IWeb, HTML Snippet, and MySQL via GoDaddy (db already built)

I have a site (zigcodes.info) that is hosted by GoDaddy. I built the site using iWeb. No complaints there. I have a MySQL database and table built to store codes added by users. There is also one called "hit list" on another page, but I haven't finished coding it. I need to solve this problem before I can finish that page. So far, I've successfully linked my submit forms to the database. When a user adds a code, it does indeed populate into the database (hooray for small miracles).
Of course, doing this dumps the user onto a blank white page, but I think I can fix that with a redirect at the end of the php file used by the form. My problem comes in when I try to display the codes in the database on my page. I know how to query the db using SELECT * FROM, but I can't figure out what to do with the data after that.
I'm having a heck of a time getting the HTML Snippet widget correct in iWeb. I've seen suggestions that are all over the place, but can't seem to get any to work. I'm told that <iframe> may be a viable solution, but I am at a loss as to how. Honestly, my site is very simple and I don't need fancy functionality. All I need is a list, in table form would be nice but really not necessary, of the 30 names/codes most recently added to the db by users of my site. I can get the echo command to print headers for my data, but not the data itself.
Will <iframe> work, and if so, how? If not, what's my best bet? Should I go with a table in the HTML Snippet widget, with tags like <? echo "$code"; ?> inserted into my<td></td> content? Or, would it be best to use the <script src="activecodes.php"></script> solution with an external php file? Or am I way off on all of these? I do know that iWeb won't do it for me with it's own magic, but it seems like there should still be a way to add code into the HTML Snippet widget and display the db data on the iWeb designed page. Help?

Yeah, the code you suggested isn't live now because I always remove changes to my code that affect no change. It makes for a cleaner build later. Here are some variations of your sugestion that I tried:
<div align="center"><form name="newcodes" action="newcode.php" method="post">
<input type="text" name="newcode"/>
<br />
<input type="submit" value="Add it!" />
<input type="hidden" name="good_url" value="http://www.zigcodes.info/" />
</form>
</div>
AND
<div align="center"><form name="newcodes" action="newcode.php" method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="good_url" value="http://www.zigcodes.info/" />
<input type="text" name="newcode"/>
<br />
<input type="submit" value="Add it!" />
</form>
</div>
AND
<div align="center"><form name="newcodes" action="newcode.php" method="post">
<input type="text" name="newcode"/>
<input type="hidden" name="good_url" value="http://www.zigcodes.info/" />
<br />
<input type="submit" value="Add it!" />
</form>
</div>
I even tried this because I saw other people suggesting it in similar forums:
<div align="center"><form name="newcodes" action="newcode.php" method="post">
<input type="text" name="newcode"/>
<br />
<input type="submit" value="Add it!" />
<input type="hidden" name="redirect" value="http://www.zigcodes.info/" />
</form>
</div>
All of the above produce the exact same, unwanted result: a blank white screen with the URL of my .php file (the one that handles the form post).

Having trouble with html snippets and movies in iweb 09

Hi I have built a site iweb2.0.4 and recently moved it onto my new machine with iweb 09 on. Basically I have been putting in videos that I have exported for web out of Quicktime. In the past I have simply added an html snippet code like this in <iframe src="http://evileducation.org/stammuraifinalcomp/ReadMe.html" style="width: 340px; height: 285px"; scrolling="no" controller="true" frameborder="0"></iframe>
I edit the ReadMe.html based on a tutorial I saw and it loads the movie after pressing the "Click to play" button. Now in 09 when I put the code in to the snippet it just shows a Quicktime symbol with a question mark. if you check the link below you can see the videos with the best I have managed to do so far which is get the new movies on but they both autoplay (I have linked in this instance to the 4kb .mov in each folder rather than the readme.html.). I don't want to just drag a video in I would like the options to view on phone or on computer etc and not for them to autoplay. Is there a new/ different way to do this now. Surely it shouldn't be this hard to get the export for web in Quicktime and iWeb to work together? The frustrating thing is if you check the link below the old movies work fine still it's just the 2 new ones. Soz for the long one!

Iweb html snippet

Hi, since I have updated to ilife 09 my html snippet and Youtube will not show on my site.
Use to work fine before!! Any hint?? Thanks

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. You might have to delete that widget and recreate it. What's the URL of your site so we can examine the page first hand?

Youtube Video in iWeb "html Snippet" is Blank?

The html Snippet Widget shows an unhappy face icon when I publish the site to the internet in preview form. In iWeb itself the video shows up as a blank box on my site when I load the "embed" text from the Youtube video into the black box window and hit "apply".
Here is the Youtube Embed text if it helps to analyze it. <iframe width="560" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/GdC9WLhUum0?rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
I can successfully load the Youtube Widget but I dislike the 4 x 3 format with excessively large top/bottom black bands and control bar. I prefer the 16 x 9 format of the html Snippet, but it needs to function.
Help please.
Dan

Okay, it is simple. The video will not work because there are mistakes in the code that you have posted - if the code is incorrect then it won't work.
Where you have src="//www.youtube.com/embed, the code should in fact be as follows:
src="http://www.youtube.com/embed
I have just opened iWeb on my Mac and copied and pasted the code, but then changing it to http:// and the video works perfectly - comes up with someone in a canoe and is entitled River Discipline.

IWeb HTML snippet doesn't work hosted outside MobileMe

Hi
I created a site with iWeb and used to HTML snippets.
When I publish the site on MobileMe all works fine
When I publish the site with my Dutch Web hosting company, those HTML components won't work.
The vistor to the page finds a error message instead of the HTML widget:
Not Found
The requested URL /test/Welkom_files/widget3_markup.html was not found on this server.
Apache/2.0.52 (Red Hat) Server at www.knipdoor.nl Port 80
Does anyone know what's wrong and how to solve the issue?
Look forward
Henk, NL

Does anyone know what's wrong and how to solve the issue?
It's clearly written :
The requested URL /test/Welkom_files/widget3_markup.html was not found on this server.
So go to your server and see if it's really missing.
And if you added/deleted/changed HTML Snippets, iWeb creates new widget-markup files with new sequence numbers. When you load the webpage, some widget-markup files might not be present anymore because of these changes.
Clear the cache of the browser and reload the webpage.

IWeb HTML Snippet--Facebook Badge

I've had a Facebook HTML Snippet on my iWeb home page for over a year and suddenly this week, it quit working. I just see the outline box with a question mark in the middle now. I tried deleting the snippet an republishing it several times. I've repasted the HTML code from Facebook several times into the box. When I click on APPLY, it just doesn't work anymore. I've tried several of the Facebook snippets, and none of them work either. Wonder what's changed?

IWeb HTML Snippet NOT WORKING.

Hello!
Whenever I open iWeb and try to insert HTML Snippet, the proper HTML rectangle that has < H T M L > and a map of the world in the background appears, just like that. No edit box has appeared. When I double click it, a blue outline appears, but still no edit box to insert the HTML code into.
I've tried removing com.apple.iWeb.plist and also com.apple.iapp.plist or something along those lines, and also removing the iWeb folder from Caches, and nothing has worked.
I'm using iWeb 2.0.4, obviously.

Did you purchase iLife 09 in your attempt to upgrade to iWeb 3? If not that's why you couldn't run any of the iWeb 3 updaters. You have to have iWeb 3.0 installed from the iLife disk installed.
What was unsuccessful about trying to reinstall iWeb 2? Did you delete all receipts with iWeb in the file name located in the HD/Library/Receipts folder before reinstalling iWeb? If no, delete them and the application and reinstall.

HTML Snippet and Kryogenix SortTable

Kryogenix has a great piece of Javascript code that will sort tables on screen by clicking the column heading. You can see it here.
http://kryogenix.org/code/browser/sorttable/
Does anyone know how to actually use that JavaScript code in iWeb using the 'HTML Snippet' feature?

It's spelled out for you on the page you linked to.
Not very difficult at all if you take the time to read the page.
I was hoping I could avoid that!
Honestly? It's naive to think that you can receive a custom feature without obtaining the knowledge to implement it. Somethings require a little bit of effort on the users' end. This is one of those things.
If you don't want to learn code then simply create page 1 sorted 1 way and page 2 sorted the other way then link the head of page 1 to page 2 to create a "fake" sortable table similar to the NBA example you originally linked to. The NBA example is using MySQL and sorts the column based on a URL parameter to change the order by parameter in MySQL.
I thought you were going the jQuery route anyway...

IWeb html snippet to stay permenantly in place

In iWeb how can you make an html snippet stay permenantly on the bottom right of any page?

Just want to make sure I understand. Is this what you are saying?
<script type="text/javascript">
top.location.href = "http://MYEXTERNALBLOG/"; </script>
I figure I must be missing something? Tried the above and still no luck with it opening in a new window...

HTML Snippets and Opening in New Window?

Hello,
New to iWeb and this forum. Have been developing a site and I have been using an html snippet on one page. I would like to have that page open in a new window, therefore, I would like the link to that page to open the window. I know about the "check box" when creating links that makes this happen. However, as this is in the navigational menu on the top of the page, there isn't an option for this in iWeb.
Can you help please? Thanks in advance.

Koeklin,
Thanks for the reply. I was trying to do this a different way, and I'm sorry if I haven't expressed myself clearly.
I have been using Blogspot for a company blog. I wanted to incorporate this blog into my iweb site. However, I don't want to lose what I have already done in Blogspot (can this easily be transferred? I don't know).
So what I was doing was this...
I have on my site a page labeled "blog." When this link is clicked, I show, via html snippet, the blog from Blogspot, but because of how the snippet shows on my page, it does not show the menu at the top of the Blogspot page (which is what I would like). I'm trying to make the blogspot blog appear to be an original part of my site, even though it isn't. I was hoping to have this blog page open in a new window with the Blogspot blog present on my blog page. I'm pretty sure everyone is confused by now...
Or, maybe to make things easier, is there a way to incorporate a "back" button on this page to go back to the site?
I'm sorry if this is confusing....

Html snippets and unknown error when publishing - the mystery deepens

Can anyone make sense of this?
I have been using iWeb for a year or so. Personal site with added extra goodies like widgets using iweb more.
Upgraded to iWeb 08 with a few formatting problems (which I chose to ignore for now) - after version 2.01 I replaced my iweb more extras with the new html snippet thingy and everything was fine - although I still didn't get around to sorting the formatting issues.
Now we are at 2.02 I decided to use one of the new themes and so I created a new page using golden rod and merrily cut and paste from the existing page. I was loathe to delete the old page until I knew the new one was fine - my plan was then to do a bit of page renaming and voila a newly themed home page. Anyway what I got was;
Unknown error - when the new page was being created.
Ok - deleted the offending page - site now publishes fine -so we know this isn't .mac.
Now I decided to build the new page a bit at a time to see what was causing the problem.
It turns out to be a html snippet (which works fine on my home page still);
div style="text-align:center"
a href="http://outcampaign.org/"
img border="0" alt="image" width="143" src="http://pharyngula.org/images/scarlet_A.png" height="122"/
/a
(I have broken the tags by removing the 's so you can see the text itself)
When I added this to an HTML snippet the unknown error returned.
Now I have deleted it and I still get the unknown error for that page.
So this is definitely an iWeb problem and not a .mac problem.
Any ideas?
Home page;
http://web.mac.com/theedonfamily/Site/Home.html

why do you use the snippet to actually add the thing? you can just place the image directly into iweb and then activate it as a link. (there are some errors in the script as well!)
if you want to use the snippet way, then id just change the code a bit:
+⊗p style="text-align: center;"⊗+
+⊗a href="http://outcampaign.org/"⊗+
+⊗img style="border: none;" alt="Image" width="143" src="http://pharyngula.org/images/scarlet_A.png" height="122" /⊗+
⊗/a⊗
⊗/p⊗
replace every ⊗ with either < or >.

IWeb HTML Snippet not working!Help!

I am new to building a website but understand where to copy and paste the HTML code to and from. However, everything I have tried will not work in the HTML Snippet. I have spent 6 hours trying to find a way to get it to work. Suggestions???

Anything from Youtube, Vimeo and other sites. Below is one of the Youtube embedded codes.
<iframe width="420" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/kCZqyWw2--M?rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
This is the "old" code for the below video.
<object width="420" height="315"><param name="movie" value="//www.youtube.com/v/kCZqyWw2--M?version=3&hl=en_US&rel=0"></para m><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="//www.youtube.com/v/kCZqyWw2--M?version=3&hl=en_US&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="420" height="315" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object>
Neither of these will work. The "old" code will make my html box turn white but nothing else happens.
Any suggestions?
