HTML with iWeb

Hi,
I just got the iWeb program, im trying to access the html code to add extra's to my site.
Currently I am just closing down iWeb and editing through a text program, but im wondering if there is a way to view the html within iWeb so i dont have to close everything down, etc.
Also when i do this, all changes to the html have to be after im done editing with iWeb because the changes wont load when i load my site in iWeb.
Any help would be good, thanks.

You can't view html with iWeb, and any custom html
you add via a text editor or other means will be
erased whenever you republish the page using iWeb.
It really isn't an appropriate tool for what you
want to do, at least not in this version.
That is a real BUMMER! After spending many hours over this weekend setting my site up, I need to add a bit of html at the end of my welcome page:
It is a dynamic weather report.
I figured out how to add it with a text editor, but every time the file is edited in iWeb and then published, the added code is erased! I hope there will be a way to deal with this WITHIN iWeb soon.

Problem insurting html with iWeb

Hi,
I would like to add this menu that I created in html (http://www.carnet2voyages.com/menu.html) to a page of my site (http://www.carnet2voyages.com) with iWeb.
I copied the code in "insert html fragment" in iweb, but the menu is too big for my page and font-size doesn't seem to work in the head.
fontsize seems to work in <body>, but there is a problem with the links
Is it possible to put <head> in fragment? If not how can we work on the <head> section?
Thank you for your help.

Nothing wrong with the menu file. You may want to add a [DOCTYPE|http://www.alistapart.com/articles/doctype>.
If it is to wide, eihter remove a menu item or increase the width of Accueil.html . But I displayed the menu on top of the page and it should fit.
Any changes to the menu, like fontsize, color etc., should be done in the menu file.
To make the menu work in a webwidget add target="_top" to every url in the menu. Otherwise a page will open in the tiny space of the menu. So it should look like this:
+<a class="menu1" href="http://www.carnet2voyages.com/Ouest-Americain/Infos.html" target="_top">Infos</a>+
[Here's a sample of a dropmenu|http://web.mac.com/wyodor/Dropmenu/pagewithdropmenu.html]

How do I reinstall iWeb 3.0.3? I inadvertently opened an html file of my website and tried to open it with iWeb '09. I get a message saying "Can't open file" etc., etc. I've tried reinstalling the updated version. Iweb will not open.

Delete the iWeb preference file, com.apple.iWeb.plist, that resides in your Home/Library/Preferences folder. Then launch iWeb and see if it opens.
What happened was trying to open the html file reset the file path that iWeb saves in its preference file to tell it where to go when you launch iWeb. Deleting the pref file and launching iWeb creates a new file and iWeb looks in your Users/Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder for the Domain.sites2 file it uses to create your site.

HTML mail with iWeb?

I trust that everyone saw/received one of those e-mails, that are an html document (from a store as an example).
Is it possible to do that with iWeb? Design a page and export it as an html-e-mail?
Thank you.

I emailed it to Old Toad. I don't have your email!
I use an application called SerialMailer to create html flyers and send bulk email. If you do a lot of this kind of stuff it may be worth looking at.
I have some info here....

Setting up Online chat or realt ime messaging with iWeb

I am new to this, so apologies if question is niave.
I want to be able to to set up a messaging system through a web-site (created with iWeb) & have an online chat facilitiy preferably in real time, rather than posts on a messge board, so I can ask questions & direct the chat.
Its for a structured discussion for some PhD research I am doing.
Is there some way to combine iChat & iWeb. I was thinking through the 'group' service on dot.mac, using jabber on bonjour?
BTW (I have never used jabber or bonjour before, so all advice gratefully received).
Many Thanks

Unfortunately this first version of iWeb doesn't really lend itself to doing what it is you are trying to do. In order for you to achieve this you will have to get under the bonnet so to speak. You can either have a link such as the one you will find here: http://web.mac.com/justin_stevens/iWeb/Lounge/About%20Me.html which will initiate an iChat / AIM session with you directly. (If you wish to do something like this I can help you manually edit the necessary files). Or else you can try something slightly more clever as outlined here: http://homepage.mac.com/cherrypop/iblog/C1900478167/E20060301171845/index.html The advantage of the latter is that your web site will show your offline / online status as well as initiating a chat session with you when clicked. Hope this is of some help to you. Don't hesitate to get in touch should you require anything further.
Kind Regards,
Justin

Is there are a way to delay the display of a page with iweb 08?

I have a page with a lot of content (SportsOutreachOnline.com -> Sports). The page takes a little while to load and look very unprofessional while doing it. It loads each piece and displays it piece of the website one at a time. I would like it to load like 70-90% of the way before displaying any content.
In other words, I would like the page to load most of the way before displaying itself. Is this possible to do with iweb 08?

I'm sorry, but I guess I don't really understand your answer. I added an HTML snipet which made an invisible frame in the page and i typed in.
"<script type="text/javascript">
parent.document.body.style.visibility = "hidden";
fucntion showBody()
parent.document.body.style.visibility = "visible";
setTimeout("showBody()", 5000);
</script>"
I'm sure I'm doing something wrong, but I just don't know what.

Go to YT and grab the code.
Paste it in a HTML Snippet.

Have published iweb site for five years with no problems and just opened a new site and get - 404: Page not found This error is generated when there was no web page with the name you specified at the web site.-is the problem with iweb or with hosting? T

I am sorry if thie is republished-My first time doing this and I am not sure what goes where and where to hear feedback.
Have published iweb site for five years with no problems and just opened a new site and get -
404: Page not found
This error is generated when there was no web page with the name you specified at the web site.-
Troubleshooting suggestions:
Ensure the page you are linking to exists in the correct folder.
Check your file name for case sensitivity . Index.htm is not the same as index.htm!
Temporarily disable any rewrite rules by renaming your .htaccess file if it exists
is the problem with
iweb or with hosting?
One Apple tech started to fix Iweb and had to end session and the next said problem with hosting at Network Solutions as it published
to local folder. NWS has checked sttting a few times-
Any help would be extremely appreciated as trying to fix this for about five weeks

It's a really bad idea to post your email address - it's an invitation to spam - and I've asked the Hosts to remove it. (Even though I've now noticed you mis-spelled it! - anyway, never post your address in a forum.)
You have a site here: http://virginiagordon.com/www.virginiagordon.com/WELCOME.html
If that's not the page you are having trouble with, what is that page's URL?

I am busy making a website with iweb. Do you know if it is possible to make a page with a slideshow which does not contain jpg's but other documents?

I am busy making a website with iweb. Can I only make a page with a slideshow containing jpg's? I would like to make a (pages) document with pictures and have this as a slideshow. Is that possible?

If you use Keynote rather than Pages you can export as HTML to get a slideshow...

Or you can use a JQuery slider that will display text, images, movies etc...

I have created a site with iWeb. I have replaced the iWeb Nav bar with a vertical one I made myself. Problem is, my top button disables itself if it overlaps into the "hidden" nav bar area. I can cmd click and drag it into this area, but then all the rest

I have created a site with iWeb. I have replaced the iWeb Nav bar with a vertical one I made myself. Problem is, my top button disables itself (and the animation doesn't work) if it overlaps into the "hidden" nav bar area (indicated by a blue rectangle). I can cmd click and drag it into this area, but then all the rest of my site is pushed down the page. Don't know what to do about this. I don't know how to bring the rest of the page up without dragging it also into the designated nav bar area. Also, by doing this, is it affecting my site in ant way? see my site here at www.steveburrowsimages.com
The home page is with it all draged into the nav bar area and the about page is with is outside the nav bar area (notice that the top button does not animate or work as a button.
Getting confused here. Anyone got any ideas?

Well, you made a good start with SEO by getting rid of the iWeb default navigation since it doesn't help the spiders and, out there in the real world, there are more people than you would think with javascript turned off in their browsers.
One of the downsides of iWeb is that it doesn't allow for the alt attribute in the img tag. Its well worth adding these to give you extra keywords even if you have captioned all your images. Use iWeb SEO Tool for this...
http://www.iwebformusicians.com/Search-Engine-Optimization/Tags.html
iWeb, just like most drag and drop software, creates a huge amount of code which causes the pages to load slowly in the browser. Running you files through an optimizer will help to reduce this problem and further reduce the size of image files even beyond the initial optimization you do before loading them into iWeb...

Problem with iWeb publishing to IE

Hello, I am experiencing a problem with iWeb '08 publishing content to Internet Explorer. The images and web pages look fine in Safari and in Firefox, but a lot of the web page images are mirrored in IE, covering up large parts of the text. Please don't tell me I have to spend $79.00 on upgrading to iLife '09. I just upgraded my iWorks to '09, but would upgrading to '09 in this instance even be the answer? Please advise. I fear that I will alienating any of my IE web surfers. Any help and advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Hello and welcome to the board.
IE is a terrible browser to render pages made with IWeb (I'm not sure upgrading to ILife 09 will fix your problem).
I decided to somewhat "alienate" my IE visitor by putting a message on my home page that recommend them to use a compatible browser. Check my page (using IE here: http://www.wesdotphotography.com/Home.html) and look at the message. Also if you use any other browser you will not see my message and will experience a better browsing. It is not the fault of IWeb but more like Microsoft not writing a proper browser. a lot of people will confirm my say.
Search this forum and you will see a lot of complaints about IE.
Good luck
Thierry

How to recover a page created with iweb

I have created a personal website with iweb on my laptop.The hard drive of my macbook died and i lost all datas. My webpage is published on the net but i do not know how to access it, modify it or even delete it! help please :-)

The file you need to have from your old hard drive is titled Domain.sites and would have been kept in your Users/Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder on that hard drive.
If you have a backup of that file somewhere get it and put it in the Users/Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder on the new hard drive, replacing the domain file that's there, and open with iWeb. That will get your website back in iWeb.
If you do not have a backup of that file you will have to rebuild your website from scratch because iWeb can't import or read published html files. It can only create them.
If you have to rebuild from scratch Chapter 2.3 on the iWeb FAQ.org site has tips on using some of the existing files, image, audio, video, etc., from the published site in the recreation of the new site.

I created a website with iWeb but use GoDady for hosting it rather than MobileMe. The images on my Gallery page do not show at all on the external domain but they DO show when seen on MobileMe. Has anyone encountered this problem before? Many thanks!

Hello al!
I created a website with iWeb but use GoDady for hosting it rather than MobileMe. The images on my Gallery page do not show at all on the external domain but they DO show when seen on MobileMe. Has anyone encountered this problem before? Many thanks!

Just create a new page (or use the existing photo page) on your external site and use html to add an iframe sized to the page and link it to the mobilme gallery page. Works for me just fine when showing my gallery from a yahoo site.
like this
<iframe scrolling="off" allowTransparency="true" frameborder="0" scrolling="yes" style="width:100%;height:100%;border:none" src="http://gallery.me.com/your_account_name"></iframe>
