IWeb and Firefox

Regarding iWeb 2.0.2: I have created a photo page on my website but find that with Firefox (2.0.0.10) and Netscape Navigator (9.0.0.4) when I click on a photo I'm taken to a page for seeing a larger image but the image isn't there. There are thumbnails along the top and captions below but no large image. Same for slideshow. This is NOT an issue with Safari. Anyone else having this problem?
Site is http://www.healthcarenepal.org or http://web.mac.com/healthcarenepal
Thanks.

I installed Firefox 2.0.0.10 to see if it would overcome the previous versions inability to load a flash movie. Now I find that I have no slideshows.
No matter what they are doing... They are doing it plain wrong... In Firefox under Help there's something like "Report malfunctioning website" (translated from german... Don't know why I have it in german but anyway it's the third option under help) try reporting there...
However I don't think this will really help... Too little people here... But do it anyway please...
I can't understand why Firefox worked so well and with the last two updates the well-doing is gone...

IWeb and Firefox 3

So when will we see a fix from apple for the Photo gallery+FF3 problem? It's not a Firefox issue, and it's been known for well over a month, so when will we finally get an official fix?

t's not a Firefox issue,
I see it differently.
and it's been known for well over a month, so when will we finally get an official fix?
There are three patches for that already:

IWeb-generated site OK in Safari and Firefox, but no NavBar in IE

I created a site in iWeb and it displays fine in Safari and Firefox. However, the entire NavBar section is not displaying in Internet Explorer, despite loose permissions for running code in IE.
The script section from one of the pages appears below, and any help or suggestions are much appreciated. I need to get this site up, and really need it to be accessible for IE users.
Thanks.
<script type="text/javascript"><![CDATA[//><!]]></script>

Are you using the navigation menu that comes with the page template? If so, it will not display on a PC with Internet Explorer unless javascript is turned on in the preferences. The template nav bars in iWeb use java and if this is not enabled on some computers, then it cannot be seen.
What you can do so that it will show up in IE, is to create your own text based navigation bar instead - to do this, just open the Inspector and then go to Page - second choice in and click on the boxes which say hide navigation menu and then just create your own by using a text box, shape or whatever. Don't forget to hyperlink to your pages though.

IWeb internal hyperlinks not working on Safari and Firefox

I've just finished creating my website using iweb and hosting it through an FTP server. However all but one of the hyperlinks to internal pages don't work when viewing it on Safari or Firefox on either a PC or a MAC. They just appear as text and you can't hover over them. External hyperlinks appear to work as normal.
In addition blog entries i've created aren't shown in their entirety on Internet Explorer. You can access the blog using the 'Archives' link on safari or firefox (the only internal link that does work) and i can see the complete entry but this is not the case of IE. It is just missing half of the text.
What am i doing wrong? I really want to get these bugs fixed asap.

Ah, good call. I will try that when I return home. Strange that safari and firefox would have an issue with this but not internet explorer. Seems so simple but still getting my head around working a website, thanks. Will comment if it doesn't work.
But can anyone explain to me why the only blog entry "shooting on an iphone" would not appear in it's entirety on iternet explorer 9, when it appears on fine on safari, firefox and iternet explorer 7 & 8. It just stops at the heading 'lessons learned'

I just put up a new iWeb website and firefox is putting BIG BLACK BOXES around all my photos. Why has this not been fixed yet? I have to tell everybody who views my site NOT to use Firefox. This is unacceptable. Please fix ASAP. This is my site below.

with 3.6.19 it works well, no black boxes
with 5.0.1 there are black boxes

You will have to wait for Firefox 6 to get this fixed. It is a bug only in Firefox 5. That bug existed when the Firefox 5 code was split off and Firefox 5 didn't get the fix that later version got.

IWeb pages and Firefox

http://web.mac.com/signedupuy/eslspells.com/Home4.html
The following page when loaded in Firefox seems to lose all its formatting while it is fine in Safari and IE. The text of the page is nested in text box so that formatting is maintained but instead everything is messed up. Any ideas?

http://web.mac.com/signe_dupuy/eslspells.com/Home.html
David,
to me it displays exactly the same in Safari 3.0.4 and Firefox 2.0.0.12
I don't see any formatting problems.

Problem with ORARRP and Firefox

We installed ORARRP utility on a pc. If we create an .rrpt file and double click it the orarrp
utility captures the request and pops up a dialogue box. So the orarrp utility
is successfully installed in the system.
If we use Internet Explorer to run an .rrpt report (through an oracle forms application) the orarrp utility captures
the request. So with IE is working fine.
If we use firefox to run an .rrpt report (through an oracle forms application) the orarrp utility is not called
and firefox just presents the .rrpt file on the screen.
This issue is met in all platforms, all oracle versions, all firefox versions.
It is very important to make it run with firefox since due to another issue some of our clients are
forced to use firefox instead of IE.

My solution is patching iWeb to ignore shadows with Firefox 5.0 (without warranties - you should test it )
a) locate iWebImage.js in iWeb (usally in /Applications/iWeb.app/Contents/Resources/Scripts/Site) - with finder you must use "show package content"
b) open this file and locate funtion "applyToElement: function(shadowed)
c) skip shadowing with userAgent Firefox/5.0 (see if-Statement)
d) republish the website
    applyToElement: function(shadowed)
        var framePos = new IWPoint(shadowed.offsetLeft, shadowed.offsetTop);
        var frameSize = new IWSize(shadowed.offsetWidth, shadowed.offsetHeight);
        var opacity = 1.0;
        if((navigator.userAgent.indexOf("Firefox/5.0") <= -1) && (shadowed != null))
            shadowed = $(shadowed);
            opacity = shadowed.getStyle('opacity');
            if(windowsInternetExplorer)
                // To make an object with shadow from a given object (shadowed) we go through the following

Flash not working in Safari (and Chrome and Firefox) - possible solution

Yesterday my Mac crashed (actually when I was away from it) and when it rebooted, Adobe Flash would freeze any web browser it ran in (Safari, Firefox and Chrome - which surprised me as I thought it used a different version of Flash). Great with so many live-blogs happening in the world of news right now.
I tried all the usual suspects:
* Deleted browser caches;
* Uninstalled Flash (Adobe have an uninstaller available) and reinstalled the same version;
* Uninstalled Flash and reinstalled the newest version;
* Made sure I had no duplicate fonts (I did) as I'd experienced problems with this with an iPhoto upgrade;
* Checked recent upgrades (iWeb and Camera updates) to see what they installed (nothing dangerous);
* Fixed permissions (they needed it);
* Tried running Safari under 32-bit (didn't think that would work as I hadn't updated Flash itself);
* Signed in as another user.
None worked.
As a last resort, I downloaded the latest version of the Onyx utility (freeware) and ran the Maintenance scripts, then, under Cleaning, deleted System cache, User cache, Internet stuff (left the cookies), and Font caches (you'll need to Close all the dialog boxes then Restart at the end). Expect a long reboot.
That worked.
It may not work for everyone but may for someone.
Scott

I was having the same issue. I logged into another account, a plain no add-ons account and found that I could view flash content with Safari OK. That mean that there was some preference file in my primary account that was the culprit.
Here's how to cull out the bad apple (pun intended):
Trouble Shooting Preferences
Go to HD/Users/Your_name/Library. Move the Preferences folder (in its entirety) to the Desktop and make a second copy of it so you have Copy A and B. Now try the the process again and determine if problem is fixed.
If the problem IS fixed, then go to the new Prefs folder that the OS will have created and open it up.
Open Copy B on the Desktop and select all of the items inside. Drag them into the open new library folder. When the Copy window comes up check the Apply to All check box and then click on the Don't Replace button as seen here. That will keep the new files created and bring back all of the others.
If the problem is NOT fixed, trash the new Prefs folder and move the intact Copy A folder back to the Library folder .
This cleared it up. I ended up with 16 items that were not put back in the preference folder.
Hope this will work for some of you.

Blog summary widget and Firefox

I just started having this issue where the iWeb page when viewed with Firefox is truncated and the pages simply have Blog Summary Widget showing without any summaries and only one or two headlines and no links. However, if I view the page with Safari it looks and works fine. I've been posting on the blog for over a week without any viewing problems on Firefox previously.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance for any help.

I don't believe that I've downloaded any Firefox updates in the past 24 hours. I'm using Firefox 3.0.8. A friend using Leopard and Firefox is able to view the page without any problems, as is someone using Internet Explorer on a PC. So, I guess it's looking like it's a problem with my particular Firefox browser, eh?

IWeb and Quicktime Movie Upload 2013

Three or so years ago, I made a website using iWeb (the last version Apple produced; i.e. the current version), and I included some videos. The videos were from a digital (tape) video camera, edited with iMovie HD, and were old-format 640x480. I managed to work out how to set the movies to start quickly (before fully loading) using iMovie and QuickTime. I dropped the movie into a regular iWeb page, resized it, put the settings up with the iWeb inspector, and all was well. The movies played (and still play) on Safari and Firefox, on my Macs and on an Asus Windows machine I have. (They won't play on my iPad - if anyone can tell me why, I'd be grateful; I'll probably put the original DV through a more recent version of iMovie and QT, and upload again.)
I want to make another similar website. However, my camera is now a HD tape model, and I have made my peace with iMovie '11 and worked out how to use it. My machine is the latest Mac Mini, and so QT is the latest also. I run Mountain Lion.
I made a movie with iMovie '11, and exported a quality version. I opened it in QT and chose 'Export for Web' and selected the option which gives me three different sizes. After some struggles, I worked out how to put this into my uploaded iWeb (test) site (although I have to say that the instructions Apple's QT gives are not the clearest), and it works, even on my iPad.
My questions concern the code which QT says you should upload. The code in the <body>, I understand, and it's obviously necessary to play the movie.
But about the <head> tag QT says:
Please note, to properly validate as XHTML, the <style> tag and the first <script> tag should be placed within your page's <head> tag.
Here's the code QT says to paste into the <head>
<script src="scripts/prototype.js" language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="scripts/qtp_poster.js" language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript"></script>
<link href="stylesheets/qtp_poster.css" rel="StyleSheet" type="text/css" />
However, the movie playback still seems to work without uploading the code for the <head> of the page. And there is NO <style> tag, and why only the FIRST <script> tag?
The <head> on the page iWeb produces for my test page already has a lot of code:
<head>
    <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />
    <meta name="Generator" content="iWeb 3.0.4" />
    <meta name="iWeb-Build" content="local-build-20130116" />
    <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=EmulateIE7" />
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=950" />
    <title>Ed's Video Test</title>
    <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="screen,print" href="Eds_Video_Test_files/Eds_Video_Test.css" />
    
    
    <style type="text/css">
/*<![CDATA[*/
    @import "Scripts/Widgets/HTMLRegion/Paste.css";
/*]]>*/
</style>
    <script type="text/javascript" src="Scripts/iWebSite.js"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript" src="Scripts/iWebImage.js"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript" src="Scripts/iWebMediaGrid.js"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript" src="Scripts/Widgets/SharedResources/WidgetCommon.js"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript" src="Scripts/Widgets/HTMLRegion/Paste.js"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript" src="Eds_Video_Test_files/Eds_Video_Test.js"></script>
</head>
Questions:
1. Should I put the QT code in the <head> tag anyway, even though it seems to work without it?
2. If I don't put it in, does that mean the choice between the three movies doesn't take place? I don't have a smartphone, but the playback on my 27" screen, my Asus netbook, and on my iPad all look fine without the head code.
3. If I do put it in, where exactly do I put it, and do I need to replace any of the code that is already there?
4. The original iWeb drag and drop method still seems to work fine with movies direct from iMovie (and plays even on my iPad), but obviously you can only put one version of the movie on a page. Is there still a good reason for using the multi-size version which involves manually uploading the movie and opening the page after uploading and inserting code for every movie? For example, I have a very fast internet connection. Maybe it's kind to those with a slower connection to put up the smaller movies also?
And, since I'm here, I have a couple of slightly related questions:
5. I designed my site (it's non-commercial, just a trip report, but with a lot of pages) to not need any scrolling even on quite a small desktop screen (you click on from page to page like a book, but you can also navigate around sections more easily this way; anyway that's how I like it). But on the iPad, held horizontally, the width is resized to take up the full width of the sceen, so you then need to scroll down. It's really annoying me. Is there some code I could put in to tell the iPad not to do this (there are plenty fewer vertical pixels on my website's pages than on the iPad screen)? (I don't care about phones, because the site is photo-based so looking at it on a phone is pointless in my opinion. And netbooks with only 768 vertical pixels are not particularly important to me either, but the iPad screen is plenty big enough for the site to work the way I want it to.)
6. And I want to include slideshows of photos without using the iWeb/iPhoto system (which brings up an external window in a different colour). I want the user to be able to see the thumbnails, to start and stop an on-page slideshow, and for me to be able to put captions (descriptions) with the slides. There seem to be a lot of options, and I still haven't finished looking at all the ones I got from the web. But does anyone have a good recommendation - paid or free?
Thanks for reading this long thread, and for any advice.

See the second method described on this page for how to add the code to an HTML Snippet...
http://www.iwebformusicians.com/Website-Movie-Video/Poster-Movie.html
The prefered method of playing movies on websites is to use an HTML5 player with flash fallback for older browsers. Using this method, you can get away with only one video file - an MP4.
In this section of iWeb for Musicians you can see examples of several different types of flash fallback players...

http://www.iwebformusicians.com/Website-Movie-Video/Flow-Player-5-2.html
iWeb uses a fixed width page so it is not possible to use it to create a page that will respond to different browser widths. You need to create a version of your site to suit each type of device or use a responsive design like this...

IWeb and Internet Explorer

Hi all,
I am a technician at a college, and we're using iWeb to publish websites for the students' coursework. Upon checking the health of the published pages, it is apparent that many of the students' work is not appearing in Internet Explorer correctly. Several of the images and text boxes are not appearing in the correct place and are overlapping.
So far browsing the forums a common answer appears to be 'Don't use Internet Explorer', however given that it is the world's most widely used web browser, and that we have no control over what browser the coursework moderators will be using when sample work is sent away, we are looking for a proper solution to this problem.
We are using intel-based macs with the latest version of iWeb and OSX.
Thanks in advance.

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Make sure you're using Web Safe Fonts and that text boxes are not overlapping or touching other text boxes or objects. Roddy's iWeb for Musicians has some good tips: How to get your iWeb Site to load in Internet Explorer. There may be some there that can help you.
The suggestion about suggestion and offering Firefox is a very good one. You'll help bring many of the students into the 21st century.

Problems with iweb and Internet Explorer

I'm having trouble with my iweb website - PC users using Internet Explorer can access my site home-page but find the navigation bar is blocked - covered by a green rectangle which does not allow the links to be explored. With Safari and Firefox the website works properly. Has anyone else experienced this?

Transparency (opacity in CSS) is one of those things that's used by those who know nothing about it or those who know a lot about and is best avoid by all the rest of us!
To create a class "transparent" to cover all bets would require something like this...
.transparent {
          /* Required for IE 5, 6, 7 */
          /* ...or something to trigger hasLayout, like zoom: 1; */
          width: 100%;
          /* Theoretically for IE 8 & 9 (more valid) */
          /* ...but not required as filter works too */
          /* should come BEFORE filter */
          -ms-filter:"progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.Alpha(Opacity=50)";
          /* This works in IE 8 & 9 too */
          /* ... but also 5, 6, 7 */
          filter: alpha(opacity=50);
          /* Older than Firefox 0.9 */
          -moz-opacity:0.5;
          /* Safari 1.x (pre WebKit!) */
          -khtml-opacity: 0.5;
          /* Modern!
          /* Firefox 0.9+, Safari 2?, Chrome any?
          /* Opera 9+, IE 9+ */
          opacity: 0.5;
For modern browsers we can use this...
.transparent {
          zoom: 1;
          filter: alpha(opacity=50);
          opacity: 0.5;
But how do we know what our visitors are using?

Add comments button not visible for IE and firefox users?

hi.. i've used iweb 06 v 1.1.2 to create a small website and blog, with 'add comments' buttons on the blog pages. when i view my website from my own laptop with safari i can see and use the add comments button, but when i view the website from pcs running internet explorer, or from my own or another mac laptop running firefox the add comments buttons are not there. any ideas why this should be and how i can solve it?
thanks in advance for any help!

does anyone have any ideas on this one? still can't seem to get comments to work for explorer and firefox/mozilla users although safari is ok.
thanks!

Quicktime file works in Camino and Firefox, but not Safari

Hi all,
I just updated my iWeb site, which I use as a portfolio site. I have quicktime files loaded that are commercials I've worked on. Today I added one via iWeb, loaded it, then went to watch it and it doesn't work. The page opens, the QT window is there, but it's like the file doesn't load. The play line at the bottom remains light gray, and it doesn't fill up showing that the file is loading. HOWEVER, i've gone to both Camino and Firefox and it plays in both of those browsers.
I was previously on 3.1.2 and noticed there was an update available. Updated, then tried again and the same problem persists. I'm confused.
I'm guessing this has to be a Safari thing since i've been successful getting it to play in 2 other browsers. Has anyone come across this and know of anyway I can get this work? Having this available for viewing is pretty important, as I use that site as a portfolio site and a means of getting jobs. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Okay, so both are back in the folder and I'm back to where I started; the QT window loads, but the status bar does not seem to be loading, that is, I can hit the play button but it won't play b/c it's like the file is not loading.
I did go to Help>Safari>Installed Plug-ins. Both are shown; there's a section for QuickTime Plugin.plugin and for QuickTime Plugin.webplugin. Both have a much larger header above them that says "QuickTime Plug-In 7.5.5." Not sure if that's pertinent or not. Just thought I'd post that info.
Okay, so here is the page to my spot that doesn't work in Safari, but does in Camino and Firefox:
http://www.smithcory.com/portfolio/NFLSuper_AdPromo.html
It's a small file, 4.6MB's so I can't imagine file size being a problem. There is a slight difference bt firefox and Camino when playing it; in Firefox, it takes about 8 seconds before it will start playing, like Firefox is loading it or something. In Camino, it plays right away. Not sure if that helps or is pertinent again, but just trying to provide as much info as I can. Thanks for the help.

IWeb and TRACEROUTE IN TERMINAL BOX - is it safe to type in box on my Mac?

I have a new iWeb site, newly hosted by a British company (not Mobile Me).
They want me to do a trace route from my iMac OS X 10.5.8 and send them the results.
This is because I cannot log into their cPanel because I get a message (on Safari and Firefox) that SSL encryption is required for access.
I do not want to do anything to upset the way my Mac runs.
They asked me to go to Finder-Applications-Utilities-Terminal and put in:
traceroute (and then my domain name)
But
In the Terminal box on my Mac I already have text which reads:
Last login: Thu May 28 15:48:43 on console
Macintosh:~ then my name followed by dollar sign
Is it OK to type into this box
traceroute (and then my domain name) ?
I have to access the cPanel to set up an email link and the hosting company does not know what is going wrong.

Is it OK to type into this box
That's what it is for.
You can also use the Network Utility in your Application > Utilities folder.
You will get the same results. Plus lots more options.
Edit : It has nothing to do with iWeb. Terminal is part of OS X.
