Html snippet rectangle is white, hides white overlaying text.

Hi,
Is there any way to change the base color of the rectangle the html snippet displays? I use a snippet to display some flash animation, which doesn't appear in iWeb. I don't mind only getting a rectangle, but it's white, and so it my overlying text. Is there any way to change it?
Thanks!
Bob

single-clicking brings up the grey-translucent 'HTML Snippet' window, in which you can see the html code. Double clicking doesn't do anything. But like I said, it does work fine when I view the 'publish-to-folder' site.
I am new to this program, so maybe i went about installing my .swf movies the wrong way. I just made a folder for them within the site folder that iWeb created. My html code references them using relative-pathnames (ie, "../flash/file.swf").
Maybe the fact that it's flash? Apple doesn't seem to play nicely with Flash much. Still, if it works on the local folder site I don't understand why it shouldn't work on the web. I wouldn't even expect for the flash to run within iWeb, though that would be nice. But ultimately does it work on the web is all I care about -- right now, it does not.

Posterous blog HTML Snippet problem - not all of blog is showing up...

Good morning all! So I was looking for a solution for our newly formed website (I'm a novice) where I could have multiple users update our blog page without having to use iWeb to do it. I read up on Posterous and it appears this would be an ideal solution. So I found some code from another Apple Discussions poster, Alancito, that would pull my Posterous blog directly into the iWeb page I created. Well it has done that, sort of...
I see the header from the blog, but the content isn't visable. Well, actually if you highlight the header or "blog differently" and then hold down like you're scrolling down the page, the info is there. But the HTML snippet always cuts it off. Even if I expand the size of the snippet in iWeb, it ALWAYS reverts back to this same size.
I'm in a bind here and could really use some help.
Here's the blog page address: http://www.sporkfoodwagon.com/SporkFoodWagon/Blog.html
And here's the code I was provided.
<iframe height="100%" allow transparency="true" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" style="width:100%;border=none" src="http://sporkfoodwagon.posterous.com/"></iframe>

Andrew ~ Perhaps someone will suggest a solution to the HTML Snippet problem, but meanwhile, with this recent improvement to Posterous:
http://blog.posterous.com/posterous-unveils-pages
...perhaps you don't need an iWeb site at all. If you must have one, consider linking to your Posterous blog directly from iWeb's navigation bar:
Create a blank internal page titled "Blog" (actually you can name the page whatever you want.) Then in that Blog page add an HTML Snippet with the following code:
<script type="text/javascript">
parent.window.location = "http://www.yourblogname.com"; // change this to your own URL
</script>
...Once published, clicking on "Blog" in the navbar will immediately redirect to your external Blog page. (Thanks to Cyclosaurus for the code).
And to return from Posterous back to your iWeb site:

Gradient to white, scaling and adding text help?

Hello, I'm trying to make a composite image for for a class, my idea was to take a side shot of a guy's head, cut it out, shillotte it and fade the back of his head to white. In the dad center of the picture I want to place a much smaller portrait picture cut to an oval.
As for the text I need to place the guy's name across the top and then fill in the area between the 2 oppisite facing shillottes and the central picture with the text about the guy.
I've managed to figure out how to cut the pics tthe way I want them and reverse the one, but how do I size them correctly? The one in the middle is 220x315, it's the only pic of the guy I could find... the 2 shillottes however are from a pic that was 3600x2400.
Here are some screenshots of where I'm at and what I've started with.

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Those are called tool tips. The can be turned off with java code. Cyclosaurus posted the code to be used in an HTML snippet in this topic: http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=7050854#7050854.
You might investigate using java script for your furniture presentation. There are a lot of possibilities out there. Some that I've come across are:
Jalbum a free application that has over 100 different skins/themes. This demo page shows some of them: Jalbum Examples. Most are customizable so that you can hide the control bar, set the background color, auto start, etc.
To give you an idea of some other types of java based presentations available see the examples below:
SimpleViewer and Flash Album Exporter
Flash Album Exporter Postcard and AutoViewer Slideshow Themes

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).

My html snippet has only worked for 2 minutes in three months.

Warning: Long, descriptive story up ahead.
I bought my macbook pro complete with iLife 08 bundle software in January and eventually I became a little bit more advanced so I wanted to try using "html snippets" in iWeb.
That's when I discovered it was not working on my iWeb. (I have the latest version of iWeb 08 possible). Also, this is of less concern but my navigation menu is not displaying either-- meaning on the face of my webpages the individual Page Titles are not displaying "Main", "About Me" when I choose "display navigation menu" option from the inspector-- all I get is a big stupid empty space. And yes, I have all the options check to "display this page in my navigation menu" or some such.
So I drove over to an applestore (which took a whole freaking day of my time) and they opened up software updates in the store. This was around the whole MobileMe thing, so I got that upgrade too. And magically my iWeb's html snippets started working for the first time ever! I almost cried, but let's face it, there are more beautiful and spectacular things in life worth my tears of joy. Anyway, I indeed was really happy because I thought this was going to be the beginning of me being able to html snippet youtube videos directly onto my site and do other such amazing things!
Then today when I got home, I'm back to the same stupid non-working html snippet feature again!!!!
I can describe the html snippet issue a little bit: In my non-working html snippet version, a little transparent box appears when I try and open up html snippets... in this little box I can't type anything. How iWeb should work is that this black box should appear where you can type in your code and then a separate little box below the black one works on displaying what you coded.
One maybe important thing I noticed is that... You know how when you open up iWeb, in the left column by your sites there are/were those blue globe .mac picture? Well, after the MobileMe upgrade in the store (just yesterday actually on the 27th), those blue globes turned into blue squares with white clouds. So I think the conversion from .mac to MobileMe helped fixed my bugs? Because today my html snippets doesn't work again and I'm back to the .mac blue globes. I want those little blue squares with white clouds again if it will fix my issue!!
HELP, please. Thanks!

I would look at several things. I'm assuming it shows fully charged after you charge it and that this is a new iphone and not used. Check your location services under Privacy: Location Services for apps that use your location. If you have apps always checking your location it can use power. Turn off any you don't really need. You can always turn them back on.
Check you wifi settings. Turn off the " Ask to join other Networks". If you are driving down the road it will be looking for other networks to join.
Turn off any apps running in the background that are not needed.
Restart your iPhone after you have done this. Hopefully this will improve your battery usage.

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.

HTML Snippets move around in different browsers

I added an HTML Snippet (Skype button) and a Google map to a web site designed with iWeb. Both of these items move up or down in different browsers (Safari, Firefox, Internet Explorer). Is there any way to lock the position of these widgets, so they don't move? The page with these problems can be found at: http://www.follow-your-nose.com/fyn/Contact.html

I have the same trouble, the strange thing is that out of 3 pages it works fine on 1, on the other 2 pages the HTML snippet moves up or down depending on the browser type.
So why does it work on this 1 page ?
Another problem I have is that links to recommend another site sometimes format themselves. I make them White Pink Grey, so in iWeb they work fine, but when published some of them suddenly being back to the original colors.
Another problem I have is that some Amazon Ads do not work in the HTML snippets, why the **** is that ?
iWeb *****, all that work for this not satisfying result.
thanks for any help you might give me....
the main concerned site is www.hongkong-experience.net you can see the problems on the what to do page, here the snippet moves as well as on the same page in german, it the french version it doesnt ??

Can't edit HTML snippets

Hello there,
This is around the third time I ask about this issue. I installed Leopard with iLife '08, and later (after I started having the problem) installed iLife '09.
What happens is, when I try to add an HTML snippet, I am presented with a blank box with a white outline, which I cannot alter in any way, save for moving and resizing it. Also, I cannot edit the HTML snippets I added before I had this problem. And finally, the dynamic preview of my blog merely displays the same blank box I described above. This happens in both iWeb '08 and iWeb '09.
The problem arose after I started poking around in folders such as /Library, /System/Library, and /Users/Sean/Library (I'm not exactly sure, as this was around four months ago). The thing is, I opened iWeb again nearly a week after, so I'm not completely certain there is a correlation, although I consider this the most likely culprit.
Please don't tell me to edit or delete .plist files, as this has no effect. Nor does creating a new /Users/Sean/Library/Application Support/iWeb/Domain work (which, oddly enough, I thought did, but it was after a Leopard reinstall).
I would really appreciate if you speculated on which file I need to restore (try adding an HTML snippet in a working iWeb, while running Activity Monitor, and browsing the files it uses?), and I can restore it using Pacifist (http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/12743) and my Leopard install DVD. By the way, is it safe to do this, now that I have iWeb '09 installed? I would imagine, since upgrading didn't fix the issue, but I can't be certain...
Thank you so much for putting up with this,
SeanDaBomb

Try Troubleshooting 101: delete the iWeb preference file, com.apple.iWeb.plist, repair disk permissions, reboot and try again.
If that doesn't help log into another account on your Mac, open iWeb, create a test site and see if you can use the snippets there as intended. If not then a reinstall of iWeb seems warranted. To do so you'll have to delete the current application and all files with "iWeb" in the file name that reside in the HD/Library/Receipts folder.
If the snippets are able to be used correctly in the other account then there's something in your account that is amiss. Post back with the results.

SSRS Reporting: Can I make a rectangle that truly hide

I have a report at the bottom of which has an optional section. This optional section is entirely contained in a rectangle. My problem is, when I set this rectangle's hidden property to true i.e. to display it on last page only, it is hidden
but there is still white spaces added to the end of the report (where the rectangle would be). Is there anything I can do to get it all the way hidden?
Islam Lives long

Hi ahmedmalam,
According to your description, you find when you select "Hide" in Rectangle Properties to hide a rectangle, it just hide the content inside of rectangle, the space of rectangle is still remaining in report. Right?
Actually, we all also find this issue when testing. If we select "Hide" to hide a rectangle, the white space is still remaining. If we use expression to hide the rectangle, the white space will also be hidden. So in this scenario, please try an expression
like “=IIF(1=1,true,false)” to hide the rectangle. It can achieve your requirement. We are still trying to figure out the reason. We will inform you if we find something.
If you have any question, please feel free to ask.
Best Regards,
Simon Hou

Html snippets with style

I'm trying to do a (for now) simple form in iweb using the html snippets tool. The text in the non-form parts of my page use white Calibri of various sizes ("I'm using the "Darkroom" page template). The static text in my form looks like Times and is black. So my question: How do I get the static text in my form to assume the same style(s) as in the rest of the page?
I'd like to avoid having to redo the form every time that page gets updated so that's why I'm not hand hacking the html, although this may turn out to be the better way to go.
TIA,
eric

What's the code you're using in the HTML snippet. Post it here using the Quote button. Then we can see if font attributes can be added to it.
Is this a Form Action type of form? See this demo page for examples: Embedding Forms

Weird HTML snippet frame behavior...

Hi, I am using the HTML snippet to do some CSS stuff. Pasting the code in the HTML snippet box and clicked the Apply button.
Wow! the snippet frame (normally with 6 small white squares for you to resize the frame to display all the snippet content) suddenly expands to 7,124,555 px in width!!!
I can't use this snippet without spending 10mins to reduce the width to the proper width.... does anyone come across this problem and found a solution?
BTW, the HTML code in the snippet references 1 CSS file, and 1 javascript file stored in the proper location on my idisk (the same idisk location iWeb08 would publish my site), and iWeb08 is reading the files OK. If the CSS and JS files are not referenced properly (ie, the files do not exist on idisk), the snippet won't exhibit this weird behavior....

IWeb HTML Snippet not working!Help!

I am new to building a website but understand where to copy and paste the HTML code to and from. However, everything I have tried will not work in the HTML Snippet. I have spent 6 hours trying to find a way to get it to work. Suggestions???

Anything from Youtube, Vimeo and other sites. Below is one of the Youtube embedded codes.
<iframe width="420" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/kCZqyWw2--M?rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
This is the "old" code for the below video.
<object width="420" height="315"><param name="movie" value="//www.youtube.com/v/kCZqyWw2--M?version=3&hl=en_US&rel=0"></para m><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="//www.youtube.com/v/kCZqyWw2--M?version=3&hl=en_US&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="420" height="315" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object>
Neither of these will work. The "old" code will make my html box turn white but nothing else happens.
Any suggestions?

The white line over the text in a title

how can I enlarge the white line over the text in a title to not have the text out of the frame when I want to add another line?

If you are speaking of the white bar upon which you are entering text in say a 'gradient edge' title, click title in the inspector window having the title selected. There you can change the width of the horizontal bar:
In the screenshot above I have used gradient edge title. The bar is of black color and you can change the color to white or any other color by tinkering with the controls in the inspector window [red oval]; you can also increase or decrease with the bar's width by changing its parameters within the 'yellow rectangle'; and, if you so need, you can push up or push down the bar by manipulating the bar vertical position tool located below the yellow rectangle.
Hope this helps. If the white line you have mentioned above is something other than the bar I have referred to, then let me know. Cheers. Have a great day.

IWeb HTML Snippet NOT WORKING.

Hello!
Whenever I open iWeb and try to insert HTML Snippet, the proper HTML rectangle that has < H T M L > and a map of the world in the background appears, just like that. No edit box has appeared. When I double click it, a blue outline appears, but still no edit box to insert the HTML code into.
I've tried removing com.apple.iWeb.plist and also com.apple.iapp.plist or something along those lines, and also removing the iWeb folder from Caches, and nothing has worked.
I'm using iWeb 2.0.4, obviously.

Did you purchase iLife 09 in your attempt to upgrade to iWeb 3? If not that's why you couldn't run any of the iWeb 3 updaters. You have to have iWeb 3.0 installed from the iLife disk installed.
What was unsuccessful about trying to reinstall iWeb 2? Did you delete all receipts with iWeb in the file name located in the HD/Library/Receipts folder before reinstalling iWeb? If no, delete them and the application and reinstall.

Print this Page Java html snippet

I decided to try adding the above to one of my pages in iWeb.
I added the java code as shown on Old Toad's site:-
<form>input type="button" value=" Print this Page "
onclick="javascript:parent.window.print();return false;"/></form>
I placed this code in an html snippet in iWeb and applied it and it showed up as Print this Page in the site. I then published the site to a local folder and uploaded the changed pages to my external server. After uploading, I visited my site and tried clicking on the button and it did not work.
Anyone know why it did not work? The code is correct and I copied and pasted from OT's site directly into an html snippet.
Is the code site or page specific or generic, that it will work for any site?
Does it only work in MobileMe published sites and not for sites uploaded to an external server?
Any insights gratefully received.

Does the print button work when the site was on your HD locally? Here's some different code that you might try:
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
// This script was supplied free by Hypergurl // <a class="jive-link-external-small" href="http://www.hypergurl.com">http://www.hypergurl.com</a>  </script>
The original code should work on any server as far as I know. Cyclosaurus is the authority on javascript and should have an answer.
This Google search has numerous examples of code:http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&safe=active&client=safari&rls=en-us&ei=MBCjSd X6LoK2sQOIj8zGCQ&sa=X&oi=spell&resnum=0&ct=result&cd=1&q=javascriptto+printpage&spell=1
