Please Please assist me I neeeeed help! :O

When you load a webpage, your browser stores the information so that the page will load quicker if you go back to it.
It will "remember" the old version of your website and may not "see" the new changes.
In Safari go to the Safari drop down menu, click on Empty Cache and then click the Empty button.
Try to get into the habit of doing this regularly and particularly before you visit your newly published changes.

IWeb hyperlinks working on only one page

Hi,
I'm building a website with iWeb - www.dariusenakim.nl
It's in Dutch so the words won't mean anything to you but it's a fairly simply product with just four pages in total:
Home, Work, About Us, Contact
When you go to the site you arrive at Home (I did not make it so, this was default. I guess it recognized the Home.html? - another question) and all the hyperlinks at the top work. However whenever you click on one you go to the directed page but there the exact same hyperlinks are not recognized as hyperlinks any more. It's the exact same lay-out for all pages but only one of four is working!
Can anyone help me solve this problem? I've already tried moving the images up or down (the whole header-layer discussion) but it doesn't make any difference and the lay-out as it is seems to be working flawlessly on the first page (home), so why not on the others? I've also tried not using links to internal pages but external links to the actual website address but no difference: only the first page is working.
The really strange thing is that I have an alternative Home page set up: www.dariusenakim.nl/Home_Alt.html
This was just a test to see if we wanted another lay-out but we didn't go for it. However on this page the hyperlinks are also working!!
Please advice. Thanks in advance.
ps. iWeb 3.0.4 (304) developped in 2011

Hi Wyodor,
If that was the case why would the exact same lay-out work on the first 2 pages but not on the others? Does the body layer alter its size randomly so that sometimes the images are in the wrong layer and sometimes not? Even with duplicating the exact same page?
Will try later tonight anyway but like I said: it doesn't make any sense it's 4 times the same page with just different content beneath it...

IWeb Hyperlink

I managed to set up an image on iWeb to work as a hyperlink to an external web site I have. While I am in the iWeb application, I can click on the picture and it takes me to the webpage I want it to link to.
However, when I go to the published iWeb page the little blue arrow in the corner of the picture is now gone, and the picture no longer functions as a hyperlink.
Can someone please help me understand, why the link doesn't work when the iWeb page goes online?
Thanks in advance,
~ john

Thanks, Gang. I am pleased to report that the image on my iWeb is now a hyperlink to my other site - a HomePage that is using my own domain name as the URL.
I trashed the image that was causing me all the grief, and re-imported it from iPhoto using the Inspector. I made certain there were no interfering "thin lines" behind the spot where I was placing the image, ie misplaced text boxes,etc, in the background.
Following that, I cleared the caches, and put in to place the excellent strategy outlined by Mark. His post is so bang on, that I am reposting it here, as others will be save a lot of frustration.
In iWeb, open your photos page in which you want to create your hyperlinked photos.
From the menu options at the bottom of the iWeb window, click on the green Shapes box, and select the square. Position the square over the photo you wish to hyperlink, and expand it to cover the photo. Now open Inspector.
Click on Graphic Inspector, (third from the right in the Inspector menu options), and define the square as follows:
Fill: None
Stroke: None
Opacity: 1%
Open your TextEdit.app and type in the urls you wish to use for your links. This isn't exactly necessary, but it will save a little aggravation when it comes to setting your links in Inspector. Highlight and Command+C the specified url for the hyperlink. Now, back in iWeb, highlight the box you just set up and in Inspector, check the box next to Enable as a Hyperlink. The copied url will automatically be placed in the hyperlink field. Click on the iWeb page and the link will be set.
You have now hyperlinked an invisible shape, placed over the photo, to your target url, making it appear as if the photo itself is the hyperlink.

IWeb hyperlink "ghosted" for images

Why is it that iWeb will not allow me to add a hyperlink to ANY images on my site? When I select an image, then "Insert > Hyperlink", the "Webpage", "Email message", and "File..." options are ghosted, not active, not enabled, dead. Why is that? How can this problem be remedied? I am becoming very frustrated with iWeb '08 now because features that should easily function, such as adding a hyperlink to an image and using Google AdSense without crashing iWeb are totally messed up!
Does anyone have any helpful information about the adding a hyperlink to an image problem? Obviously, any and all helpful info will be greatly appreciated.
Best regards and many blessings,
Stoneman

Inspector. Hmmm... go figure. I am just stupid enough to have tried to enable an image as a hyperlink from the menu "Insert>Hyperlink" DOH!
Thanks so much, Robert. I appreciate your help very much! It works great now!
Blessings!

Iweb Hyperlink can't be set up.

Just posted this on the '09 site and realized I'm '08...
I have designed my own web page. When I select a particular text word(s) (by highlight it/them) and then go to inspector:hyperlink and click "enable Hyperlink" everything below it remains grayed out, so I cannot choose a "link to" nor enter a URL.
Any thoughts?
Thank you.

Try deleting your <com.apple.iWeb.plist> file.
First make sure your domain file is in the user/library/application support/i/Web folder.
Duplicate that file and store it safely off the hard drive. (external drive, flash drive, CD, etc)
With iWeb not running, navigate to your user/library/preferences/folder and delete the <com.apple.iWeb.plist> file.
Then restart iWeb and see if that helps, if not you may have to reload iWeb.
Just make sure you have your domain file safely backed up.

IWeb Slideshow help/problems/question

Hi everyone. I've been searching through all the posts and keep trying to use various methods to create a pop-up slideshow inside my iweb page. Nothing is working OR maybe it just can't be done?
I need some expert help to check this one out for me. It would be soooooo appreciated at this point. Many of you seem pretty advanced with getting around the limitations of iweb.
Here's my site, created all in iweb. In the "Design & Print" page I'd like to put a hyperlink that opens a new window with a flash viewer like simpleviewer. It seems like a real pain but I have to conquer this problem. Thanks everyone for your help!!!!
Main site:
http://www.razorheadsnyc.com/main.html
Problem page:
http://www.razorheadsnyc.com/design_print.html

OK, here's what I would do:
1. Get this program:
http://mountainmandan.net/webexport
Adds a tab to iPhoto Export pane to export SimpleViewer or other slideshows.
Upload the resulting folder to your server. So the address would be
http://www.razorheadsnyc.com/nameofslideshowfolder/index.html
2. In iWeb, make a link on the design&print page to
http://www.razorheadsnyc.com/nameofslideshowfolder/index.html
3. Publish to a folder as usual, but don't upload yet
4. Now you will need to make a slight change in the html code in order to make this link open in a new window. You can open the html files generated by iWeb in any text or html editor. In TextEdit, to view the code in an HTML file, choose File > Open and select "Ignore rich text commands." Then locate the desig_print.html file and click Open.
Find
href="http://www.razorheadsnyc.com/nameofslideshowfolder/index.html"
Replace with
target="_blank" href="http://www.razorheadsnyc.com/nameofslideshowfolder/index.html"
Or, if you want to specify the size of the window,
Find
href="http://www.razorheadsnyc.com/nameofslideshowfolder/index.html"
Replace with
href="#" onclick="javascript:window.open('http://www.razorheadsnyc.com/nameofslideshowfo lder/index.html','_blank','width=x,height=y,toolbar=0,menubar=0,resizable=0,loca tion=0,status=0,scrollbars=0,directories=0'); return false;"
x and y are the dimensions you want the window to be.
Remember, if you make a change to a page like this post-publishing, and later re-publish, you have to make the html changes again! Set up a Find/Replace command in MassReplaceIt and you can do this very quickly. You can save your queries so you can make all of your changes with one click the next time you save.

IWeb hyperlink color change: have already tried posted suggestions

I am beyond frustrated right now. Please help me get my program to do what it was clearly designed to do! I will be thrilled if I am just making a simple error.
I have tried the following to change hyperlink text color:
a. disabled hyperlinks, selected the hyperlink (both by clicking in and by clicking near--both get blue box around it), then highlighting text, clicking on "T" in inspector, changing font color there, re-enabling hyperlinks. NO COLOR CHANGE.
b. downloading a program that is supposed to do it for you. NO COLOR CHANGE.
c. with navigation bar (not my main concern), tried creating my own text box, with own links. When it was just text, I changed the color with font change at bottom of iWeb. As soon as I created hyperlinks, they turned to black and wouldn't change. NO COLOR CHANGE>

Yes delete it and redo it using the new way. It is sometimes a lot faster and easier to get rid of a difficulty than trying to find out where it goes wrong.
I think it is part of the way it was formatted initially but I can't say for sure why it is not right. You can copy paste the style from another page or if this link is on another page you can copy paste it.

Iweb hyperlink opacity frustration!

Hi there,
I'm using iWeb to put together a website for my assessment and I'm currently having problems with my text hyperlinks.
I've made its 'normal' setting 0% opaque with a black rollover. This works fine in the program but once I publish it to my browser (tried Safari and Google Crome - to a local folder) it doesn't respond to the rollover change.
I've tried everything to my knowledge...is this a known glitch?
Please help...my assessment is on Friday Thank you!

Bonjour,
You need to turn your link into image

Hyperlink help needed

I am having some difficulty with hyperlinks in iWeb. I have made a Genealogy file in Reunion for Mac and posted it to iDisk. I can enter the URL into the address bar in Safari and it comes right up. Notice this is all Mac stuff.
NOw when I go in to iWeb and make a hyperlink and choose "an external page" I can enter the URL and then I choose open in a new window and make hyperlinks active. If it wrks at all, even after publishing, it goes to an Apple site of some description. Nothing I have entered. When I go back to iWeb, the URL in the box is the apple livepage URL. It's as if I was never there.
Can someone help me with this nuthouse??!!

Is this a text link and are you formatting it?

IWeb hyperlink that has failed

I have at last published new website, but the hyperlinks do not work. Are you able to have more than one external website to make into hyperlink, and if so how do you do it please?

You can have as many links to external sites as you want - both text and image.
Have you looked at the iWeb help menu? Enter "creating hyperlinks" into the search box.

IWeb hyperlinks to my pages not all working

Hi, I have completed my website and published using my FTP Server.
Problem 1 - When publishing, just as the little "clock" is almost finished it's cycle, an error message displays saying there was a problem publishing to your FTP Server, try again later. But the pages still get published correctly.
Problem 2 - The "red" pages on iWeb do not change to "blue" after publishing.
Problem 3 - (And this is my biggest problem) The hyperlinks to other pages in the Navigation Pane work, but they do not work for my pages that I have NOT included in the Navigation Pane. For example, I have a page called "What We Offer" and on that page there is a list of hyperlinks in case the viewer wants more information, which will take them to another page on my site. But these don't work ... all I get is a blank white page saying something like "the requested URL page could not be found".
What am I doing wrong? Everything else on iWeb has worked brilliantly ... I just cannot link to these hidden pages.
My FTP service providers do not work on apple at all, so they've suggested I download FileZilla so that they can help me.
But I would like to try work this out before downloading another software.
As I said, everything else on the site works perfectly ... it's just the links to these other pages of mine.
By the way I have tried:
Moving objects foreward
Increasing spaces between hyperlinks and other text/pictures
Redoing each and every page

What's the URL of your site so we can examine it first hand?
In the meantime publish your site to a folder on your hard drive, open it with your browser and see if the links are working there. If so then there's an problem with the uploading of the files. If that's the case you should try using the free FTP client Cyberduck to upload the site files. This tutorial might be of interest: #2 - Uploading Only Those Newly Published or Edited Files When Using a 3rd Party FTP Client.
If the links don't work in the local version then you might have something overlapping the link.

No, iweb cannot import or edit anything. You can try copy/pasting or drag/drop your stuff into an iweb template and see how it works.

Teachers sharing one dot mac with iWeb need help- sites are being lost

Sorry to be lengthy- Here's the question and issue first and then the background.
Question/Issue: Anyone know a way we can have multiple people (eventually 20 or so) with their own computers creating sites in iWeb and publishing them to a common dot mac account without wiping each other out?
Background:I am a teacher and at our school we have a single dot mac account. A few of us have been using iWeb (2 on iWeb 08 and 1 on iWeb 06) and posting our sites to dot mac with no problems. The iWeb 06 sites went to a folder under Web> Sites>iWeb in our dot-mac's iDisk; the iWeb 08 sites were directly under the Web>Sites folder. When sites were uploaded from different computers there was no problem (they all had unique names) and it worked great until this week.Even the 2 users both on iWeb 08 could send their sites to the iDisk and nothing would be deleted, just more site folders were added.
We are now all on iWeb 08 and so nothing goes into the folder on the dot-mac's iDisk under iWeb, they all go as unique sites- no problem I thought.
Our problem is now that when any one of us update our sites, it wipes out everyone else's site (since their site isn't on our computer). It didn't used to be that way 2 weeks ago !!! Could this be something new with the migration to mobile me (if it is, this really ***** for us)
I know a solution is to publish the sites to folders and then drag to the dot mac in sub-folders under Web>Sites instead of publish and each of us can have our own folder, but its a pain and not all of the teachers will be able to do this.
I think there is a feature in iWeb06 called personal domains, but I think we can only have 2, so not sure if this will help.
Does anyone know a way to set the defaults in the domain.sites2 file or in iWeb so it will use a sub-folder when loading up to dot mac? This way each of us can have our settings different and it will load for us automatically on the iDisk.
Does anyone know why this used to work and now it doesn't?
Any other ideas- Help Please

From my own experience.
When you publish to dotMac the index.html file in the root redirects to the top Site in the list of the iWeb domain file.
I use ca. 40 Sites in some 30 domain files. And most are customized after publishing. Plus a lot more irregular stuff.
iWeb remembers what Site in which domain was published last.
When I choose a different domain file, iWeb will create a new index.html file to redirect to the "new" Site.
As far as I could determine, none of the either published Sites are deleted. If iWeb did delete previous published Sites I would not change domain files.
In your case the following will happen. Every student publishes his/her Site(s). The last one published will be the default Site.
As long as no-one changes his/her Sitename or add a new Site at the top of the list, the default Site last published will be that.
Make sure everybody's Sitename is unique.
I use a custom index.html file in the root. So I have to pay attention that when I publish a new site, the custom index.html page is overwritten. I keep a copy of that index.html file in the root. I can replace the index.html file in case of emergency.
Does anyone know a way to set the defaults in the domain.sites2 file or in iWeb so it will use a sub-folder when loading up to dot mac? This way each of us can have our settings different and it will load for us automatically on the iDisk.
Don't look for hidden settings. If it was possible, it would be visible in the preferences. Accept the way iWeb/dotMac does its job. It wasn't designed to be used by multiple users with multiple computers and only one account. That should give you a hint.
All other problems are purely organizational. Personally I wouldn't trust multiple persons on one account. Give them their own account. If they mess up things they are responsible. Or find another solution.
