IWeb 08 site problem viewing in Explorer on PC

Hi guys, anyone out there please whose able to advise this old geezer who's just created his first ever web site using iWeb 08?
I've created my site on my Intel 24inch iMac, and using one of the templates iWeb gave me. It's a simple site. I saved it to a folder on my iMac so that I could test it. All works well viewing it in Safari on the Mac.
However, when I try to view it using Explorer under VISTA (as I assume most people visiting my site once it's published WILL do) I have problems. Although the site opens fine, the navigation 'headings' which are used by the reader to work their way through the various pages, are hidden at the top of the screen behind Explorer's menu bars. So, although they can see my Home Page, they can navigate nowhere further.
What am I doing wrong? I'm getting balder by the minute trying to work it out! (lol)
Please email me at [email protected] ?
Regards, Dave

Hey there bud! iWeb '08 and internet explorer work together kinda funny. iWeb is awesome in other browsers it seems. Here are some fixes that I learned of. Im no expert, so I'm not sure why you must go this route- but I have done a few sites and these rules worked for me:
1) Make sure all lines, (even those around boxes & picture frames) are greater than 1pt. I use 1.25.
2) Try not to overlap the boxes. On some sites I created this made IE lock up.
3) Stray away from transparent boxes. Only one of my sites worked well with them.
4) Stray away from shadows if at all possible. Your page will load faster.
5) Stray away from lines, your page will load faster if you just use boxes.
Once again, I am no expert, but this is the advice that I found and tried when I had the same problem. Good Luck!

  • Problems Viewing Site After Upgrade

    Now that I've upgraded to 08, I have so many problems with viewing my site (created with iWeb 06), that I'm thinking I should uninstall 08. The banner and the menu bar are absent when viewed in Explorer. The frames around some text boxes and photos do not show in any browser I've tried (Explorer, Firefox, Opera) except Safari. They were fine before (when I was using 06).
    Is the problem that I created the site in 06 and am now updating it in 08? If so, I better uninstall 08 and reinstall 06 because I don't want to rebuild the entire site.
    Any advice? And, just in case, how do I uninstall iWeb08?
    Thanks so much!

    I simply upgraded to 08 and then opened my site with it and then published it to the folder, uploaded it and saw many problems.
    When you launched iWeb '08 for the first time you should have gotten a popup window asking you wether you want to upgrade the domain file or not. And probably you just clicked on "update" as 99,9% of the people does...
    Should I have done something different?
    Actually no... Only if you wanted to go back to iWeb '06 but in 99,9% of the cases that's not the case...
    It sounds as if rebuilding the site will not solve the problem, since it's an IE problem and not iWeb?
    Right. As it works for all other browsers it must be an IE problem...
    "But you might add a Second navigation bar (textfield with textlinks) to the pages contained in the menu bar..."
    That will solve the navigation problem, but the page will still look terrible. The whole top section of the page (the navigation bar plus the banner) disappears in IE!
    I don't have any IE, but when I looked at my pages at the University campus it worked great... Maybe it depends also on versions, service packs, and a lot of other variables...
    Why oh why do people have to use that program???? Grrrr.
    I'd give you a Nobel prize for this question... Maybe because they are unaware of how bad IE is... That's why you should provide the links to Safari or Firefox downloads... To contribute making the world a better place... A little change but if everyone does make a little bit the world is gonna be better of pretty soon... "I have a dream"...
    Peace
    Thanks again!
    You're welcome...

  • Problem Viewing Flash Movies in Windows 8.1 Internet Explorer 11

    I am running a fully patched/updated copy of Windows 8.1 and Internet Explorer version 11 (on the desktop)
    If I try and run the test movie at
    http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/flash-player-issues-windows-8html I get the following message:
    Either Flash Player is disabled or ActiveX Filter is ON.
    Please follow trouble shooting steps to play Flash content.
    I have checked and double-checked that...
    Flash Player is enabled
    ActiveX Filtering is turned off
    Internet Explorer is running the latest version of Flash Player 
    The only way I can get this to run at all is to enable'Compatibility Mode' for the web site.  Is it the case that Compatibility Mode has to be enabled to view any web site containing Flash content?
    Any information would be much appreciated.

    Hi,
    Do you mean the issue is only occurred on the website you provided? How about other websites?
    I can run the test movie with no issue in my test machine, I suspect this issue is caused by browser incompatibility.
    As I know, if the issue is caused by a compatibility problem between Internet Explorer and the site you're on. The issue can be fixed by adding the site to your Compatibility View list.
    I also would like to suggest you reset Internet Explorer Settings for a test. Also make sure you're not using InPrivate Browsing.
    Hope it helps.

  • Problem viewing iWeb pages on PC

    Hi, this may have been addressed already, but I didn't see it anywhere. I believe I have v1.1. I have a couple of issues. One, the fonts that are "loaded" to the template, don't even show up correctly on safari or any other browser I have. So I had to go with very generic fonts.
    The main thing, though, is once I get the site published, it looks fine on my mac. But when I try to access the site on a PC, the text and pictures sit on top of each other, so you can't read anything on the blog.
    Anyone know how to fix this??
    G5   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

    I'm having similar problems... Everything looks fine on the mac but PC's can't view the page correctly... now I am attempting to post videos and my question is, does iWeb require quicktime to view video files even if they are avi, or wmv? Because on the PC's I have tested windows media player does not attempt to view.. it just wants me to download quicktime.

  • Minimum Browser/OS Requirements for Viewing iWeb '08 sites??

    Up until yesterday the only problem I'd seen viewing my site was a PC user who got a very small slideshow, about 1/3 the normal size. It was an entry level el cheapo laptop so I wrote it off to that.
    Yesterday I tried to show a friend my site and it didn't display correctly. The first problem was the Nav bar displayed as a vertical bulleted list. Worse yet on pages with the new photo albums there was no content. Just the masthead and title. No albums. This was a Mac running OS X 10.3.9 and Safari 1.3. This I could understand. We moved to a Mac running OSX 10.4.3 and Safari 2.0 and it was no better. Both had the latest Java version on them. Now I can see possibly not working under Safari 1,3 and possibly OSX v10.3.9, But 10.4.3 is not that old.
    I would like to put a notice on my site of the minimum browser requirements to correctly view the site on a Mac or PC. I looked in the various Read Mes and on the Apple Site and didn't see this information. Has anyone seen a list of the minimum requirements needed to properly view an iWeb '08 site and it's new features?
    Thanks in advance.

    I've found an url that shows how to enable javascript in IE6
    http://www.apl.org/libcats/enable.html
    I'm not able to test this on my PC because I don't have the privileges to change this setting.
    I would very much like to know if this setting is the solution.
    Can someone test this. My site is http://www.hasselo.eu/photography/Home.html
    -navigation bar not visible
    -enable javascript
    -test whether the nav bar is visible
    -return to old settings in IE

  • Site problems in Firefox and Internet Explorer

    Here's my site: http://davesnowgraphics.com/DSG/Home.html
    Created in iWeb '08. Here is a list of problems. Solutions welcome.
    1) In all browsers: links to internal pages open up in a new window or tab. As an internal link, the option to "Open page in a new window" is not even available. I therefore assume that they should open in the same window, but most open in a new page or tab.
    2) In Firefox (both Mac and PC) the text spacing is messed up. Throws spaces in the middle of words and generally stretches text or letter spacing, making text returns seemingly at random. The fonts are all supposedly web safe (Trebuchet MS and Times New Roman).
    3) Site is TOTALLY jacked in Internet Explorer. Transparency of linked images dumped, making intended graphics solid white. Also on the PC (I don't have the Mac I.E.), my text gets hijacked by random text links with those annoying pop-up boxes that lead elsewhere.
    Is it possible for an iWeb-generated site to work in commonly-used browsers, or do I have to learn Dreamweaver?

    Okay, so I did some code experimentation and solved everything in my last post inquiry.
    Seems the entire line *onclick="window.open(this.href); return false;" onkeypress="window.open(this.href); return false;"* needs to be removed from the javascript that iWeb generates when you have a link associated with a graphic. Pain in the butt, but it works.
    Also did extensive searching for title= and manually changed the following text to what I wanted it to be.
    I'm interested to know if these issues are resolved with the iWeb '09 update. Anybody know?
    I also removed the graphics that I was using as links on the cubes. I put simple square shapes in the middle of the cube sides, made them transparent and assigned the link to them. They don't map the entire cube side as a link, but enough to make it functional. Also, for some reason, the fact that they're native iWeb-generated shapes and not placed graphics, they open up in the same page without having to delete the code line mentioned above.
    Still no solutions to the following I.E. issue in my initial post.
    I have the site open on my PC right now in IE. If you go to About > Services, the words "Business", "communication" and "Project Management" are green with double underlines. If I roll over them, I get a popup window with an advertisement for GameVance. What's up with that? Is that a setting in my local Internet Explorer properties that I need to disable?

  • Strange problem viewing web sites.

    Hi everybody,
    I am having a strange problem viewing web sites. There are certain web sites that when viewed on my mac certain content that shows up on other computers (mac and pc) does not seem to show up on my mac. At first I thought it was a safari problem and maybe I installed a filter or some thing but regardless what browser I use, the content is not there. For instance: Spinepodium.com one of the sites I am building - I just recently added Google Adsense to the page. When I view the page on other computers (mac and pc) the ads show up just fine. However on my mac it is as if the code is just not there. I have noticed similar things on other pages as well.
    Any help would be great.

    Video plays for me on the site you posted.
    As I suggested, install the Flip4Mac plug-in. After installing, open the preference file via System Preferences>Flip4Mac. On the Plug-in panel, 1st and 3rd boxes are checked. On the Movies panel, 1st box is checked.
    Just in case, go to the Utilities folder>Disk Utility and "repair permissions" via the First Aid panel (click on your HD on the left of the window, "repair permissions" will appear on the right. Restart the computer. Try the video in Safari.

  • I am having problems viewing many video sites since upgrading my IPad to IOS 7

    Has anyone been having problems viewing many video formats on ipad after upgrading to ios7.v3? I can't view most You Tube, no Netflix, etc!

    Try this  - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430

  • Others have problem viewing web.me website

    Other people are either having problems viewing my website in its entirety, or they are having difficulty viewing certain blog posts. I am seriously considering changing to another blog.

    I am upset that I have wasted $100 for the year.
    If you're referring to the yearly fee for MobileMe then that's not true. It's not MobileMe that the problem. It's IE.
    You can dumb down your web site to the lowest denominator, i.e. Internet Explorer, and can have your site viewable by all browsers. If your site is a commercial site then possible the use of iWeb and MobileMe is not the best choice. As already pointed out iWeb adheres very closely to web standards, almost to a fault some would say. So any browser that has not kept up with those standards will have problems to some degree or another.
    As for MobileMe, it's primarily geared towards the social networking that it provides and has a lot of server side stuff going on that makes it slower and more iffy than commercial hosting services like HostExcellence, GoDaddy, etc.

  • Urgent Deadline to Fix PC Mess Displaying iWeb Created Site -- Please Help!

    IWeb 08 and web-design-savvy Mac users, I really need your help... and I'm on a tight deadline.
    I've designed the website promoting our group's big event by using iWeb 08; I was very troubled when I discovered tonight that there are major display problems in Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 on Windows PCs. This website is essential to promoting the event and I can't afford to lose traffic because of display issues.
    Here's the site.
    www.spj.org/pittsburgh
    Can anyone walk me through the best fixes for the following problems?
    On a PC in Internet Explorer:
    1) The home page display chokes up during scrolling; there's a sort of "stuttering" effect in rendering of simple images that slows down the PC and gums things up.
    2) The layout of the center-justified text is trashed by Explorer's insertion of large blocks of blank spaces and a line return in an area where I change the color of the text for emphasis.
    On my web pages that display the iWeb-generated navigation links:
    3) The label for the final navigation link drops down to a second row, creating a ragged, poorly formatted look.
    4) If you click on the navigation link for the current page, it takes you to the home page instead of keeping you on the current page.
    None of these problems happen in Safari for Windows.
    In Firefox for Windows, I believe that only problem 3 happens.
    Explorer 7 for Windows appears to fix only problem 2.
    -Will an "optimizer" program fix any or all of these problems?
    -Can I open the iWeb-created html files in Netscape Composer, SeaMonkey, TextEdit, or any other application, change the html code to fix any of this, and save the repaired result?
    -Is there any change in the formating within iWeb that I should try that will put things right on a PC?
    Thanks for any help you can offer. I have to fix this somehow this weekend.

    Cédric,
    Thank you. I will definitely build my own navigation menu, as you described to solve problems 3 and 4.
    I'm still struggling with the decision of how to deal with issues 1 and 2 On a PC in Internet Explorer. (See below.)
    I did already update to iWeb 2.0.3 before I created the site.
    1) The home page display chokes up during scrolling; there's a sort of "stuttering" effect in rendering of simple images that slows down the PC and gums things up.
    2) The layout of the center-justified text is trashed by Explorer's insertion of large blocks of blank spaces and a line return in an area where I change the color of the text for emphasis.
    Here are options I'm considering.
    One is to take screenshots of the site's current iWeb-generated graphics, turn them into jpegs, and reinsert them into the page as jpegs. My thinking is that it would eliminate any Explorer problems with rendering png images and effects.
    Another option is to rebuild the entire site in another program, trying to imitate the look of my current iWeb-created site. The problem is, I don't know if I have to skills to properly create my PayPal online registration section, which is essential. If I do try to redo the entire site, I haven't decided to use Netscape Composer (my old method), SeaMonkey (its successor), or some other application with which I have no experience. If I do recreate the entire site, I'm going to have to be careful to exactly duplicate the individual page names, so that I don't break the links for anyone who has linked to the current pages.

  • What happens to iweb-built site when I upgrade from Leopard (10.5.8) to Snow Leopard (10.6.3), and subsequently upgrade to 10.6.8 or even 10.7? Will fonts stay the same? Will layout change? Or anything else change? Thanks

    What happens to iweb-build site when I upgrade from Leopard (10.5.8) to Snow Leopard (10.6.3) and subsequently update that to 10.6.8 or even to 10.7? Evidently iweb has been discontinued. I have version 3.0.3 of iweb now but understand that there's been an update for OS 10.6 so same question goes for this update.
    Will fonts change? Will layout change? Will widgets still work? Links? Will Google Analytics PlugIn still work?
    (Since MobileMe is disappearing, I now save iweb site to local folder on my computer, then upload it to GoDaddy using Cyberduck. I run Google Analytics plug in on folder before its uploaded.)
    My computer, MacBook Pro came with iweb, which has been updated to 3.0.3. Since iweb is discontinued, will upgrade of operating system just ignore iweb so that iweb will run the same as before? Or will it wipe it out? Or change how it currently works (questions above).
    Thanks

    As you now know iWeb and iDVD have been discontinued by Apple. This is evidenced by the fact that new Macs are shipping with iLife 11 installed but without iWeb and iDVD.
    On June 30, 2012 MobileMe will be shutdown. HOWEVER, iWeb will still continue to work but without the following:
    Features No Longer Available Once MobileMe is Discontinued:
    ◼ Password protection
    ◼ Blog and photo comments
    ◼ Blog search
    ◼ Hit counter
    ◼ MobileMe Gallery
    All of these features can be replaced with 3rd party options.
    Currently if the site is published directly from iWeb to the 3rd party server the RSS feed and slideshow subscription features will work. However, if the site is first published to a folder on the hard drive and then uploaded to the sever with a 3rd party FTP client those two features will be broken.
    There's another problem and that's with iWeb's popup slideshows.  Once the MMe servers are no longer online the popup slideshow buttons will not display their images.
    Click to view full size
    However, Roddy McKay and I have figured out a way to modify existing sites with those slideshows and iWeb itself so that those images will display as expected once MobileMe servers are gone.  How to is described in this tutorial: iW14 - Modify iWeb So Popup Slideshows Will Work After MobileMe is Discontinued.
    NOTE: the iLife 11 boxed version Is no longer available at the online Apple Store.  To get a copy you'll have to try Amazon.com or eBay.com.

  • IWeb 09 not working with Internet Explorer

    Spent quite a bit of time creating a site in iWeb 08, which worked fine with Firefox and IE. Decided to upgrade to the '09 version because of few new features (widgets, etc.) Update install went well. No problems using Firefox and Safari but IE now will not work.
    Site (home page) can be accessed using IE but links to other pages are not live. A real pain. I did nothing new to site (e.g., did not add widgets, photos, files, etc.) except to add a comment to my blog. A friend told me about the problem. Unsure what version of IE he is using but I tried it using Parallels running XP with IE v.6 and had the same problem.
    Do I need to reinstall the '08 version? If so, will it just overwrite '09 or is there some other procedure required to install an earlier version? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

    Didn't intend this to be as much a venting as a warning to others.
    The iLife 09 suite is very flawed. And it's not just iWeb.
    iPhoto does not deliver. Face recognition failed to correctly identify even one person in over 250 photos. Not a minor thing since it was trumpeted so loudly at it's announcement.
    iMovie corrupted the preview of a project I was working on in a prior version.
    Turned it gray and 'staticky'. Starting over now.
    I don't see quick fixes coming down the pipe because Apple has been absent from any news or comments for over a month.
    So if someone is contemplating an upgrade to iLife09 and happens upon my rant, maybe I've save someone from wasting their money.
    As far as knowing what I'm doing?
    I've been in IT for 20 years. Unix, Linux, Windows, backup/recovery, etc... I've led a very rich IT life. I bought a Mac because of the 'Just works' promise, not to add another OS to my debugging repertoire.
    I can get around the FTP problem manually (another problem with iWeb), but the ftp on 09 was a big reason I purchased it. And the problem with IE and Firefox not being able to even view any iWeb 09 sites now? That's going to be a bit more difficult to fix and is a show stopper.
    Apple has not responded to anyone's support questions (including mine), and it's been about a month.
    Not even a "Hey customers, we know about the problems and are getting right on it!".
    So, when something like this happens, I like to put the word out there on every medium possible. kind of warns people and hopefully get's back to Apple.
    And if Apple doesn't monitor these Support Discussions, they really should.
    At the very least, my comments may bring up issues others have yet to discover.
    And it makes me feel better...

  • Problem viewing Apple website

    Just wondering if anyone else is having a problem viewing
    http://www.apple.com ?
    I suspect I know what is going on, but would like some
    verification that the page is trying to load a quicktime
    clip in H.264.
    Regards,
    genec

    I am using Windows XP Home SP2 and QuickTime 7.1.
    When I try to go to http://www.apple.com
    Internet Explorer 6 SP 1 crashes. So does Firefox.
    The problem is, I suspect, that my computer does not meet
    the minimum requirements for H.264.
    I do note that the requirements for Quicktime 7 are:
    Windows XP (got that)
    a pentium computer (AMD K6-2 500)
    and 128MB ram (have 384MB)
    I have downloaded the stand alone install for Quicktime 7.1
    I have the latest version of direct X and have checked for
    video driver updates (none available.
    So basically, I have done everything on the Quicktime
    support site and it will not work.
    I tried to view the WWDC, and got a Microsoft Visual C++
    Runtime Library error....Bufer Overrun Detected.
    I am working that issue with Microsoft.
    Any further light you can shed on this would be most appreciated.
