Iweb comments issue!

i have an iweb site and am using a third party code for comments as i do not have a MobileMe account for the built in comment system with iweb.
and im having an issue... so i use the html snippet widget and all works fine until there are enough comments that it reaches the bottom of the page and it like runs oout of space and i have to increase the height in order to see more.... how do i make it so the comments automatically push the page down so half of its not cut off?

*Sorry for the double post, but I appear to have two Apple ID accounts*
Over the past week or so, I have had two people tell me that they can not leave comments on my blog. I have tried myself (from MacBook Pro, iPhone 4 and Dell/Windows) and can not get a comment to post. I get the pop-up comment window, enter my comment, enter my name and then enter the security "phrase" that is provided. Then, when I hit "Add Comment" it just sits there. It does not reqister at all. And this is all on a very simple MobileMe hosted site. No outside domain. No outside tools. Just iWeb and MobileMe.
Does anyone have any suggestions? Does anyone know if MobileMe is experiencing issues that are causing this? It sounds like I am not the only one.

IWeb - Comments on blog

Since MobileMe no longer exist, I can´t find where to set in a comment field for others to leave a message on my blog. Is there a possibility to do this in a different way?

Here's some info about adding comments, password protection etc...

IWeb 09 issue with displaying MobileMe Galleries in Weblog

Hello everyone,
I searched but did not see this exact issue. I upgraded to iLife 09 this week and my site from iWeb 08 opened successfully in iWeb 09 (although everything was Red). After adding 3 new blog entries, I decided to publish today. At first, the publish entire site errored out with the progress circle half way. I simply tried again and it finally completed the publish entire site.
I checked my website on-line on a Mac using Safari, and on Windows using I.E. and Safari, and have the same problem on all three.
All of my weblog entries that contain a MobileMe Gallery (both photos and videos) are fine in iWeb just as they were before the upgrade. However, when I view the weblog on line, the Web Galleries do not show up on any of the blog entries. There is just a blank space where they used to be.
I also checked my actual Web Gallery on both Mac and Windows and can view content on both. I repaired permissions before my publish and I have noticed one item since I upgraded to 10.5.6 this week (also). I get a permission error related to "Library/PrivateFrameworks/iLifeMediaBrowser.Framework" that does not appear to get repaired because it shows up every time I repair permissions. I also get another unrepaired permission related to "CoreServices/RawCamera.bundle" but I don't think that is related to this issue.
I have always received excellent help on this forum when encountering an issue and am hoping there is one for this issue. Any and all help is greatly appreciated.
Having read many of the comments here on this forum, I feel fortunate that my issues were not worse. Here is the URL of a weblog entry that should have 4 MobileMe Galleries at the bottom:

Thanks in advance,

Your URL contains apostrophe character, iweb javascript code had been changed in web09.
It converts special character in your URL path to UTF escape codes and lost in translation when try to use it.
You galleries are there in the widget mark files, but iweb javascript can not read its own (LOL!) widget markup URL:
http://web.me.com/sabretado/sabretado/Weblog/Entries/2009/2/../../../../Weblog/E ntries/2009/2/19Monterey_Bay_Aquarium_and_Fisherman%E2%80%99s_Wharf_files/widget2markup.html
notice the %E2%80%99, that's UTF character.
Try to remove the apostrophe character from your page name and give them feedback: http://www.apple.com/feedback/iweb.html

Strange Comments issue I may have caused, any suggestions?

Hello, I may have caused a problem on my iWeb blog and hope that someone can offer suggestions.
What I did was this - my blog page name was Weblog. I changed it to Blog while making other changes to my website. I then published changes. However, when I saw that my changes were still showing in red (website was not updated), I published all and everything went to blue. My site was updated.
Problem - after doing the above, I noticed that all my entries on the website said "No Comments", even on entries that I know have comments. I went into iWeb and it says the same thing, but when I read the blog entry, the comments are there with the correct count. So I can see the comments in iWeb, but not on the website. Both iWeb and the website show "No Comments" in the blog page and in each entry.
I later read the Apple troubleshooting note (via a link in this forum) that because the comments are stored on their server, we should not change the folder name. However, I did not change the folder name, did I? Is that the same as changing the page name in iWeb?
Anyway, I first tested my site by posting a comment in a new entry and it works. However, if I add a comment to an entry that had previous comments, the old comments go away and only the new comment shows. So, I deleted the new comments and quit iWeb without saving. This got me back to where the old comments were still there.
I decided to change the page name back to Weblog and I republished the entire site, but that did not work. All the entries and blog page still say "No Comments" in both iWeb and on my site, even though the comments can be seen in iWeb.
If anyone has any suggestions for getting the website to show the counts, and for the website to show the counts and the comments, I would appreciate it. It was always working well before, I shouldn't have changed the page name, and then change it back, but I didn't think that would do any harm.
BTW, this was my first use and publishing on iWeb since updating to OS 10.5.7 late last week, so not sure if that had anything to do with it. I am also on a new iMac after migrating yesterday, hope that doesn't add to the issue.
Thanks in advance for your help. I have always been able to resolve issues with help from the users here, but I fear that I may have caused a doozy.

The last entry that I know had comments was the one about the World Baseball Classic on March 22, 2009. I looked at the source but don't see any of the comments showing, just something about the Comments widget. Thanks.

Santiago ~ The "Fix iWeb" section here has some suggestions:

Iweb pages have lots of issues on other browsers, stay away from iweb photo slide shows, and reflections on your iweb pages. if the people you are trying to show your site to, have firefox and e7 or e8, it gets kind of weird.
hope it helps

IWeb Render Issue in IE, help?

Hi there folks,
I'm having an issue with an iWeb page not being viewable in IE properly.
I have a HTML widget that is being used for a dropdown navigation menu, and in IE it is only rendering one of the dropdown menus as links instead of as it should. No other menus have this issue, and it renders fine on Firefox and Chrome.
You can see the site here.
Can someone who knows more about IE and HTML Widgets take a look at the source code and tell me what the issue is?
Thanks!

Drat. I wish I knew more about coding this stuff. As it is I had to cobble some of this stuff together from other HTML/CSS generators.
This is the code in the IE CSS file, any thoughts?
.inline-block {
    display: inline;
    vertical-align: baseline;
    margin-bottom:-2em;
    margin-top:2em;
    position:relative;
    top:-2em;
.vertical-align-middle-middlebox {
    display: block;
    height: auto;
    position: absolute;
    top: 50%;
.vertical-align-middle-innerbox {
    display: block;
    position: relative;
    top: -50%;
li.full-width {
    width: auto;
li div div.inline-block a img {
    text-indent: 0;
img {

IWeb video issues for Evo with Droid

Here is my setup. I dragged a bunch of MP4's into IPhoto to make an album. Then I opened IWeb and created an album page. I then dragged the newly made album from IPhoto into the well on the IWeb page. Then I set the poster frame on each video and put the videos in order. I did not check auto play. Next I published to a folder and then FTP'd that to my Godaddy account.
When I open the page with my desktop machine, I click the album, then a video and the video pops up with the control bar underneath. I hit play and all is beautiful. Now with my evo, I open the page, click the album, then a video. The poster frame of the video pops up but there is no control bar. There is no way to play the file. In the upper right is a small link that says download. When I click that, the video opens and plays fine.
My question is that I am afraid people won't see this little download link. Is it supposed to work this way or will I need to somehow add a disclaimer to let people know they need to click this in order to play? It is really small and I don't think people will see it.
Here is the link if there are any mobile viewers out there. http://www.texasmusicchannel.net/TMC_Beta/MMB/MMB.html
Also, is there anyway to get the nicer looking controlbar from QT 10?
Jeff

Have you tried a restart from device info, reset options? This will resolve many problems and is the first thing I would try. I have not heard of any problems with the YouTube app. I have tested the YouTube app on my own Pre Plus an it is working without any issues. Have you installed any 3rd party (homebrew) apps? Some times this can cause a problem with installed apps.

IWeb 08 - Issues - I can't Believe It..

Installed iWeb from the new iLife08 pack purchased at the Apple Store in Birmingham UK on to my G5 Tower (Pre Intel)
Once directed to the original domain document I noticed that all the pages in the margin was red. So I saves it. I then tried to publish it and the program bombed out.
Restarted the computer and tried again. same thing happened.
Checked for updates and updated it. Then tried again. The had the following issues
1) Lost all images from my previous webpages as well as galleries from photopages
2) Adjustimg images that have been dragged over from iPhoto, change with the adjustment and then revert to original state
3) Some images dragged over from iPhoto don't come with their original colours for some reason
I am still trying to repair the exensive damage this upgrade has done. 3hrs on and I am less than 10% through the rebuild.
I am gobsmacked that Apple has released a product like this which is clearly not right. What a sad day it is.

There is another thread that answers some of the Photo problems on this forum: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1078666&start=0&tstart=0I have just wasted 13 hours of my life on iWeb08 for nothing.
It converts pictures from a pro setting of AdobeRGB to sRGB and adjusts them adding contract and saturation.
Having rebuilt my website a number of times I have had to give up on iWeb. If it is going to reprofile images it should do so with out changing the contrast or the saturation.
Having spent ages adusting the colours on over 100 images to be correct on a corrected screen in photoshop. I am not about to re-adjust them to a poor amateur profile.
I purchased iLife08 for its google search widget function only and some minor improvements. I didn't expect it to ruin everything. Gutted. I wanted to revamp my existing website using the new iWeb and now can't.
I have just taken the step of ordering Freeway 4pro instead to build a webpage instead.
The iWeb on iLife is a disaster IMHO. Please Apple sort this out quickly before I have to read a whole new instruction manual.
Sorry to say, but for me iLife08 has been a total waste of money as thing stand.
If anyone else has any ideas please let me know.

Publish Comments Issue

Hello, I've initiated a shared review via Acrobat 9 Pro, running Windows 7. The review is saved to a network folder, with a link location sent out internally rather than via the email service. All of my reviewers are using Reader X, and all have enabled JavaScript within their preferences to allow for the review. However, the issue is that the "publish comments" button works for some users, yet not for others. The issue users are able to view the document, add feedback, and hit the publish button, but the comments are not received by me or any other participants. Strange that only some are having the issue since they are all using the same software versions. Are there additional settings I need to have them set up? Thanks!

I would double check that all users have the right permissions to the shared drive/folder. It appears some users have read & write access (the users that can publish comments), while others have read only access (the users that can add feedback, but nothing seems to come through). To clarify: this would likely be a Windows/network issue handled by the network administrator rather than a setting you would change in Acrobat.
Hope it helps

IWeb Publishing Issues

Don't get me wrong fellow Apple gurus....but why am I always having issues utililizing Apple goods. It would be a PERFECT WORLD if the whole world was all about the fruit......BUT THEY'RE NOT. The iWeb 3.0.3 update DID fix alot of previous issues but now there are different issues. It's fantastic that it's easy to use, GUI friendly and almost makes it easy to look like a professional when your a novice, BUT and I mean a BIG BUT.... if the rest of the world cannot interpret this design with ease, pro yet not look?.....then Apple, but most of all OURSELVES, look like a chumps. Your Site may look AWESOME on some browsers, yet why does it NOT look so savy on the most common such as Explorer or the Mac friendly browsers like Firefox???? I'm sure a lot more peeps are having issues and I would love to hear your SOLUTIONS and hopefully they can solve mine. The past few versions of the iWeb Software, I've been experiencing double image on my png files. I've also noticed that attributes I give my to my png files through iWeb such as a simple drop shadow, will display the drop shadow on the dimensions of the file itself. I hope I explained my dilemma depictively. If you have answers to my probs, please share as well as your own. I would almost worship you like a god! I'm NOT jumping ship on the Apple boat, but sometimes it can be quite frustrasting. You may get comfortability and ease with the "fruit" but sometimes on the tail end it comes with a cost.
PLEASE HELP!!!!!

Apart from using Preview there are a few apps around that will add interesting effects to images prior to adding them to a web page...

Iweb comments not working

I've posted student work to a blog page. Now I want students to be able to comment on each other's work, but when we click comment we get an error message. I did go in to each post and click on allow comments in the inspector, but that has not helped. Does anyone know how to fix this?

Do you have a domain name for your site? If so then do as the document says andI make sure you're running the latest update for iWeb, iWeb 2.0.4 . That should shake itself out. Also do a Publish All to MobileMe.
I don't have a blog page so don't know much more than what the Apple doc says.

IWeb Comments Missing... Can I get them back???

I created a memorial website that allowed people to leave comments. I am not exactly sure what happened buy iWeb updated the site and erased all the comments. Is there a way to get the comments back? Are they stored on a server or a file that I can download? I am actually surprised that any comment left on the site was not emailed to my MobileMe account so that I could view it.
Is there anything that can be done. This is a disaster.
Thanks for any help

Problems with iWeb's blog are a recurring theme on these forums: Lost all blog entries, all comments or unable to publish, etc. And whether iWeb's blog works well or not is of little concern to Apple as it's only a tiny part of their software repertoire. If you switch to a dedicated blogging platform you're likely to have a better experience. For a success story using a non-iWeb blog hosted on WordPress, see this old thread:
_To blog or not to blog_
As an alternative to setting up a basic hyperlink to your external blog, you can link to it from iWeb's navigation bar:
Create a blank internal page titled "Blog" (actually you can name the page whatever you want.) Then in that Blog page add an HTML Snippet with the following code:
<script type="text/javascript">
parent.window.location = "http://www.yourblogname.com"; // change this to your own URL
</script>
...Once published, clicking on "Blog" in the navbar will immediately redirect to your external Blog page. (Thanks to Cyclosaurus for the code).

IWeb Publishing issues MobileMe/iCloud/GoDaddy Updates

Hello -
I am hoping someone can provide me some insight.
I previously created a website via iWeb and had it hosted via my MobileMe account. With the new IOS and iCloud updates (and being that I can no longer host through MobileMe), I have transfered hosting over to GoDaddy. I logged into MobileMe and deleted the domain, and have ensured everything is correct on the GoDaddy side of things (DNS nameservers, deletion of the old site/file folders, etc.).
Here is the current issue:
I am receiving this message when attempting to pull up the site: "To view this page, you must log in to area “me.com” on melissafoerster.com:80."
I am confused and am not sure what else I need to do to publish my revised site. Thank you for your help.

Thank you for your support.
I have disabled the personal domain via MobileMe.
I have deleted the CNAME record via the domain provider.
And am currently waiting for the changes.
I know that this is not an iWeb issue or an iCloud issue. I will say though that because my MobileMe account expires in June and because the MobileMe settings have changed with the iCloud addition, I will no longer be able to publish there as of June and currently cannot make changes. Just being proactive and making updates to my site now, makes me have to publish to a different provider.
Thank you for your help.
