HTML Snippet placement

Hello. Every time I add an embedded video using html snippet option to iWeb and I publish later, the video is not exactly in the right spot I placed it.
Any help is appreciated.

The page you link to is a blog page, right? Not sure, I haven't created a blog page to experiment with but the fact that it is a blog page and you're near the footer may be part of the problem. I'm only guessing here but try putting an empty text box below the video to push the footer down and leave the video up closer to the bottom of the text box above it.
On another note: You video page has way too many videos for reasonable use. There won't be an Internet Explorer user who will be able to load the page. It took me a very long time to load and I have nearly 20MB/sec download capability.
There are ways you can add that many videos to a page and not have any of them load until the play button is selected. This demo page shows one method: Opening Item in a New, Precisely Sized Window. An additional benefit to the method is that the videos do not have to be uploaded every time that page is edited and published. This demo page has 9 videos added with the method: PhotoPresenter Animated Slideshow Themes.
There are other ways, like uploading the videos to Vimeo or YouTube and adding them to a page via HTML snippets and the code provided by the video hosting site. This demo page has several such videos with the Vimeo hosted video at the bottom: Adding YouTube & Vimeo Videos.

IWeb html snippet to stay permenantly in place

In iWeb how can you make an html snippet stay permenantly on the bottom right of any page?

Just want to make sure I understand. Is this what you are saying?
<script type="text/javascript">
top.location.href = "http://MYEXTERNALBLOG/"; </script>
I figure I must be missing something? Tried the above and still no luck with it opening in a new window...

IWeb, HTML Snippet, and MySQL via GoDaddy (db already built)

I have a site (zigcodes.info) that is hosted by GoDaddy. I built the site using iWeb. No complaints there. I have a MySQL database and table built to store codes added by users. There is also one called "hit list" on another page, but I haven't finished coding it. I need to solve this problem before I can finish that page. So far, I've successfully linked my submit forms to the database. When a user adds a code, it does indeed populate into the database (hooray for small miracles).
Of course, doing this dumps the user onto a blank white page, but I think I can fix that with a redirect at the end of the php file used by the form. My problem comes in when I try to display the codes in the database on my page. I know how to query the db using SELECT * FROM, but I can't figure out what to do with the data after that.
I'm having a heck of a time getting the HTML Snippet widget correct in iWeb. I've seen suggestions that are all over the place, but can't seem to get any to work. I'm told that <iframe> may be a viable solution, but I am at a loss as to how. Honestly, my site is very simple and I don't need fancy functionality. All I need is a list, in table form would be nice but really not necessary, of the 30 names/codes most recently added to the db by users of my site. I can get the echo command to print headers for my data, but not the data itself.
Will <iframe> work, and if so, how? If not, what's my best bet? Should I go with a table in the HTML Snippet widget, with tags like <? echo "$code"; ?> inserted into my<td></td> content? Or, would it be best to use the <script src="activecodes.php"></script> solution with an external php file? Or am I way off on all of these? I do know that iWeb won't do it for me with it's own magic, but it seems like there should still be a way to add code into the HTML Snippet widget and display the db data on the iWeb designed page. Help?

Yeah, the code you suggested isn't live now because I always remove changes to my code that affect no change. It makes for a cleaner build later. Here are some variations of your sugestion that I tried:
<div align="center"><form name="newcodes" action="newcode.php" method="post">
<input type="text" name="newcode"/>
<br />
<input type="submit" value="Add it!" />
<input type="hidden" name="good_url" value="http://www.zigcodes.info/" />
</form>
</div>
AND
<div align="center"><form name="newcodes" action="newcode.php" method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="good_url" value="http://www.zigcodes.info/" />
<input type="text" name="newcode"/>
<br />
<input type="submit" value="Add it!" />
</form>
</div>
AND
<div align="center"><form name="newcodes" action="newcode.php" method="post">
<input type="text" name="newcode"/>
<input type="hidden" name="good_url" value="http://www.zigcodes.info/" />
<br />
<input type="submit" value="Add it!" />
</form>
</div>
I even tried this because I saw other people suggesting it in similar forums:
<div align="center"><form name="newcodes" action="newcode.php" method="post">
<input type="text" name="newcode"/>
<br />
<input type="submit" value="Add it!" />
<input type="hidden" name="redirect" value="http://www.zigcodes.info/" />
</form>
</div>
All of the above produce the exact same, unwanted result: a blank white screen with the URL of my .php file (the one that handles the form post).

Hyperlink to a Png inside an HTML Snippet will not navigate properly

Hey,
I put this link <a href="http://www.apple.com"><img src="/Users/sniper/Documents/BT/Home_files/baby.png"></a> inside of an Html Snippet. After publishing the site locally and clicking on the image "baby.png", instead of navigating to the apple.com page, the apple.com page is loaded and is displayed in the place where the baby.png is located. It is almost as if it were a frame. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
TG

The code does not work because it is wrong.
What do you want to do - create a link to the Apple site or to an image on your desktop?
If you want to create a link to an image on your desktop, which it looks like this is, then the code you need is
If you want to create a link to the apple website then the code you need to use is <a href="http://www.apple.com"</a>.
Note the closing tags of both - image is and a link is <a href=" "</a>.
Do not try to mix the two, they both do different things and if you want your code to work, then it needs to be correct.

HTML snippet not working

I have multiple sites that I've created with iWeb and have used the program for years. However, in an attempt to update one of my sites I encountered a road block. I was trying to embed html from my Vimeo site using the html snippet function but the regular html snippet window was not present, (i.e. no gray window to place code, no apply button. Just a blank white box). When I do copy the code it just sits on the page like text.
I've re-installed iWeb but the same scenario is occurring.
Thank you,
C

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Try the following:
1 - close iWeb.
2 - delete the iWeb preference file, com.apple.iWeb.plist, that resides in your Home/Library/Preferences folder.
3 - go to your Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iWeb folder and delete the contents.
4 - reboot.
5 - launch iWeb and try again.

Can't edit html snippet

I have numerous html snippets that work fine. However I can't edit them any more. When I click on the snippet in iWeb I used to get a window with the snippet code to edit. That doesn't happen any more. Same thing for new html snippets: No edit window to place code in. Don't know when it stopped working since I haven't tried editing snippets for several months.
Thanks for your help - Volker

Thanks. That was helpful. Deleting preferences or repairing permissions didn't help. Reinstalling did the trick. FYI: You can install iWeb straight from disk individually without Pacifist.
After all of that I found out what had caused the problem in the first place: I had moved the iWeb application into a sub folder of the Applications directory. That seems to be breaking this feature only. Any thoughts on moving applications? Is there a best practice not to?

Babelfish HTML snippet - iWeb 2.0 - does not translate

I'm trying to use an HTML snippet in iWeb 2.0 and translate the page into other languages using Alta Vista's Babelfish translator.
For some reason the translator does not work and I can't see the translated page. Any ideas or simply iWeb is not processing the snippet properly? I think it is this because using the program iWebMore it processes the snippet properly.

Are you sure you look in the right place? ~ is another name for your home directory. You open a finder window. Then you click on your home directory, on the left, in the places section, you select your name (or whatever login name you use on your computer). You see a list of directories including "Desktop", "Documents" and "Library". Open "Library" then "Preferences". Preferences contains a lot of .plist files. One should be com.apple.iWeb.plist if you have used iWeb before.

HTML Snippet Does not Publish to where it is placed in original

The HTML Snippet does not publish on the page where I place it on my original in iWeb 08. Does anyone know how to figure out where and how to make this work without guessing constantly. It seems that it shifts it many lines up on the published page.

Select "show layout" from the "view"" menu to see if the snippet box is overlapped by a text box.

Trouble with HTML snippet

An HTML snippet does not work once published to a website although it does work in the "view published site" option. Error message "Not Found URL requested". I use iWeb for my website and Firezilla to publish to www. Any solutions please?

This could be caused by the file in question not being uploaded to the server or an error in the URL.
You need to use your FTP app to have a look at the files on the server to see if the appropriate one is actually there and in the correct place.

Enabling html snippets

Hi, I'm a new Contribute user. My web site was designed by a fellow in England using DreamWeaver, but he's no longer involved in the site design. When I went to insert an html snippet, the feature was greyed out in my command line and the instructions said I needed to have the administrator enable permission to change code. Is there a way to insert new code, like for Google ads or PayPal buttons, without enabling these permissions, since I only have the Contribute and not the DreamWeaver available. Thanks for any advice you can give.

Thanks for asking -- copy and paste works, but I was unable to open the snippet box in the first place! I learned that I was able to make myself the administrator of the site, and then was able to go and enable the html snippet function, which had not been checked. Sincerely, Aaron Elson

HTML snippet _Analytics

Hi,
I'm trying to add an HTML snippet with my Google Analytics code and the snippet is not being added to the page. Has anyone an idea of what I need to do to make it publish with the code?
Perhaps I need to add some before/after tags?? (I'm a bit lost with HTML, but Apple say in the iWeb-09 Help, that you can add any sort of HTML using the snippets.
iWeb-09 3.01, publishing to iDisk (Web/Sites). I'm syncing iDisk locally.
Grant

Okay ... answering my own question. This may well be useful for lots of iWeb-09 users who would like to use Google Analytics on their sites.
*HTML snippets do indeed work.*
_The problem :_
When you choose to insert an HTML Snippet, iWeb-09 always places it in the body of the page. If you try to move it elsewhere, it won't go. Instead, it simply pushes the boundary between the parts to enlarge the body.
_The solution :_
You must put the snippet into the page 'Footer'. To move the snippet into the Footer, you must hold down the Command (Apple) key when moving it. That's all.

HTML Snippets?

I'm probably being exceptionally dim. I've got a series of files exported from Quictime Pro, using the 'Export for Web' function. This also gives me an HTML page & read me to use on the web. Problem is when I cut & paste the HTML Snippet it doesn't work with iWeb.
QTPro is exporting all the versions & scripts to place in the Header & Body of a web page, but iWeb doesn't seem to work with it. I can't for example get to place the HTML snippet in the <header> of the page, nor (i thionk) can I see the source code for iWeb. . .
Any help gratefully received.

Apple uses java script for those but you can do the same with two images like shown on this demo page. The code used is also given. It's pretty standard.

HTML Snippet with containing SWF file covers a PNG button I created

Is there a way to place a PNG picture with a hyperlink over a flash intro? Here's the link to my website: www.recklesswear.com. The enter button had to be placed below the HTML snippet box because it covered the button. I want to have the button higher up on the page. I've brought the "enter" button to the front and sent everything else to the back. Still not working. Thank you.

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Snippets take priority and always end up on top. So you'll either have to put the button below or somewhere else or try what Chuck suggested, incorporate the hyperlink in the flash intro.
Happy Holidays

Html snippets and unknown error when publishing - the mystery deepens

Can anyone make sense of this?
I have been using iWeb for a year or so. Personal site with added extra goodies like widgets using iweb more.
Upgraded to iWeb 08 with a few formatting problems (which I chose to ignore for now) - after version 2.01 I replaced my iweb more extras with the new html snippet thingy and everything was fine - although I still didn't get around to sorting the formatting issues.
Now we are at 2.02 I decided to use one of the new themes and so I created a new page using golden rod and merrily cut and paste from the existing page. I was loathe to delete the old page until I knew the new one was fine - my plan was then to do a bit of page renaming and voila a newly themed home page. Anyway what I got was;
Unknown error - when the new page was being created.
Ok - deleted the offending page - site now publishes fine -so we know this isn't .mac.
Now I decided to build the new page a bit at a time to see what was causing the problem.
It turns out to be a html snippet (which works fine on my home page still);
div style="text-align:center"
a href="http://outcampaign.org/"
img border="0" alt="image" width="143" src="http://pharyngula.org/images/scarlet_A.png" height="122"/
/a
(I have broken the tags by removing the 's so you can see the text itself)
When I added this to an HTML snippet the unknown error returned.
Now I have deleted it and I still get the unknown error for that page.
So this is definitely an iWeb problem and not a .mac problem.
Any ideas?
Home page;
http://web.mac.com/theedonfamily/Site/Home.html

why do you use the snippet to actually add the thing? you can just place the image directly into iweb and then activate it as a link. (there are some errors in the script as well!)
if you want to use the snippet way, then id just change the code a bit:
+⊗p style="text-align: center;"⊗+
+⊗a href="http://outcampaign.org/"⊗+
+⊗img style="border: none;" alt="Image" width="143" src="http://pharyngula.org/images/scarlet_A.png" height="122" /⊗+
⊗/a⊗
⊗/p⊗
replace every ⊗ with either < or >.

HTML Snippet doesn't seem to work

Hi there
I recently upgraded from iWeb 08 to iWeb 09.
My problem is, HTML Snippet Widget doesn't seem to work.
Even though I am able to drag the HTML Snippet onto my page
and they just look fine on my iMac, when I publish and upload the files,
those counter and ads I made using HTML Snippet are all gone.
I see nothing at the places they should be.
What should I do?
Or am I missing something?

Thanks for reply. Old Toad,
I'm hosting my site using third party server, not by using MobileMe.
My counter is made by third party as well.
Here's one of my page using iWeb 08.
http://americatvfilmnotes.web.fc2.com/Public_Enemies.html
Everything is fine.
I can see every ads I put there.
And here's the one I made by basically copying format from the page above.
But this time, I used iWeb 09 and alas,
All my ads are gone.
http://americatvfilmnotes.web.fc2.com/Cheri.html
I just added the counter for this page and uploaded but
I cannot see it as well.
Of course I can see them on my iWeb 09.
I used Cyberduck to upload.
Anyways, the point is, why I cannot do things I could before when
I was using iWeb 08?
I think I'm totally lost.
