks

You have to use a cable that will break out the 3.5 mm TRRS jack into mic, L, and R.
I haven't found the right wiring yet and the cables I have tried don't seem to work.
See this post: What is the wiring digram on the MacBook Pro 3.5 mm TRRS jack?

External keypad won't work after installing OS 7.

External keypad won't work after installing OS 7. I have a "Zagg" keyboard that won't pair now to OS 7,...Why?

They do work. I have one and mine is working. Have you tried to reset your iPad? HOlding down teh sleep and home keys until it reboots then try pairing again.
A slightly more drastic thing is to go into the settings and reset all settings. THe downside, you will need to retweak your device but it can help fix keyboard glitches.

Creative Suite CS5 download link won't work

Creative Suite CS5 download link won't work after eight attempts, trying to transfer software to new laptop. Final Solution: new software cds mailed if possible?

Hi Sheena,
After dowloading the CS5 Design Premium, I get an error messagin stating "A problem occurred while extracting the archive. Please try downloading the Adobe CS5 Design Premium again." I repeated this process multiple times (8) to no avail. I am trying to download the CS5 design premium on my new laptop, but don't have the software cds to do this. Thus, I can only download the software but after i download the two files required, that error message appears. (I already have my serial number). I have tried disabling my Antivirus as sometimes it detects the files as virus and removes them while downloading. I have also tried downloading after performing Selective Startup.
Can Adobe mail the software cds instead of sending download links?

Link to external URL won't work...why?

Should be the easiest thing to do, right?....
I have an ordinary button labeled "Start" In the button's properties:
Action>On Success: Open URL or file
http://www.dgs.ca.gov/orim/Programs/DDTOnlineTraining.aspx
Attempts: Infinite
It won't do anything when clicked. No error, no nothing. The URL is good and works in my browser. I've tried the "Current, New and Parent" settings also, but no difference.
The published files are located on our LAN. Could that be an issue?

Just found something interesting.
We have a link from our intranet to the CP page I made on our LAN. The troublesome button link is on the CP page.
When I launch the CP page from our intranet, the path is this:
\\accounts\dars\ORPPA\Training and Program Development\Online Training\homepage.htm
If I open that exact same file in the same location, but go directly to the LAN instead of thru the intranet the path is this:
S:\ORPPA\Training and Program Development\Online Training\homepage.htm
It's a network location that is mapped on my pc.
My button link does not work when using the first method, but it DOES work when using the second method. Makes no sense to me because once you're at the CP page, you are viewing the same file in the same location, only the route that you took to get there is different.
Ideas?

Some link buttons won't work after publishing

I have noticed several of the buttons I created on my website in iWeb '06 don't work after the website is published but do work before it is published. What can I do to correct this?
Cathy J

Could you supply a link, so I can look at the View Source and HTML? Have you tried re-building those buttons in iWeb that don't work when published and then re-publishing? It's probably not getting properly publish due to a import problem from the old iLife.

Hyperlinks in presentation not working once published - Presenter 7.0.7

I have a link to an intranet address that will not work once the PowerPoint presentation has been published via Presenter 7.0.7. The cursor does not change to a pointer and nothing launches when the link is clicked. I have verified the Flash Player security settings as well as ensured no formatting of the text link except for the color change that happens when the link is inserted.
The issue (slide 37) can be viewed at: http://www.pivotpointelearning.com/docs/TTE7161/index.htm
Any ideas?
Ray

Hi Ray,
Thanks for sharing the presentation.
Textbox in which your hyperlink is placed have text containing Text effects. When you publish the presentation then any text with text effect is published as an image.
So, place text with a hyperlink in a separate textbox which don't have any text effects. Segregate the content having text effect and hyperlink in 2 separate textbox.
Thanks,
Shubhi

RH6: External Links Won't Open

In the newest issue I've encountered compiling RH5 projects
with RH6, none of the several hundred external file links work in
IE7: the file will not open.
I ran a file compare on the published version of one RH6
topic with its RH5 equivalent -- they are
exactly the same except for the meta name="generator"
company name and URL and this line at the top in the RH6 version:

So, it doesn't appear to be the individual file, but a goober
somewhere in the output which is preventing the links from working.
BTW, the RH5 version works fine.
Any ideas where to look for the culprit?
Thanks!

...well, I inadvertently lied: I have two layouts, unchecked
Mark of the Web for one, compiled and opened the other. Not smart,
but in my defense, I've been distracted....
So here's the deal: the layout with Mark of the Web
checkmarked [per Adobe's copious Help, "Select this option
if you do not want your output (which is saved on your computer) to
be blocked in Internet Explorer 6, and later."] will
not open externally linked files. Period.
With Mark of the Web
unchecked, those externally linked files open just as
expected.
I'm confused. If I can't open externally linked files with
Mark of the Web checked, isn't that "blocking" -- at least of some
sort?
Anyway, Peter, good wild guess -- but I sure don't know how
to deal with this "solution"...<G>

Post item numbered 2 on the following example of an HP notebook's barcoded sticker. Your barcode may be slightly different but will still have the important imformation needed for us to help you.
###Do not post the serial number as it is personal information.###
Post the installed operating system version ( and whether it is 32 or 64-bit ) and whether the CPU is an AMD or Intel product
Not posting all of the information as requested will delay our responses and slow troubleshooting of the issue that led you to author a thread.
Is your notebook/PC still within its warranty period?

Blog Post Links Won't Work

Greetings!
My blog post links at http://HealthyDayFitness.com/ won't work and I can't figure out how to remedy the problem.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Cheers!

Thanks for the reply!
I'm publishing to a folder and using FileZilla to upload the site. I simply click and drag all the files within my site folder onto the site. I did not click and drag the folder, because then it gives me the address http://HealthyDayFitness.com/HealthyDayFitness/Welcome.html. Looks messy in my opinion.
I'm a little confused on what you mean by blank spaces on the page name... This is the blog page that works: http://healthydayfitness.com/Blog/Blog.html
If you click on "First Post," that's when things go haywire, but I don't see any blank spaces in that broken URL.
Any other thoughts? If not, I'll give the folder upload a try.

External display won't work on Window

Hi can anyone please help me in this? when I using window XP, my external display won't display out but when I'm using MAC OS X it work well, why? please help... Thanks

I can only help if you are using an NVidia graphics card, as with that you can use the NVidia Control Panel to setup the external display.
Connect the display
Start NVidia Control panel
Select the Display icon
Then select Change Display Configuration
There you can set the resolution, extend the screen or create a copy et.c.
Hope that helps...
