HTML Snippet - usual behaviour?

I am updating an iWeb '06 site to '08. I am using the HTML snippet feature to embed a YouTube video. When I do I have what I can only describe as a flashing box in the middle of the video - this is in iWeb itself, I haven't published yet. Does anyone know what might be going on? Is this usual behaviour?
Thanks,
David.

I've just updated another page on my site which has a video which is not from YouTube - no flashing box on that one.

IMix not working as HTML snippet

Can someone please help me!
I have created an iMix and linked it to my iWeb site, as a HTML snippet embedded in the page. When opening the page in Safari 3.0.4 I find the link to the iMix works, but not the arrow links from to the tracks.
I open the page in FireFox (usual browser) and I find that none of the links work, the embed just refreshes and does nothing.

Yes, I know it is an iWeb template but it is supposed to be easier than getting my hands dirty with the code. I may have to resort to that though. This is reminding me why I left web development.
I am using OS 10.1.5, Safari 3.0.4, iWeb 2.0.2, FireFox 2.0.0.11 on a MBookPro 2.33Ghz 2Gb.
It is also 22.25, I have been trying to do this for hours, so I will hopefully wake up enlightened!
Thanks for the help

HTML Snippet Font

Hello --
I have an HTML snippet embedded on one of my iWeb pages that provides a list of events that have been entered on to a BigTent group. The page on BigTent that provided the code displayed what the snippet should look like, and the text was in a sans serif font (Arial or Helvetica) that would nicely blend in with the look of the site I am working on, however, when I actually pasted the snippet onto the iWeb page, it displayed in Times font. I have tried to add in a line of code to change the font, but it never does change. Here is the snippet (with no alterations):
<script type="text/javascript"
src="https://www.bigtent.com/hosted/sdhsa/calendar/upcoming?hosted_key=42742
419ae77ecead0502edab9715469&nevents=5&days=90"></script>
Any ideas on how I can get this to display in a specific font (in this case, helvetica)?
Thanks!

Enclose the JavaScript with a <span> and use a style
<script type="text/javascript"
src="https://www.bigtent.com/hosted/sdhsa/calendar/upcoming?hosted_key=42742

Html Snippet Code from BandsInTown not working...

I have just installed a list of tour dates using BandsInTown App linked with my
facebook page here
https://www.facebook.com/pages/Anna-Corcoran-Music/173909359323639
And i have selected the box offering the code to embed the dates onto my
website here at www.annacorcoran.com which is:
<script type='text/javascript' src='
http://www.bandsintown.com/javascripts/bit_widget.js'></script>
<script type='text/javascript'>var widget = new BIT.Widget({"artist":"Anna
Corcoran Music","prefix":"fbjs"});widget.insert_events();</script>
But when I paste the code into the html snippet box in iweb just
an empty box with a faint outline appears. Is this to do with needing to adjust the code for
iweb?
HELP!! Why isn't it working?!
Anna

Okay - last question where in the code below Can I change the colour of the text?
<script type='text/javascript' src='http://www.bandsintown.com/javascripts/bit_widget.js'></script>
<script type='text/javascript'>var widget = new BIT.Widget({"artist":"Anna Corcoran Music","prefix":"fbjs"});widget.insert_events();</script>

How to capture an HTML snippet like dashboard widget?

How do you copy a website html to paste into an iWeb 09 html snippet? Is there a copy command in the Safari browser like when you clip a snippet to make a Dashboard widget? That would be too easy. Do I need some other software for copying the html?

Photog Dog wrote:

Drag your pointer over the embed code so that it is all highlighted in blue. Then do ⌘C to copy it and then paste it into iWeb's HTML Snippet window by doing ⌘V.
Is there a copy command in the Safari browser like when you clip a snippet to make a Dashboard widget?
No — Only the general ⌘C and ⌘V editing commands mentioned above.
Do I need some other software for copying the html?
No.

WEB WIDGET - HTML SNIPPET how to post myspace music in iWeb

i'm making a site for a band. i'm using the *web widget- html snippet* to insert the myspace player from a band. the bands site is http://www.myspace.com/mod39lone.
this is the code i'm putting in :
<embed src="http://lads.myspace.com/music/musicplayer.swf?n=aHR0cDovL211c2ljLm15c3BhY2 UuY29t&t=wz7NYVvdN1sD5sZn5jwqhteIJEBAWtU7cGxSvblOZr59VYuvhFOEuaUs29mG1lCNKsOUiB4 00Vl6iAOogScxHQ==&u=LTE=&a=0&d=MTc4MzA0MTgxXjExODc3NDE1MjU=" quality=high bgcolor=#FFFFFF width="450" height="345" name="mp3player" align=""type="application/x-shockwave-flash" FlashVars="culture=nl-NL"pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplay er"> </embed>
when i'm editing iWeb, the player shows up and plays the music and everything is fine! but when i publish the site, it says "Movie not loaded" when you click on it.
the site i'm currently working on is still being worked on, but i made an extra page to show whoever could help me. the link is:
http://web.me.com/henreegee/IamTokyo/Blank.html

That method can be done using iFrame code in an HTML snippet. You need to upload the Family Matters - Computer.m4v file to your server and link to it there via an HTML snippet and iFrame code. An example is in this demo page along with the code: QT movies via iFrame.
There are other ways to add the movie (the full one Family Matters - Computer.m4v.
One is to upload the file to your server and linking to it as shown in this demo page: Opening Item in a New, Precisely Sized Window.
The method you posted is explained in this tutorial: Old Toad's Tutorial #18 - Adding Movie/Video File to iWeb Page via Export for Web in Quicktime Player. To see the edits click on the buttons in steps 5a and 5b.

HTML Snippet does not exist as a Widget option in iWeb 09

I have iWeb 09 on my machine. I'm trying to insert an HTML Snippet onto a page so i can drop in the code for a XSPF player.
When i choose "Show Media", under Widgets there are only four, and HTML Snippet isn't one of them. I only have:
MobileMe Gallery
Google AdSense
iSight Photo
iSight Movie
I also don't have the YouTube widget, the Google Map Widget--these i only know about by looking in support and seeing that these should all be there.
Any thoughts as to how i can get HTML Snippet available in my media widgets? My site is almost completed and ready to publish. Without this feature it will be pointless to publish at all.
Many thanks for any suggestions!
Peter

Can you post the code you are using so that we can see what the problem is?

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).

HTML Snippet widget bug report.

Dear Apple iWeb 08 Engineers.
I didn't know where to send this bug report and so I have resorted to this forum. I hope it gets to you somehow.
When creating a simple HTML Snippet in a page it seems that the piece of code that refers to the newly created widget in the .html for the page has a bug in it. For example, I have a page on my website called "Animation"; it has a simple HTML Snippet the code for which has been tested (by viewing the file widget0_markup.html in a browser). In Animation.html the following line appears
<iframe id="widget0-frame" src=".//Animationfiles/widget0markup.html" frameborder="0" style="width: 100%; height: 100%;" scrolling="no" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" allowTransparency="true"></iframe>
Surely the pathname in the "src" option is in error (what the **** is .//?). If I change it to ./ by hand then everything works. Please change this asap, because at the moment I have to go into every page and change it by hand after publishing.
Many thanks, Marvin.

Thanks for the reply, but I'm afraid that I'm not convinced.
In all the flavours of unix that I've ever used ./ is the current directory, ../ is the parent directory and ../../ is the grandparent directory (not .// as you suggest). In any case, the path name of source file in question is ./Animationfiles/widget0markup.html (assuming the code in question is in the file Animation.html) and so going up the tree into the grandparent directory is not what you want to do anyway; the directory Animation_files is always in the same directory as Animation.html and the file widget0_markup.html is saved, by iWeb upon publication, in the directory ./Animation_files.
In short, I still think it's a bug, but thanks for the advice; I apologise if I am wrong.
Marvin.

Embed iCal into iWeb through HTML snippet after Lion OSX update

How do I embed my published iCal calendar into iWeb through an HTML snippet AFTER the Lion OSX update last month? I use iWeb to create my classroom website but it no longer has my interactive calendar for my students. Help!

I am curious about this too, does anyone know how to embed a Lion iCal Calendar into iWeb?
I found an old walkthrough of how to do it, but on the published site it just opens ical and offers a subscription, you cannot actually see the calendar on the web page it is embedded on.
Thanks!

HTML Snippet was working on iWeb 08 but not now on iWeb 09

Having upgraded to iWeb 09 from iWeb 08, suddenly I am unable to upload slideshows using a third party program called "SlideShowPro for Lightroom" successfully. They embed in iWeb fine but once they export they do not show up online. So, in short the slideshow shows up online but do not show up embedded onto the final iWeb page.
Link to unembedded slideshow (which works fine)...
http://www.jonnyback.com/lightroom_slideshows/markandemma/loader.swf
Link to website without slideshow showing up...
http://www.jonnyback.com/markandemma3
Code used to embed slideshow in HTML Snippet inside of iWeb 09 (which previsouly worked in iWeb 08)
http://www.jonnyback.com/markandemma3code
Finally, here is a screen grab of iWeb09 showing my site and how the slideshow is fine in iWeb but isn't once it is exported...
http://www.jonnyback.com/downloads/iWeb_Screenshot.jpg
Here is an example of a page which I uploaded from iWeb 08, and it works fine, but only because I exported it to a folder whilst I was still using iWeb 08...
http://www.jonnyback.com/mattandanna
The Slideshow also shows up here fine...
http://www.jonnyback.com/markandemma3files/widget0markup.html
And iWeb can not get a native iWeb Photo Gallery loading online in a similar way, it just doesn't show up online either...
http://www.jonnyback.com/markandemma2iwebphoto
I've tried loading the page on a different server with the same issue, the Slideshow Pro gallery just does not show.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated,
Jonny

Thank you Roddy, I have done my homework but it isn't wokring yet.
In the iWeb native Photo Gallery page, I have come up with the scenario again where it works in a subfolder...
http://www.jonnyback.com/Site/markandemma2iwebphototest.html
But not on the normal website domain...
http://www.jonnyback.com/markandemma2iwebphototest.html
As a check I did find out that the Slideshow still doesn't work with the subfolder "/Site" scenario...

How bizarre!
Any ideas?

How do I change the style of text in an HTML Snippet?

Hello everyone,
I'm using an HTML snippet with an iFrame tag in it. What formatting code do I include in the snippet so that the style of the text is the same as that of the default text object for the particular iWeb theme I'm using?
Much obliged,
Gregory

Use CSS to format fonts. Look here for info.

Html snippets don't work in iWeb 09.

I've not added an html snippet to my site for a while, but they've worked in the past. Now they look fine when I'm working in iWeb, but when I go to the site after uploading, there's nothing visible. If I select all, I can see the box that should be holding the stuff of the snippet. I've tried reinstalling the preferences file and that didn't do anything.
Here's one page:
http://virtualfieldwork.org/ReaLBlog.html
And another (this one you need to scroll down):
http://virtualfieldwork.org/2011_PD_Application.html
The formatting at the top doesn't match what I did either -- I made a cross through of the May 10 deadline and the updated information in red. So, there's more quirky than the snippets.
I recently upgraded to a brand new MacBook Pro and transfered everything via Firewire from my old MacBook Pro. The same problem was going on on the old computer.
Thanks,
Don

The application page (http://virtualfieldwork.org/2011_PD_Application.html) has this:
<iframe src="https://spreadsheets.google.com/embeddedform?formkey=cjFRUGZ5cFdxLVlLcW1LeXZvOTJ weFE6MA.." width="760" height="4400" frameborder="0" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0">Loading...</iframe>
The ReaLBlog page (http://virtualfieldwork.org/ReaLBlog.html) has this:
<iframe src=http://realearthsystemscience.blogspot.com/
style="width:1000px; height:1500px;
border-width:0px;
border-color:#990033;
border-style:solid;"
scrolling="auto" >
</iframe>
There are also Facebook and Stumble Upon buttons that aren't working/appearing.
After perusing the related posts, I was hoping Old Toad would reply.
Thanks!
Don

HTML snippet works on Firefox but not in IE or Safari

First off, I'm a newbie.
I just created a webcam site in iWeb at www.blackcatcam.com. I used the following HTML snippet to show the webcam image;
http://home.comcast.net/~ebizboy/Webcam.jpg />
It is supposed to go get a constantly updated webcam image from the server and display it on the web site.
The entire page works fine using Firefox but the webcam image does not show up using Safari and the HTML snippet itself shows up when accessing the page from IE.
Any suggestions?
Regards,
Gatto Nero

Yikes. Now I'm even more confused. I am using Safari Version 4.0.3. I can see the links on the right and the ads on the left just fine, but still no webcam image. Would you mind clicking on the link for the Live View and let me know if that works for you? I found out that the gadget I used for that won't work with IE but it works fine for me with Safari and Firefox.
