Including HTML snippet into my thread message

Hello.
I need to open a thread in this forum and show an HTML snippet from my code. However, this discussion forum seems to mis-interpret the HTML content I enter as "literal" and instead treats it as actual HTML. When I preview my note, it is a mess.
How can I put HTML into my thread message and preserve it as is?
thanks
Boris

Put formatted code between [ pre] and [ /pre ] (without the spaces) and when you have a < character, always put a space after it and put a space before > characters too.

Including html code into my iWeb site

Hi,
I would like to include googles Analytics tracking code to my website. In order to do this, they say I have to
"Copy and paste the code segment into the bottom of your content, immediately before the </body> tag of each page you are planning to track. If you use a common include or template, you can enter it there. "
What does that mean? And can I do that in IWeb?
Thanks for a reply,
Anne Wertheim

I'm not totally sure what you are asking, but I do know this> Go to Insert: HTML Snippet... copy and paste the HTML code there...and it should work.. .just about ANY html did it on mine.
Even the counters...but now I'm hosting with mobilme... propietarty, but works.... try it.
Is that what you are asking?

Can you embed HTML snippets into Reflow?

Is this possible to do...ie a youtube video or even some other embeddable element?

Currently, Reflow only supports boxes (divs), text and images. We're planning on adding more elements in the near future, although HTML snippets aren't going to be there for a while.

How to include HTML tags in a success message?

I have seen a few posts on this topic in the past, but have not seen a definitive response...apologies if this has been answered.
I would like to have a dynamic process success message that includes some HTML tags in it - in this case an anchor tag that can jump the user back to the object he/she just edited.
So, I build up a dynamic success message in a page variable - say P10_SUCCESS_MSG - and set the Process Success Message field in the relevant Process to &P10_SUCCESS_MSG.
The problem is that when the page template substitutes in my message for #SUCCESS_MESSAGE# it looks like it also escapes any HTML tags, so the markup gets displayed literally on the page.
Is there any recommended way to override or get around this behavior?
Many thanks,
Bill

I just noticed that it looks like the success message is passed around on the URL - when I look at my URL after a successful form process, I see &success_msg=BIG_UGLY_ESCAPED_SUCCESS_MSG_HERE embedded in the URL. If this is the case, I can see why - technically - it ends up getting escaped. Looks like I may have to figure out my own hack for success message processing - maybe some weird post-processing of a placeholder success token that I replace in a page 0 process or something...

Deleting HTML Snippets

I'm using Contribute CS3 on a Windows Vista Home Premium
platform to test inserting html snippets into a sports web page. I
want to change out the code periodically to provide fresh content.
I can get the snippet to work just fine, and I can see the icon for
the snippet when I edit the page. However, when I try to delete it,
I get the following message:
"You cannot perform this action in this region of the page."
I've tried deleting the table cell into which it was inserted
as well as the entire table row, and it just gives me the same
message. Can anyone tell me how to get rid of it?

also seeing this on my end, The one thing you can do is try
choosing Action>Edit in External application> and then remove
the html code that way in Notepad. It does seem a bit wonky that
you can't select and remove the html snippet by selecting it..

Why won't my html snippets appear in any browser?

My website is created in iWeb 3.0.4. My server is Machighway and I upload via FTP using Cyberduck.
The problem I have been having, even on my old server before I transfered to Machighway is when I add any HTML snippet into my page, it works just fine in iWeb, but when I publish, there is just a blank space where the widget should be. I have tried viewing the site in Safari and Firefox.
I have opened iWeb and taken a screenshot to show you the twitter widget:
Now here is how it looks in Safari after publish:
I have tried different html snippets, and I have the same problem with all of them. I have asked Machighway and they said they can't help me because it's a coding problem.
Can anyone shed any light on this? Thanks!

Oh, I see, you do not want the Sitename in the URL?
Read this :
     The concept of iWeb Sites
A Site, which is just a folder, is a convenient way to organize your pages based on topic, subject or whatever you choose to keep relevant pages together. I’ve been doing that for the past 17 years, and I find it rather natural.
But since iWeb is doing it, it seems to confuse & frustrate people. iWeb shouldn’t do it, they say. As if there is a law that demands it.
To avoid the Sitename in the URL, read my solution. It's very technical but in the end it saves time. And best of all, iWeb is not involved :
     Avoiding the iWeb Sitename in the URL
An easier, time-wasting, solution is to publish to a folder on your desktop.
Open that Site folder and move the content of that folder to the root of the webserver with a FTP application.
(The root of a webserver is where the file or folder, shown immediately to the righthand side of the domainname, is stored.)
Everytime you make changes to a page, you have to repeat these steps.
But the result is what you want.
And here's a re-post with some additional info about using an index.php file to avoid overwriting the index.html file iWeb creates :
    Avoiding the iWeb Sitename in the URL
Works on all servers. With or without a subdomain I may add. Like this one :
     http://wyodor.byethost8.com/htdocs/index.html
Not as easy as publishing to a folder, but in the end it saves time. Again.
See this post that explained the link above :
Re: iWeb keeps populating a site name at the end of my url. Causing error.

Menu not present and HTML snippet editor not displaying...help

Hi All,
I have been building a few websites with iWeb and today i opened the software to find that my menu was a blank box with a small grey dot on the left side.
i went to adjust some HTML snippets to find that the the pop up editor wasn't appearing.
so my question is simple. where have these gone? is there a setting to turn off these features?
the issue is the same on all sites and any new site. when i drag new HTML snippets into a page the box appears like a text box but the editor window isn't there and i can't type in anything.
the same applies for any widgets from the media library.
hopefully someone can point out what i'm missing and help me get back on track.
thanks for your time

Try the following:
delete the iWeb preference files, com.apple.iWeb.plist and com.apple.iWeb.plist.lockfile, that resides in your Home() /Library/Preferences folder. You may have already tried this.
go to your Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iWeb folder and delete its contents.
Click to view full size
launch iWeb and try again.
If that doesn't help continue with:
move the domain file from your Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder to the Desktop.
launch iWeb, create a new test site, save the new domain file and close iWeb.
go to the your Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder and delete the new domain file.
move your original domain file from the Desktop to the iWeb folder.
launch iWeb and try again.

HTML inserted into a MUSE accordion widget issue

In Adobe MUSE 2014.3.1.44, I have inserted an HTML snippet into a MUSE accordion widget:
<script type=”text/javascript” src=”https://burkeauto.workstiming.com/external/next_available_time.js”></script>
When published all I see is the clock numbers to the top left corner of the page—no other page content and no accordion—just the unformatted clock at the top left corner.
The snippet works fine outside the accordion widget.
When not inside the accordion the HTML frame is normal, but as soon as I insert it into the accordion it adopts the attributes like other widgets, with the round blue icon on the top right corner of the frame and a stripped down context menu.
Adobe chat support has duplicated this on their end and suggested that I post the issue in the forum.
Any thoughts?

Brad,
Thanks for helping think this through!
First, yes, that is the whole script. There are actually two scripts (clocks) I want on a single page:
<script type="text/javascript" src="https://burkeauto.workstiming.com/external/next_available_time.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="https://burkeautomall.workstiming.com/external/next_available_time.js"></script>
They can be seen properly functioning together here: http://www.burkeauto.com/starttimes.html
I have been requested to put the page content from the above link in an accordion widget seen here: http://www.burkeauto.com/genuine.html
Click on the Light Maintenance Service tab. This is where the two scripts (clocks) are to go. Currently by clicking "CLICK HERE FOR NEXT AVAILABLE START" I am linking to page with the scripts/clocks outside the accordion.
I tried the script/clock in the accordion and publishing the site with the Light Maintenance Service tab open—still does not work.
As mentioned in the original post, Adobe could replicate the issue, but did not offer any resolution, and the forum has been quite on my post.
Any other thoughts?

HTML Snippet on placeholder

Hi. I'm very very new to i-web, but I couldn't find answer to my question in the forum:
I can't drag HTML snippet into a placeholder in Blog or podcast template. I am in entry page and trying to link the video that's on public server (not youtube, but something else), but HTML snippet won't go into the placeholder. Could anyone help me?

The HTL Snippet is not a meant to be placed in a placeholder.
It's a placeholder by itself for inserting custom code.
Do not want that cannot be wanted.

Can i enter php code into html snippets?

I am an sql/php newbie ... and have my site hosted by a company which offers me sql and php hosting (unlike dotmac I understand) ...
I have created an sql database on their server and have written a page in html/php to display the results of a simple search ... can I insert this into iweb page using snippet - as I have tried and get a page cannot be displayed message where the snippet box would be on the webpage. (you can see this by clicking on the guestbook link on www.antandcleopuss.com)
I am wondering if iweb can insert php or if it is only html?
If iweb doesn't like php inserts then I will have to export my pages to a folder, then open them in a text editor to insert the php there?? (seems like an awfully long way round)
Any help gratefully received
ant

You can add PHP code AFTER publishing the webpage.
Then change the extension to .php.
Here's a page the explains how to do it. It's not PHP specific but the routine is the same.

Of course you can add a PHP page to the HTML Snippet with an iframe.

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!

Separate messages that Mail incorrectly groups into a thread

Mail occassionally will group a few emails into a thread when they're not actually part of a thread (based on similar "subject" lines or other similarities). Is there a way for me to designate specific messages/threads as not supposed to be a part of a thread? Thanks in advance.

I think there must be also other ways
that messages get identified as a thread
Yes, the subject.
because in at least one example I have,
2 of the messages in a thread do not have matching
"in-reply-to" fields nor matching "thread-id" fields
in the long headers.
They don't have to. All that is needed for them to be considered part of the same thread is that they both refer to a message in that thread. The message they refer to doesn't have to be the same for both messages in order for them to be considered part of the same thread. Or am I misunderstanding you here?
The only similarity between the
2 is the subject line, so far as I can tell.
Ah! Yes, the subject is likely also being used to determine that they are part of the same thread, precisely because there is no guarantee that the In-Reply-To header was set correctly in the first place. There is no foolproof method to determine whether two messages are really part of the same thread, so mail clients do what they can (and different mail clients may do it differently). Whatever they do, there will always be messages that are categorized incorrectly.
but it does seem too bad there's no "not a part
of thread" button or menu option.
Well, there are way many things that it's too bad Mail doesn't have... This one is probably not one of the most prominent, but it may be to you if you rely heavily on that feature.
