Html5 effects in iWeb site.

Hello, everyone.
After creating a couple of websites in iWeb I've decided that they could benefit from some effects and would like to do them using html5 to avoid Flash.
I've thought about leaving the space for the visual effects I wish to add empty, and then open the same page in another editor to create it. I have Dreamweaver CS5 that came with my Adobe Suite but haven't yet used it so I am not familiar with its features and ease of use. I have also noticed two application on the app store that seem to have received praised. They are "Flux3" and "Hype".
Any idea as to how simple these are to use and whether they would allow me to create the effects I wish to create. Some of the effects are:
1. A photo displayed on a page that stays on for a few seconds and is then replaced with another. The photo moves to the left while the next one moves in coming from the right. I would like to configure the number of photos in this loop before the first one displays again as well as the number of second each photo stays on and how fast the transition takes place. If possible I would also like to set the type of transition such as fade or move.
2. A photo that once clicked is enlarged to a size almost as big as the browser window, in the center of the window while the remaining of the browser window gets darker to emphasize the image in the center.
3. Other effects (specially those involving object motion or video)
Do you know if the app above can handle this ?
Thank you in advance.

see this thread on hype & iweb:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/15282382
as for your questions:
#1) such slideshow is already there in iweb:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/15299711
#2) it can be done with lytebox, shadowbox, highslide... but if you want to do that from iweb photos page, you are on you on own because that involved iweb widgets.
it can be done in iweb photos page:

Is it possible to make an iWeb site accessible to mobile phones? (in Japan)

Is it possible to make an iWeb site accessible to mobile phones? (I'm in Japan)
I've tried making a tiny site but my own phone (au A5516T by Toshiba) can't display it.
The URL is accepted but displays just a white blank screen.
I can't see anything about it in this iWeb forum or iWeb Help. Which I guess means that either it's impossible or that it's so elementary I shouldn't have to ask!
Is there some special code involved?
Any hints much appreciated. Thanks.
Simon

Autoforward one page in iWeb site to .Mac gallery?

Does anyone know if there is a way to have one of your iWeb pages autoforward to another site? I would like my "Picture" page in my iWeb site to automatically forward to my .Mac gallery, rather than force people to have to click the link.
Any advice is appreciated.
Thank you!

Here's another way to do it and it will be automatic, no viewer effort required: add the following code to the head portion of your Pictures page after publishing it:
<meta http-equiv="REFRESH" content="0;url=http://www.the-domain-you-want-to-redirect-to.com">.
Replace the “0” with the number of seconds you would like to pass before the redirection takes place. Put in the URL of your destination site.
Any time you make changes to that particular page or use the Publish All to MobileMe you will have to reedit that page. This page demonstrates the effect.
The demo is set to go to another page in the site but you can send the visitor to any URL you desire.

Making an iweb site for .mac on a computer with no internet connection

Hi.
I am making an iweb site for publishing to a .mac account on a computer that is supposed to have internet access via airport, but it's not working properly at the moment.
I would really like to transfer the site onto my other machine in my office which has a decent broadband connection (I have iweb installed on there too). Is it possible to transfer a site that is yet to be published from one computer to another?
regards
David T

David,
You might want to try burning your Domain file to a CD or DVD by using http://iWebFAQ.com/iWebBackup.zip and opening the file & Publish from the other computer while effectively backing up your Domain file in the process.

Trying to embed images from my iWeb site

Sorry if this has been asked before but I did a search and could not find any answers.
I upgraded from iLife 06 to 08 and managed to get a seamless transition of my iWeb site. The only problem now is that I seem unable to embed images from my site into other web pages on other sites. It used to be a case of copying and pasting the image address into the other web page. Now however it comes up with a very different looking image address that no longer ends with .jpg(jpeg) I have tried adding the .jpg to the end of the address without any success. Am I simply missing the obvious or is this feature no longer available?
Thanks for any help

Disable slideshow or not won't effect the way javascript render photos page images into canvas and anchor links.
But, You can:
1) get Safari 3.1.1, and turn on Develop menu. Safari -> Preferences... -> Advanced -> Show Develop menu in menu bar (bottom item). This allows you to see all the elements in the page.
2) get Firefox, FF has DOM Inspector and Page Info.
With the above, you will have to wade thru the info and fish out the links. or,
3) using script to do the heavy lifting (scripting is your friends), there two free scripting languages: AppleScript and JavaScript in every mac.
Combine the two and with understanding of iweb and DOM and you have the ultimate tools for iweb developing, here is the result of your first three links (I have all of them, but just post three here):

Retrieve iweb site from godaddy

I had to do a clean install on my mac pro - so could not alter my iweb site which is hosted on godaddy, using fetch I retrieved the all web site files in one folder, but cannot seem to get iweb to run them.
Is there a special place that I should put them?
Thanks
Mike

iWeb won't 'run' those pages because iWeb has no import facility so is unable to open html files and a published site, which is effectively what you have downloaded from GoDaddy.
Did you not backup your hard drive before you did a clean install? Did you not back up your domain.sites file to be precise? This is where iWeb stores all its data and is the file that you need to be able to make any alterations to your site. It is located under User/Library/Application Support/iWeb/domain.sites. Make sure it is your User Library that you look under and not your System Library, as you will not find iWeb there.
If you can't find this file then you are looking at re-building your site from scratch in iWeb.
This is a hard lesson to learn about backing up your domain.sites file, but if you have done this once you won't make the same mistake again.

Problems uploading iWeb site, keychain issue

Hi
I updated my iWeb site yesterday and uploaded, everything fine.
I have done some amends this morning and then tried to upload. I get kicked backs with an offer to learn about MobileMe, which I already have. So I click the sign in button and it tells me I have a Keychain error which prevents access.
All looks fine in Keychain.
I have gone to system prefs and tried to access my MobileMe account. I am denied access.
I have tried deleting the plists from my library, no effect.
Anyone got any thoughts?
Thanks
Jon

Jon ~ Try this: Quit iWeb. Then  menu > System Preferences... > MobileMe icon > Account tab > click on Sign Out... Then enter a garbage name and password and try to sign in. This apparently clears the MobileMe preferences. Then enter your real username and password. Once signed in, quit System Preferences, open iWeb and see if you can publish.
If that doesn't help and no-one else chips in here with a suggestion, MobileMe live chat support is now 24/7 — see this announcement.

Error when Publishing iWeb Site (iWeb 1.1.2)

I am consistently unable to publish my website. The following is the most recent error:
An error occurred while publishing file “/Web/Sites/iWeb/Site/Worcester, MAfiles/_MG0611.jpg”.
Before this one, it was a different jpg image that caused the publish to fail. I feel like three pictures have made the publish fail. I have done nothing different, I just try to keep publishing.
These are the most recent changes that might have effected something:
1. I upgraded to Leopard.
2. I edited three pages, removed one page, and added two additional pages.
3. I did not finish publishing after these changes because I had to board a plane.
4. I uploaded pictures to my computer, and then ran out of space.
5. I had troubles, but with Apple Discussion help (thank you) I was able to install my external hard drive, utilize Time Machine, and free up space on my hard drive. (I now have 21G on my internal drive available)
6. I moved iTunes music folder to external
7. I added more photos to iphoto, and added another page.
I have tried to publish several times unsuccessfully. Twice, my network went down. The other times, I get a file error (always a different file). And these were pages I did not even touch.
My entire website is now "red", meaning it needs to be published.
HELP!!!! I am sooo distressed.

My iWeb site can no longer be found by browsers

I have had an iWeb site which has been live for about a month. It has been working perfectly. I have updated several times without any issue. It still appears to be working well within iWeb. I can make changes and publish changes.
I have my own domain name hosted on mobileme
When I now search the internet using any browser, it says
Can't open the page http://www.dhsem.com.au/ because the server where this page is located isn't responding.
I have checked my .mac account and everything seems to be fully functional. Why has my site suddenly disappeared off the internet?
I have tried removing the com.apple.iWeb.plist file from Library/Preferences, rebooting the computer, republishing the entire site, all to no avail.
The site is still sitting in iDisk/Web/Sites.
Everything looks normal from the iWeb side of things. For some reason, no browser can find the server (The IP address of the server is: 118.215.20.59)
Would appreciate any help

You don't need to get your domain name registrar to do this - you should easily be able to do it yourself.
Firstly, ensure that your domain name is entered into the Personal Domain name setting of your MobileMe account.
Go to your domain name registrar and then set up CNAME forwarding if they provide this and forward your domain name to web.me.com - this is all you need do - you don't need to fiddle with nameservers or anything else like that.
If they don't provide CNAME forwarding then you can use web forwarding instead.

How do i add a personal domain to my iWeb site?

I created a website using iWeb and logged on to mobile me to activate the personal domain I bought. It's asking me to:
Add Personal Domain
Before your iWeb site can be viewed at your personal domain, you must complete the following steps:
Go to your registrar's website. Define web.me.com as the "www" CNAME (alias) for your domain.
If you need help creating a CNAME, contact your registrar.
Return to this page and click Done.
Your registrar can take up to 48 hours to update your domain.
Can someone explain where or who my registrat is? I bought my domain through GoDaddy.com. Are they my registrar?
Thanks,
Dali

Are they my registrar?
Yes.
And to answer the next question : godaddy iweb cname
And here's the shortcut to the GoDaddy Help page :

Is there a free loan calculator that I can put on my iweb site

I had a drive failure and lost the iWeb file along with other things. I did manage to save a lot of user file documents but I don't see or recognize the my iWeb site file. It was on a 15" G4 Titanium pb. I'm trying to find a way, using version 2.0.4

I had a drive failure and lost the iWeb file along with other things.
I did manage to save a lot of user file documents but I don't see or
recognize the iWeb site file. It was on a 15" G4 Titanium pb.
I'm trying to find a way, using version 2.0.4 of iWeb on a different
pb to recover the file into the iWeb app or a way to download the site into iWeb.
There are 6 pages of images and text, and it
would be a task for me to recreate the whole thing again. I did
download the site but I don't know how or if I can get iWeb to see it and open it.
Does anyone have any knowledge about this? The link to my site:

Any suggestions will be most appreciated.

Unfortunately iWeb cannot read or import previously published files, only generate them. You'll have to recreate your site from scratch.
However, 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 site.

How do I stop my iWeb site folder name from showing in the URL?

I have looked through the forum but cannot find exactly what I need.
I am sure there is a way to stop this from happening but I do not want my iWeb site name to show in the URL. Anyone else had this problem that can spread some light on the situation?
Here is how it is showing:
www.ilovehopetown.com/ILove_Hope_Town/The_Ultimate_Guide_To_HopeTown.html
I want to to just be www.ilovehopetown.com and then the page name.
Any help will be appreciated.

What happens if I leave Site name blank?
Try it and see.
If you are using iWeb 09, the right forum to ask things in is here:
http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=1309
Two options you could try are naming your site the same as the default folder used by your sever (e.g. public_http or whatever) or forwarding www.myname.com to www.myname.com/sitename

How to edit the same iWeb site on 2 different Macs?

How can I edit the same iWeb site on 2 different Macs? I know we create a folder with the files, but when copying that to Mac2, iWeb on Mac2 doesn't see that folder - I can't see what the linkage is between the app's interface and the folder of site files....

The answer is Domain.sites (extension hidden by default). You'll find this on the Mac you used to create the site at Users/YourUserName/Library/Application Support/iWeb. Copy that file to removable media and drag it to the same location on the other Mac. Launch iWeb and you'll see the site structure in the Site Organizer.
Once you keep the Domain package in sync between the two machines everything will work smoothly no matter which you use. There's a neat tip here which may help in this respect, but you use whatever strategy you prefer:

How do I upload iWeb-site without using 'Flie Publish' feature?

Due to corporate firewall restrictions I cannot use iDisk, Sync or iWeb to connect to .mac, which presented a problem when I wanted to Publish my iWeb site.
I have uploaded the site [via webdav, with Transmit] to the Sites folder of my iDisk, but I can't find my site when I enter my .mac URL into my browser (http://web.mac.com/myusername or http://homepage.mac.com/myusername).
Theoretically, is this the right way to upload to iDisk without using iWeb? Is there anything else I need to do to link my URL to the files in iDisk/Sites?
Thanks in advance, Lee.

Ok, my member name is leepaulvickers.
I've tried
http://web.mac.com/leepaulvickers
http://web.mac.com/leepaulvickers/iweb
http://web.mac.com/leepaulvickers/leepaulvickers
http://homepage.mac.com/leepaulvickers
but just get the 'we can't find the HomePage you've requested' 404 error.
BTW I've used Transmit to upload to my iDisk in the past, such as files and photos with no problems. I assumed there would be no trouble with iWeb's files...
