IWeb and HTML Help

Hey, Im using iWebMore to use html. I tried it to make an iFrame, didnt work, tried to embed a YouTube video, didnt work. So I tried something simple such as:
<@:
Hello!<hr/>Bye
:@>
which will simply but Hello! over Bye with a line between them. However, this still did not work.
I think the major problem I am having is that when in iWebMore, I choose 'Select Publish Folder...', navigate to my iDisk, but I can't choose the web folder as it is an alias. The Web folder is faded with a little black arrow in the bottom left hand corner of the folder. I think I need to change this folder from an alias to an actual folder, but I don't know how.
Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. =]

Someone please help. I have further information. I think it is a sync problem. I found this page:
"Issue or symptom
With iDisk Syncing enabled, some folders on your iDisk are aliases instead of regular folders.
Products affected
Mac OS X 10.3, Mac OS X 10.4
iDisk Syncing
Solution
No troubleshooting is necessary. These aliased folders on your iDisk are intentionally not synced in order to improve performance:
Web
Software
Library
Backup
Groups
You can access the folder by double-clicking the alias. Viewing the contents of these folders requires an active Internet connection."
But I know you can make these actual accessable folders, otherwise iWebMore wouldn't work? Please

Airplane help with Webhelp and HTML Help

Hi. We are generating 2 outputs using Robohelp v.6.0: HTML
Help and WebHelp. Standalone they both work fine. The context
sensitive .chm works too. Problems are:
1.) the primary help (Webhelp) does not appear - there isn't
any error msg either.
2.) when an invalid url is used the secondary help file does
appear (HTML help). But this doesn't happen with the correct url of
the primary help - Webhelp
Isn't there supposed to be a reference to the mapping in the
<head> of each htm file?
Can anyone help on this topic? many thanks!

First, move the styles from the form generator to the <head> of your document. Otherwise there is a possibility browsers could ignore the invalid code.
Then move your form div inside the banner div and set the attribute float:right; in your CSS for the form div. Then you should be good to go.

Single sourcing tools for paper and html help

Hi
Today I started a new job where html help is made in RoboHelp
and the paper manual is made in Word. Both are translated to 5
languages, so the translators also use Word and RoboHelp.
Unfortunately there is no single sourcing at all.
I want to introduce single-sourcing so that I use the same
source for output to html help and paper.
I am used to FrameMaker for paper output and the WebWorks
Publisher plugin for the html help output.
If I were alone I might use FrameMaker and Madcap Blaze. I
think however that I can introduce one but not two new tools for
the 5 translators.
What Is your suggestion? Which tools should I use? Word
hasn't the conditional text feature I need. I don't belive that
RoboHelp can create a Word output which lives up to the Company
design standards. Besides, will Robohelp live, does it works under
Window Vista?

Hi Polle2. First of all there are many users on these forums
who use RH to single source with no problems. Sure RH single
sourcing requires a little thought and set-up - just like most our
"true single source" tools. There's a new version of RH planned
(version X6) and currently in beta test but we won't know what
included in it until it's formally released.
As far as product comparisons are concerned, I've not used
Madcap Blaze and neither has anyone else as I believe it's not
released yet. My two penneth worth is you are right to go down the
single sourcing line and that RH - and other tools - could all fit
the bill. It all depends on which one fits your specific
needs.

Flash, iWeb, and More, HELP!!!!

Can anyone help me? I want a website with a homepage that is moving all the time with a film going on in the background. It has music playing too!
2. On the site, i will want "selector buttons" at the bottom of the page. Once a button is selected, the "Home Page film" will "transform" or mutate into another film. look here for example: http://www.starmotorcycles.com/star/msite/micro_v1.aspx
The "red dots" on the motorcycle. If you hold your mouse over a red dot, a movie plays!
3. On "Page 2," of my site there would be pictures of movies, etc. Select a picture and a movie would start up right away with music. Look here: http://www.starmotorcycles.com/star/msite/micro_v1.aspx.
4. also, what software is best for doing this?
5. I would lace together hundreds of small movies which would play as part of the button selection process, explained earlier.
6. I have purchased dreamweaver, extension manager, fireworks mx and freehand 10 as a package to make websites.
7. So, would it be best to set the site in html and have several flash subsections or make the entire site flash? is it hard to easy to do?
8. I am thinking about using the same type of cgi animation used in the film sky captain and the world of tomorrow. and some style elements form the grudge website and the movie bourne identity.
9. Near the front of "Sky Captain..." the female lead is sitting in an skyscraper-office typing. Behind her are several huge windows looking out over the city, from upon high. As she types, letters scroll across the windows where the view used to be. Minutes later, the female character goes to a movie house. the film CUTS to a CGI Camera view from up on a roof top. The CAM zooms down the face of the building and to the front door of the movie theatre. This is called an establishing shot.
I mention all this as I want to copy this basic structure. I'd like to have a "moving" home page that would be me sitting at a table writing something. The viewer would "hear" the music. Behind me would also be giant windows. the written music would start to scroll across the panes of the window just like "Sky Captain..."
Based on what street the CAM went, you would arrive at different scenes relevant to the kind of music I would like to display. There, like the "VMAX Motorcycle" web site, page 2, would be the selection of music with picture of as many cues that I had in that style, etc.
Can anyone help me and or give me advice? thank you and take care, all!

Congrats on your endeavour.
It cannot be done in iWeb.
But I see you bought the tools for the project.
Now you also need to acquire the skills to make it all work.
Here's a page with samples to get you started:

Adobe has a great forum too for all things releated Dreamweaver, Flash and all that stuff.

Iweb and blogger help

I have set up a blogger account to publish under my news section of my website. I created a template in iweb, the copied and pasted the html with some modification into the template editor in blogger. That works fine and can be seen at http://www.markmcleod.org/Mark_Mcleod/News.html However if you click an archive the template at the top is lost and the links are a little screwey. I think I have the file structure wrong. I have the images stored for the template in a folder called new_files and have the image source pointing to that folder. Anyone know how to fix this? I am doing it this way instead of with iweb so I can blog anywhere.

Hi,

IWeb and HTML (need to insert Google Analytics Codes

I have published my iWeb site but do not use (.Mac).
I am subscribed to Google Analytics and have a code which I managed to insert using Transmit.
When I needed to alter my webpages, I lost all my HMTL codes and had to reapply them page by page (an arduous task as I have 40-odd pages!).
How can I keep the codes in situ on the iWeb pages so that I can edit my iWeb pages and not have to keep putting them in everytime.
Thanks
Frances

You can't. But MassReplaceIt can make it a little easier for you.

Problem with Adobe Reader 9 and HTML Help, IE 7 and Firefox

Hello everyone
I have some Problems with the Adobe Reader 9.1.0 and different browsers.

The Trouble is that if the document is comlete loaded an i want to scroll down, the windows freezes again and the document starts again with built-on...
I have tried to open the documents with Reader 8.1.3 and this works fine, but i need to open the documents with Reader 9.1.0 because this is a customer preference to open the document with the newer version!
Sorry for my english but i hope my problem is understandable :-)
Does anyone know how to solve this problem?
kind regards
Marcel

1. It happens with any file i want to open in browser.
2. The Problem is specific to browser. When I open a document in the Reader application everithing works fine.
kind regards

HTML Help Studio?

Hello,
A forum search didn't return any results, so apologies if
this has already been asked and answered:
Where do I find the "HTML Help Studio"? We have a CHM that we
need to decompile as we no longer have the project itself, and the
instructions in RoboHelp Help indicate that this should be an
option on the Tools window.
However, I am not seeing this under Tools, nor under any
other menu option.
EDIT: We are using RoboHelp 7.
Thanks!

You can also decompile outside RoboHelp, using hh.exe which
is part of Windows.
Open a command shell and navigate to the directory containing
the CHM to decompile (you may want to place a copy somewhere easy
to type like C:\test).
Give the command:
hh -decompile scratch MyHelp.chm
This will decompile the CHM file into a directory called
scratch. The directory will be created if it does not exist, and
files will be overwritten if they exist.
What this procedure does not give you is the project file
MyHelp.hhp; there are various tools which attempt to reconstruct it
but none seems to be perfect.
BTW I have RoboHelp 7.02.001 and HTML Help Studio is in View
> Pods > Toolbox
Hope this helps,

Mac + Windows + HTML + iWeb = I need help

Here's what I want to accomplish. I'm really thinking it's not possible but if someone could let me know.
I am in charge of our church website. For years the main website has been done with a windows computer and html code and all. Recently I have used .mac to do the youth section. They had a few links on the main to my pages made with .mac.
Here's my question... Can I somehow use the domain name option in iweb to transfer my iweb pages to our church's secondary pages to keep all the info on one website? To put it simply, the main page of www.secondcapemaybaptist.com would be run with windows and html code, but www.secondcapemaybaptist.com/youth_groups be published using .mac.
My other thought would be to copy the html code that iweb produces and paste that onto the windows computer that runs our site, but that seems time consuming. So if anyone can think of a fast way to do that or help me out with the other question I would appreciate it.

Create a separate sub site called "Youth_Groups". Build your own navigation and, in it, include a link back to the main site.
Publish this to a folder on your desktop, rename the index.html to Youth_Groups.html and then upload both to the server.
No coding required!

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.

It is possible to insert a html code in iWeb?? help please!!

Hi there, and thanks for helping me!
I have a question. I am new to iWeb, and I am making my first website with Adobe Dreamweaver CS5. I have the HTML, CSS code ready to be uploaded to the web. So I wonder if it is possible to insert my HTML and CSS code in iWeb so I can publish it? I mean, my code in Dreamweaver is ready to be publish, so I want to put the code in iWeb and then publish it with all HTML, CSS and Javascript code. Thanks!

You might be able to reuse some of your html in iWeb with the HTML-snippet:
Whenever I need to do something tricky in iWeb I insert a HTML-snippet from the drop down insert menu -> widgets (or the Media Browser Widgets palette), adjust its size and paste the HTML code into the snippet.
You will not be able to recreate a complete page this way, but you might be able to save some preformatted parts of your page, like elaborate tables and groups of pictures.

I am trying to move a picture that I brought over from iWeb and it is locked. I need to move it. Can anyone help?

TS2167 I changed my header in iweb and when I published the site the font had shrunk and it displayed incorrectly. It was only on my home page, not on others. I have iweb 3.0.4. Help!?!?

I changed my header in iweb and when I published the site the font had shrunk and it displayed incorrectly. It was only on my home page, not on others. I have iweb 3.0.4. Help!?!?

Just in-case anyone els runs into this, I figured it out... I was working from my hotel and apperantly the fire wall was not allowing anything to uplaod, but I wasn't getting an error message from iweb, it would say that everything was published succesfully even though it wasn't. Once I went home and used my connection eveything worked fine.

Files needed to be present to use HTML help and Web help

For using RoboHelp for word generated .hlp files, we kept
.hlp and .cnt files in the production environment for the users.
Now, we are planning to migrate to Robohelp for HTML help and
gradually to WebHelp.
In that case what are the files that are required to be
present in the production environment?

With HTML Help all you need to ship are the CHM files. That
is because these are compiled files that contain all the essential
ingredients to see and use the help. The only exception to this
rule is if you are using a glossary or browse sequences. In this
instance you'll need to ensure all your users have the
HHACTIVEX.DLL file installed on their PC. If they don't they won't
be able to see them. You cab get the install routine for your
application to install and register this file.
With regards to Webhelp, you'll need to publise all the files
generated by the compile. Part of the compile process is setting up
the location of the published files (e.g. Intranet, FTP). You don't
have to worry about what to publish. As long as you have your
location correctly defined all the files are copied there.

So you want us to write it for you? It's pretty straight forward, first parse the xml file with the *[best java xml parser|http://www.google.com/search?&q=parsing+xml+in+java]* and then go through the nodes and construct the html with strings and concatination. Then write the file using *[the best java file writer|http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=writing+to+a+file+in+java]*.
