Going mobile with an existing website

I created a website about two years ago for a client that they now want to be able to access it on an iPhone and an iPad. They claim they cannot see the website on either of those two devices. Since I have neither device, I have no idea what they are or are not seeing. (Site URL: www.fulcrumcwi.com)
My question is how do I make the existing website usable on those two devices. I've never done this before so I'm taking this as an opportunity to learn how to do this. Could someone recommend some resources to learn how to do this?
Thanks so much!

Now I'm curious, which mobile browser does target="_blank" not work on?
Weird. I've just tested it again in iPad 3, iPod touch, Android 2.2, and Android 3. It works in all of them.
When I tested in iPad 3 before, I tapped the second two links in the right sidebar several times, and nothing happened. That's why I looked at the source code to see why the links wouldn't work.
Obviously, I was wrong on that point. Nevertheless, I don't think using target="_blank" is a good idea on mobile devices. The iPod touch (which is basically an iPhone without the phone) makes the transition very clear, but it wasn't at all clear on my HTC Desire (Android 2.2). Fortunately, I was able to go back using the phone's back button.
Going back to the question of whether special treatment is needed for mobile devices, I would say that the site is OK on a tablet, but it's very difficult to use on a mobile phone. The user needs to rescale each page as it's loaded, and on some mobile devices, it's necessary to swipe constantly to the left and right to read everything. If I were the client, I would expect the layout to be optimized for small screens using the viewport <meta> tag and media queries.
My advice to the original poster would be to ask the client to say specifically what doesn't appear to be working correctly. Also take a look at my two-part tutorial on media queries: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/dreamweaver/articles/introducing-media-queries.html. Just changing the layout for mobile phones would work wonders.

Can I use Muse with an existing website?*

I have several existing websites. A couple have more than 40,000 files already. Can I use Muse with an existing website?

Why exactly does Muse not support HTML import?
Muse and HTML generators like it only deal with HTML at the very end of production... at export. These generators have their own system (not based on HTML) of arranging text & graphics and structuring page relationships. These kinds of apps have never been able to import HTML. As the world moves to more dynamic web sites (database driven and server-side scripted), it becomes even more unlikely that an HTML generator will ever import HTML.

Href and target tags tutorial/help needed for use with an existing website

I have a website, (built through iweb), and an intro movie. I have spent a lot of time trying to understand the proper tags and how to use them without much luck. My goal is to have the homepage associated with my domain name load in a browser while at the same time have my intro movie open in a Quicktime Player window, play, and automatically close leaving the webpage visible. If anyone can point me to a tutorial or walk my through the process I would appreciate it.

Poster movie style. Requires QuickTime Pro:
Create an image (or a frame from your movie). This becomes the "poster". You could add text to it (Click to Play) in a graphic editor app to help your viewers or add text to the page under the image with these instructions.
Save this new file as poster.mov
It becomes the src="poster.mov" (source tag in the html code). Set its dimensions to fit your page layout.
Your "intro movie" will be your href="intro.mov" (href tag in the html code).
Open it with QuickTime Pro and then open the Movie Properties window. Click on the Presentation tab to see the choices. Automatically close option will close the QuickTime window. Automatically quit option will quit the running QuickTime Player app. This would be a better option as the browser should come back as the "front" application. You also want to check "auto play".
Use Save As (preserves fast start feature) and name this file intro.mov
In your html code for the QuickTime files you need to set target="quicktimeplayer" (this launches the QuickTime Player app instead of using the browser plug-in). It may also help if you use the full URL to both files in each tag (http://myserver.com/foldername/intro.mov).
One of mine as an example. It uses automatically close window:
http://homepage.mac.com/kkirkster/mycareerfuture/
View the source code to see the tag structure. My page uses javascript instead of the older object/embed tag code.

Help with an existing website

i created this site about 15 years ago. it has since been maintained by someone else, and now it's back in my lap. I used a different program to design it then and i'm heck'a rusty at the whole thing.

And if you are wondering where is Dreamweaver forum then here is the link:

In Formscentral: is the form SECURE with SSL even if my existing website does not have SSL?

I plan to embed my new form with html into my existing website. My website does not have SSL. I would like my new form to be SSL secure (will have credit card numbers.) Will the upgraded plan provide this security?

When a form is embedded the submission is protected with SSL. You shouldn't collect credit card information using FormsCentral because the service is not PCI compliant. You should instead use our new integration with PayPal - it supports credit cards and paypal account payments. The credit card info is processed by paypal and they are PCI compliant.
Here is a tutorial on the new payments features: http://forums.adobe.com/docs/DOC-1632

What is going on with mobile me? All I get is the find iphone screen and I can't switch apps to read mail.

MobileMe is working partially, Apple says some users can't access to the web-apps (Mail, Calendar, etc.). In my case is working fine in my iPhone, in Outlook 2010, and I can only access the Mail app (Calendar and other functions are not working!).
Hope this gets fixed soon

Remove existing website content and replace with iweb 08 site

Hi
I have an existing website (not iweb) on personal domain name that needs complete overhaul - I want to replace it with an iweb 08 site using same personal domain name. I am new to the mac world having converted a few months ago - also don't know html code etc.
How do I remove the existing web content to make way for the iweb site using the same domain name - do I download folder using cyberduck and delete content from public_html folder - will this clear the way for new site to be published via iweb and .mac ??
Any help and guidance appreciated
Thanks

I think what you are asking might be better put this way:
"When published, will my current Domain name automatically go to the new site, and if not, what do I need to do to make it so?"
The answer is no, it won't. If Web City is also your Domain name registrar, then you will either have to transfer it for use with .Mac, or forward the Domain to the .Mac url.
I have not personally transferred any of my Domain names to .Mac, but I don't believe it is hard to do. You can go into System Preferences on your machine, click on the .Mac icon, navigate to "Account info/Personal Domain", and go from there.
There are many here who have already done this so I'm sure someone will chime in and lend a hand if you run into difficulties.

If i replace my existing website with new website made in adobe muse on same domain will google search it?

Hi,
If Google has already indexed your site, it will keep checking your site, but make sure you update sitemap in google webmaster tools, if you have some new pages in new site, google will index them and if you have some pages renamed or removed asked google to remove it. You can check some details here

Is it possible to replace an existing website with an ebook?

If possible, how would that work in the backend system?

You'll need to clarify what you mean by 'ebook', and how it's different to the HTML pages of your existing website...

What is the easiest way to put a photo gallery into an existing website?

I am ready to give up. This really can't be this difficult.
Either that or I am the dumbest person in the world. Up until now, I didn't know that I was.
I just want something easy.
I am designing a website using Dreamweaver Cs5.5. I am on a PC with Windows Vista Operating System.
I have an existing website www.metzartonline.com.
On the Gallery page, I want to include a simple photo gallery where I can showcase paintings. I would like a simple (theres that word again) grid that shows the photos as thumbnails. When you click on the thumbnail, it shows the image in a larger size with a small caption.
I've tried using Bridge which was very easy to set up but I'm at a loss on how to integrate that into the webpage. After lots of research, I've come to the conclusion that integrating that into an existing website just insn't that easy to do.
I purchased the Classic Photo Gallery from Flash Development 24 because it was described as "easy to use."
It is not easy to use.
The steb by step guide for one, isn't even written in proper English. I've tried to work with it an I've emailed support several times.
I'm ready to give that up.
I just want to make a simple gallery that I can integrate into an existing website.
Can anyone suggest the easiest program to use?
Please?

You can use Adobe Bridge (it is built into Dreamweaver) and Adobe Fireworks. Once you have Dreamweaver open, go to File and you will see "Browse in Bridge". Adobe Fireworks is a separate program and must be installed to make this work. The instructions below are step by step and I was able to follow them even though I am not overly experienced in Dreamweaver. I created these with Dreamweaver CS4 but the instructions below should work for CS5 as well.
The first address here is to create a photo gallery with the Adobe Output Module which you open in Bridge.
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/Bridge/3.0/WSCF044571-2772-4d28-9EBD-2C9F46AF008A.html
The second address explains how to incorporate the gallery into a Dreamweaver page.

Here is my wife's website for her art: www.tanglewoodbrushstrokes.com
You may want to look at the galleries there first to see if they are what you are looking for.
There are two disadvantages to these galleries. One is that to add or subract images requires creating a new gallery. The good side is that this can be done fairly quickly once you become accustomed to how they are created. I can do a new one now in a half hour or less. To make it easier, you can go to split screen once you have the new gallery made and substitute the html for the new gallery in place of the old one without recreating your page parameters for the gallery.
Secondly, the galleries created in Fireworks use flash technology so they will not work on Iphones or Ipads. To correct this on my wife's website, I upgraded to CS5.5 in order to use HTML5. I am going through the tutorials for creating HTML5 web pages now. Once I have completed them, I will be re-doing my wife's site. I haven't yet figured out how I will create and install the galleries yet. I have posed a question about albums for HTML5 on this forum. Using HTML5 appears to be more complex than what I have experienced in the past, but we will see.
Hope this helps. Don't get too frustrated when you go through the tutorials above. Take your time and you will be able to figure it out. If I could do it, so can you. I am a 65 year old retiree who only began working with Dreamweaver about three years ago. My work experience was not in the computer field although we bought our first computer, an Apple IIE, in 1980.

You should go onto the Tmobile web site and look around. Very soon a pop up window will ask you if you want to chat. You can try asking for someone who knows Spanish (if you prefer), they might have someone available who can chat with you in Spanish.
I give this suggestion because I remember on the Tmobile website, you can order on line, but they let you choose to pay only a little money up front, then pay off the rest over 24 months, or you can choose to pay for it in full. However, their ordering process does not say whether the paid for in full phone is going to be unlocked or not.
It may not be, You may have to make a request and say that since you have paid in full please unlock. I am not so sure that a paid for in full phone is automatically sold in unlocked state.
This is why I suggest you talk to Tmobile to get a definite answer.
Unless someone else on this forum knows for sure? Hope someone else jumps in to answer. But the best way is to ask for yourself directly from Tmobile.
