Hyperlink weirdness in iWeb 1.1.2

I'm having a strange issue (well, at least I think it is) and am hoping someone might know what I'm doing wrong or why it won't work.
On my main/home page, my background image is one jpeg consisting of 9 squares of art (3 across x 3 rows). Before, I had the entire background image as a hyperlink and that worked fine but it forced the viewing to only be able to click on one thing. What I wanted to do was make each individual square a link to go to one of the nine other pages. So, I made a box in the SHAPES tool, using no fill and no border and clicked enable as hyperlink and referred to the appropriate iWeb page. Sound good in theory... but when I publish the page, there are no links — none of the 9 boxes acts as a link at all and I can't figure it out!
I initially thought that maybe the links were buried (behind the background jpeg) so I used the FORWARD button to make sure all the clear overlay boxes were on top of the background image and for good measure, I pushed the background image backward. But still no luck! Any thoughts or suggestions?
One unrelated matter, when renaming a page or site in iWeb, when it's published the URL is full of '%20%' everywhere there's a space. Anyone know if this is corrected in iWeb '08 or '09???

Yes, it's corrected. The following is from the iWeb '08 Help viewer:
Browsers convert spaces in page names to “%20.” To avoid these symbols, iWeb places an underscore when the page name or site name includes a space.
You should also avoid non-Roman characters; many get converted to numbers when you publish.

  • Multiple hyperlinks edit in iWeb - new window and format?

    Hello,
    I'd like to edit a selection of several hyperlinks in iWeb 3.04 but when selected, I am not able to check the "Open in new window" option or the options in the Format panel.
    Can this be done in iWeb 3.0.4?
    If not, any suggestions?
    Thank you

    any suggestions?

  • Hyperlinks to files iWeb 09

    I am trying to set up hyperlinks to pdf files on my computer using iWeb09.
    When I select the text for the hyperlink and go to the inspector and link to the file "application.pdf" the text on the web page changes to the file name. Is that what is supposed to happen? It's not what I want to happen.
    How do I link to 'application.pdf' without changing the text? I'm probably missing something simple here but I've looked at some of the tutorials etc. on the web and can't find what I'm looking for. I did not use iWeb 08 so don't know if this operation worked properly or not.

    In line with iWeb's policy of introducing simple drag and drop icons for widgets, most of the links on my latest site to PDFs and applications etc make use of icons.
    This avoids the issue of me having to think about the text link and my viewers straining their brains by having to read them!
    I wonder what all the empty spaces are for in the widgets section of the media slide out.
    Do you think that one day we may get something useful like a contact form?
    It didn't take me long to get over the thrill of being able to take photos of my myself grinning foolishly and have them appear instantly on my webpage courtesy of the iSight Photo widget.

  • Keynote hyperlink failure in iweb

    I have created a flash file in keynote, then exported it to iweb .... all works fine; except for any hyperlinks that were created with the file. These seem to disappear when it gets exported into iweb. The only solution that I've found is to create an invisible box shape over the subject once it's been exported, and then enable that as a hyperlink. However this doesn't cause the arrow to change to a hand, which is what I want.
    Any help out there?
    Macbook using keynote08 and iweb08.

    Duncan, the reason for the Hyperlink not appearing as such is beyond me, but the solution would be easy.
    Just make a "click me to continue" notice somewhere on the page.
    Many Flash intro's have these so why not yours?

  • Can't select hyperlink box in iWeb  !!!

    I understand how to make a hyperlink in iWeb. I have read the directions a million times. When I have the Inspector open I am NOT able to check the box or enter a URL. I CAN check the "make all hyperlinks inactive" box...but I don't need that.
    Is there a reason that the "enable as a hyperlink" box is disabled?
    Using the iWeb that came on my MacBook Pro last March....so it's not the 08 version. Whatever came right before.

    I did... actually, the problem was solved by another post on in the forums. It said:
    go to the top, main image on the page (often a template image that the user may have changed by dragging and dropping their own pic into the frame) and cut it from the page (apple+c) and then reintroduce it (apple+v). Go and reselect the intended hyperlink object (text etc) and lo and behold the previously grayed out menus spring to life!!
    A very odd glitch, but thankfully an easy one to work around when you know how.

  • Hyperlinks work in iWeb app, but not up on web???

    I created navigation titles (just text boxes), and set them up as hyperlinks in iWeb. They are all working fine in iWeb.
    When I upload to the website they are all dead as doornails.
    Mmm. What could I possibly be doing wrong here? First time I've come across this.
    All ears,
    Ben

    Nothing is covering links, good suggestion ... all links clean and up forward.
    I've turned off the template menu links and created my own by making text boxes, writing in text, and then making active as hyperlinks.
    I've done this on two other sites that run just fine.
    I notice that I don't even have to upload to get problem. The problem occurs when I publish to a folder. Suddenly ALL hyperlinks are disactivated in the publishing process.
    I've trashed the prefs and started again. No luck. I made a page out of iPhoto and imported it into the file. No luck (someone in another Forum proposed this).
    All ears...

  • Hyperlinks issues on iweb

    I have created a hyperlink and have altered the colour to make it stand out on the web, however, whenever i ckeck the website the hyperlinks are still in the default colours. why are the adjusted colours that i have used not showing up?

    Make sure you empty your browser cache before visiting the published page tobe able to see the changes. In Safari do - Option/Command/E
    It helps if you publish the URL to a problem page!

  • PDF document on iWeb page - Can't get hyperlinks to work

    I have dragged a .pdf file which contains working hyperlinks onto my iWeb page. The .pdf file displays properly but the hyperlinks are inactive. Is there a way to make them work? I do not wish to use an iFrame because I don't want the clickable links to open in the iFrame.

    Hi Old Toad,
    Thanks for the reply. I'm not sure I understand. My PDF file, which originated as a Numbers table, contains a numbered list with hyperlinks to outside sites. I exported the Numbers document as a .pdf, then dragged that onto the iWeb page. I see that if it is being converted to an image, the links won't work once placed on the iWeb page. When I tried to use the iFrame widget from your site, here: http://web.me.com/toad.hall/Demo1/Scrolling_TextBox.html, the links worked but the URLs opened right in the frame. Is there a solution that will make the links open in another window given that my file is made in a Numbers file converted to PDF? Thanks much for your help and for all the great resources on your site....

  • IWeb won't let me add hyperlink to my iTunes album

    I have successfully added hyperlinks to my iWeb page before but now I have a slight problem. I have a link provided by the iTunes store to my CD which is on iTunes. I have successfully set this up with my myspace page and other sites I use to promote my music however, when I try it on my iWeb site it will not let me. This seems ridiculous that iWeb would have a problem with hyperlinking to the iTunes store. Has anyone done this successfully? Help! p.s. When I use the inspector to copy the link in, I get an annoying little beeping noise when I try to hit enter. You know, that noise that means "that isn't going to work".

    I listened.
    So let me tell you what I heard.
    You have a CD in the iTunes Store.
    You want to create a link to the CD in the iTunes Store.
    A link would look like:
    http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewAlbum?id=285831744&s=14345 2
    I demonstrated how to create such link.
    If it doesn't work with iWeb, open a empty textdocument in any Texteditor of your choice and drag the link as demonstrated to the document.
    You now have a link as displayed above.
    Copy the link.
    Go to iWeb.
    Open your page.
    Select some text you want to hyperlink.
    Open the Inspector.
    Click the Link icon.
    Choose *External page*.
    The Inspector automatically paste the phobos url in the field.
    You now have a hyperlink.
    That's what I heard.

  • 5 users to contribute content from window based PC's to iWeb site

    I would like to create a website in iWeb '09 which will require multiple users to contribute/publish content, but the other site collaborators do not have Macs, just Windows-based PCs.

    Welcome to the discussions. Even if your five users all had Macs running the same version of iWeb, it would still be difficult for them to contribute content — because iWeb's site data is stored in a Domain file on a Mac. This Domain file would need to be exchanged around the users for updating — which is not very practical for Mac users and impossible for PC users.
    Instead of using iWeb, I suggest using a web-based design app accessible from PCs and Macs. Some of these apps have specific features for sharing whilst others may be sharable by giving out the single username/password to the other users. But this could be problematic if there's only a single email address associated with the username.
    This first one is specifically designed for sharing:
    Backpack
    Google Sites claims to make creating and sharing a group website easy:
    Google Sites
    This one focusses upon "social networking":
    Ning
    ...With Ning you can add tabs and sub-tabs to specific pages and external links via the Tab Manager feature. Mouse-over the menu items at this Ning site:
    http://www.openwineconsortium.org
    And their tab manager:
    http://blog.ning.com/2008/08/a-new-tab-manager-early-next-week.html
    Other web-based design apps are:
    SnapPages
    Yola
    Viviti
    Jimdo
    Weebly
    Sampa
    Wix
    If a sharable blog format is acceptable, you could hyperlink from your iWeb site is to a free Posterous blog. Posterous has "dead simple group blogging by email" where each of your three possible blogs can now have multiple contributers — see more here.
    General info about Posterous blogs is in their FAQ. ...Group members can contribute text, photos, sound and video files, etc. to a Posterous blog simply by email. Plus there is the usual commenting capability plus comment alerts for the account holder.

  • Photos on iWeb site

    Is it possible to save your iDisk space by putting photos on your .Mac iWeb site from another website you are with. Maybe thats not very clear.... I have a 'pro' flickr account that I bought before I got my .Mac account as a gift. Is it possible to build my .Mac website from the photo's I have already on my Flickr account to save loading them to my iDisk and therefore saving space?
    It's just I plan to put a lot of photos on my site and don't want it to eat up all my space. I realise, I could just continue with my photos on Flickr, but I really like the format of the .Mac sites better and plan on selling some of my prints through the site.
    Any help would be great,
    David

    I may have read too much into your plans.
    I'm not, by any means, an expert with Flickr so bear with me.
    IF the files in Flickr are accessible with "http" commands, it's real easy to add a hyperlink in your iWeb site to bring the viewer to Flickr. The minor difficulty is that you want only SOME viewers to reach Flickr. IF Flickr access can be PW-protected, it's a slam-dunk.
    If not, it might be a little klutzy. You'll need to create a second iWeb site that's PW-protected. The hyperlink in your main iWeb site brings the viewer to the PW-protected iWeb site and, for those that can access it, another hyperlink will take them to Flickr.

  • Using mobileme password protected galleries on iWeb

    I have a bunch of galleries on my mobileme gallery; most of them are visible only by specific users. I would like to use them on a iWeb (password protected) web site but the option Insert-> MobileMe Gallery is only available for public galleries not for password protected ones. Is there any workaround for this?

    You could try embedding a Gallery in your iWeb page — see this old thread:
    ...or you could hyperlink from an iWeb page to a Gallery.

  • Can't navigate using back button from web gallery linked to iweb page

    I have a web gallery that I enabled as a hyperlink to my iweb site. When I go to the gallery from a web page, I don't have any problem navigating to the gallery to view photos, but I am unable to navigate back to the web page using the "back" button. Instead I have to relaunch my web page in Safari; otherwise I would be "stuck" on the gallery unable to navigate to other web pages.
    Does anyone know how to fix this problem?

    Load the gallery in your browser and copy the URL.
    Create a text or image link and in the "Link" inspector select it as an eternal link.
    Paste the gallery URL into the box and check "Open link in new window".
    This way, the gallery window can be opened and closed but your original webpage will remain.
