IWeb Links Corrupted

Hyperlinks on only one of my web page have somehow become corrupted for the second time. I rebuilt the page and it lasted for a number of weeks now the problem has returned. The visible links are no longer active, however pieces of text appear on the page and are active links. Their relative position seem similar to the real links. None of the pieces appear in the iWeb editor. I very much need help with this. The page is
http://web.me.com/patandmel/UTexasPhysics_History/Main_BuildingPeriod.html
Thanks for any help.

Are you referring to the links in the navigation bar at the top of each page or in the body of the page?
In the body of the page I see a number links "More..." and a several more, a report, etc.
Have you tried clearing your browser's cache (CommandOptionE for Safari), reloading the page and trying them again?
Give a specific link that is not working for you.
Happy Holidays

  • Opening An External Application With Using An iWeb Link

    How do i open an application with an iWeb link so that when people click the link it opens an application on the computer? e.g. Link called play now and it opens Gameranger straight from the browser when the link is clicked.
    Thanks

    For security concerns I, for one, would not want a Web page to load or launch other applications based on links or downloads.
    Only a handful of files are considered "safe" and even then the end user can turn that feature "off".

  • IWeb link undesirable

    I send an iWeb link but some users receive a warning that site is undesirable and won't open the site.

    Not sure, but did this happen before you changed the blog name?
    Might be confusing it with Wikileaks, which might be a problem.
    Works fine for me as it is, but some peoples preferences might be looking at it as objectionable.
    Other than that, not sure.
    Nice site by the way.

  • IWeb link opening in a external (new) browser window.

    Dear members:
    After making several unsuccessful attempts to find this information I decided to post a questions here to see if anyone has the answer.
    I have created two web site with several web pages in iWeb but haven't been able to add links to a page that open not in that same page but to open in an extra (external) browser window. Is there a way to make a link open in a different browser window than the one that has the page with the link ?
    Another question I have refers to iWeb's display of some images. For my web sites I chose one of the templates offered with the program. In one of the pages there are small portions of text followed by a square image next to it. Some of the images in iWeb work as placeholders that are replaced by the final images once they are dragged and dropped over them. However, this small images following the text don't behave like that. They simply aren't replaced. I tried to "overlay" the final images over the template ones thinking that once the site was published they would be replaced. Actually, after posting the web site I noticed that when the pages load the template images show up first and them the ones I placed over them beginning to cover them.
    Why is this happening and how can I solve this problem ?
    Thank you in advance for your help.
    Best regards,

    Dear varkgirl:
    Thank you very much for your help and valuable suggestion.
    I've tried your suggestion but ran into some problems. The links I am trying to open in another window are actually PDF files that the viewer can download from my website.
    Since I was having problems I decided to try something else. After publishing the website to my desktop I then opened the pages where the links are in Dreamweaver. The layout view is great and displayed the image just the way it appears on the browser's window. I first selected the "link button" to the file and then in the inspector windows (bottom of the page) I chose under target the "_blank" option. This tells the software that the linked page or file is to be opened in a new blank browser window. I then saved the page (re-saved it over the existing file) to incorporate the changes. After this I proceeded to navigate through the website and everything works great.
    Thank you for your help and suggestions. I just thought I would post this here in case it may be of help to you as well as others.

  • IWeb Link to Web gallery

    Hi everyone, my question is, is there a way to create a web gallery link in the link header of iWeb? I find this confusing that web gallery and iWeb don't have an option to link up. The gallery in iWeb is good, but don't have the same features that web gallery does. Since it is all hosted in the same place, it should be easy. I have HTML links in my blog now for it, but it isn't global. I have to insert an HTML link in each post. Any help would be great.
    Thanks.
    Jim

    well i suppose the way it's meant to be done is to make a new blank page (calling it web gallery or whatever), press web widget and put in your web gallery albums one by one. each album has a little mini slideshow going on (and skims) and clicking on that takes you to the web gallery album proper. the problem (as far as i'm concerned) is that by making the web widgets you are making your own web gallery index page which is not as nice as the actual web gallery index page which you are bypassing.
    or you could make a blank page (again calling it web gallery or whatever), leave it blank, publish it, and then edit the code so that it diverts straight to your web gallery index page. i don't know how to write code so i just copied the code on the index page and changed the destination to the web gallery address rather than the welcome page. this seems to work well. and if you know what you're doing i suppose to could also get the web gallery to open in another browser window.
    or you could make a blank page (again calling it web gallery or whatever), and insert an html widget with code to divert to the web gallery. the difficulty with this is then when someone clicks on web gallery (or whatever you have called it) in the navigation menu, you then see the blank page for a fraction of a second.
    anyway, i don't really know what i'm doing....i'm just trying stuff out!

  • IWeb link problems

    Hello and thank you to anyone who is taking the time to read this and attempts to help me correct my problem.
    Recently, my dad enlisted me to assist him in creating a website for his company. With iWeb, I was able to make a decent rough draft and then began expanding on it. In the original draft (I had about five different pages, and used the navigation link that iweb uses to travel from page to page) everything worked fine. However, when I began expanding upon the site and adding my own links (pictures that you could click upon to travel to other pages and larger images) some of them work, while others don't. I have tried replacing the pictures and redoing the links, but only one thing has somewhat worked.
    I put the setting so the layout would be shown, and then some gray lines appeared (don't know what else to call them) and it seemed if I placed my pictures inside these lines, then the links would suddenly work.
    However, in some cases the pictures are in these lines and yet some still do not work. If anyone can help, it would be greatly appreciated.
    The link to the website is
    www.rcqc.com
    An example of the "line" phenomena is on the Custom Carpentry page, found by clicking these links: "Photo Gallery" then "Custom Carpentry"
    On this page, the top picture do not seem to work, yet the bottom four do--the bottom six are within the "gray lines."

    your first three image is inside nav_layer, you need to move them out of nav_layer.
    simple thing to do is to start the page over, leave nav bar enabled and enable view layout; these let you see where everything is.

  • IWeb 08 Corrupts old web sites

    Just another warning to you folks out there. iWeb corrupts web sites big time. Here's my steps:
    1. I have a web site that was (notice I said WAS) 177 MB. I opened it with iWeb 08 and clicked upgrade. Saved it.
    2. I then opened it and flipped through the various pages and it was o.k.
    Modified the size of an image at the top of my main BLOG page. Hit save again.
    3. Reloaded the site, and flipped through the pages and two of them had MISSING FILES (images related to the theme (yes, it was an Apple theme), missing graphics I had added to the page, etc.)
    I can easily reproduce this by restoring my backup or using another site file, so it is definitely a HIGH FREQUENCY problem.
    Hope this helps you all in the trenches! Hope all addresses this REALLY SOON!

    for movies I now upload my movies to google video on private setting, I then embed the code in the same way you would embed a google map or You Tube clip.
    It seems to work better than importing the video into iweb

  • IWeb link to folder and enclosed files

    I have several student projects that they published to a folder using iWeb, and saved to folders using other HTML editors(BBEdit, NVu). These are now on my local drive. What I want to do is to make a link from my iWeb page to their work. I need to know what directory to upload these folders to, and then what the link would be. I've tried several .Mac folders, but nothing seems to work.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    http://web.mac.com/penobscotriver/iWeb/Site/Welcome.html
    MacBook Pro   Mac OS X (10.4.9)  

    More explanations:
    If the folder were made by "publishing" from iWeb the "root" (upper level) also includes an index.html file.
    That index.html is merely a page refresh to the "real" .html file and that page loads it. If you open it with a plain text editor you'll see the simple code.
    You appear to be a teacher (instructor) so I'm sure you remember the "index card" trick for organizing.
    In the "old days" we would pin index cards onto a board and then connect them with different color strings so we had a visual of the structure. When you moved a card you also needed to detach the string and then re-attach it.
    Properly organized the "folders" would reside in your iDisk Sites folder and the "links" (the string) would attach to a page (or pages) stored in the iDisk/Web/Sites/iWeb/foldername
    You can then use some simple URL's (posted above) to aid in navigation.
    Did you know that you can "drag" a URL from a browser window address bar into iWeb?
    Takes work and patience. Trial and error. And these Discussions for help.

  • Iweb linking to web gallery

    is tehre a way to link to a web gallery and not have the MY GALLERY button show up. I only want the link to open one album and not allow access to all my albums.

    redcloud:
    No. You could password protect the other web galleries so if a viewer went into the main gallery they would not go any further. Otherwise create an iWeb album page from the album in iPhoto used to create the gallery like I did in this Album and Gallery Test page. There's an album and iPhoto web gallery on the page.

  • Can I Set Up an iWeb Link To Play Audio?

    I'd like to be able to set up a hyperlink on my web site using iWeb so that a viewer clicking this link will be able to hear an extended narration (just audio not video). Can I do that?
    Also, rather than move some photos from my desktop into iPhoto and then into iWeb as I construct my site, can I just drag the photos directly into iWeb?
    Dave

    There are several ways to add audio to a web page.
    1 - just drag the audio file onto the page and place where you want it. Ignore the "Drag photo here" area as it doesn't show unless you put a photo in it.
    2 - upload the audio track to the server and link to it there with a flash player or HTML5 audio player. This demo page has some examples of flash players: Audio Players. Other mehtods are demonstrated in this test page: More Audio
    3 - Roddy's iWeb for Musicians site has the more comprehensive tutorials on audio in iWeb. Go to his page HTML5 Players and Music Players.
    Yes you can just drag a photo onto an iWeb page from the Finder, resize and position it where you'd like. Remember that some themes add a frame to photos added that way and if you want to remove the frame or change it use the Inspector/Graphic pane to change or remove it:

  • Using iWeb, links to external sites revert to the apple site.

    I have been wrestling with this for 2 weeks.  Even the apple help desk can not sort this out and I have tried all suggestions from the apple support communities so far.  When I try to link my web site to LinkedIn, it reverts to apple.live web site.  I am going out of my mind trying to fix this.  Does anyone have the solution??
    Tony

    Delete the link and try the following:
    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.
    go to your Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iWeb folder and delete its contents.
    Click to view full size
    launch iWeb and try again.
    NOTE: In Lion and Mountain Lion the Home()/Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.

  • IWeb & Link Color

    My default link color appears as red. This applies to any "page links" that show at the top of the page, as well as internal links like links that I put in my blog entries.
    Is there a way to change the default link color? It seems like it is a very basic necessity to a website to have link colors that actually correspond to the website.
    Thanks!

    So there is a way to access the source code of what I build in iWeb? Not that it is fun to have to change things manually, but if that is a solution then I'll take it.
    iweb navbar css is rendered by javascript widget and the code is in the page source.
    you can change it if you like, but it isn't practical because you have to post edit every time you publish your site.
    I did run a forum search before posting this, but oddly enough what I found I could only view the original post and no replies - so it didn't do me too much good.
    the link in my previous post was to lay out all the possible method, you pick your poison and acquire the needed knowledge, except for method #4.
    Sad that Apple would leave out something as basic as changing some generic website preferences like link color. That makes me a bit wary about actually using iWeb for large-scale projects :-\
    give them feedback: http://www.apple.com/feedback/iweb.html
    that said, navbar is the simplest of iweb widgets; just about everything in it can be changed with ajax and javascript, see this thread:

  • Potential solution to iWeb 08 corrupting iWeb 06 files

    I too have been bitten by the problem of having photo albums and other content vanish from my newly converted iWeb 2.0 files. My symptoms were that after each successive save of the converted domain file, the file would lose more and more content (and become progressively smaller). But as soon as the second save I would have photo albums with blank pages, etc.
    After reading this post:
    http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=5100025#5100025
    which referred to a fix that involved opening the domain package and manually deleting all the .plist files, it occurred to me that there might be a way to get iWeb to do this for us.
    What I tried - and what seems to have worked through multiple edit / save sessions whereas previously on the second save I would see corruption - was to let iWeb 2.0 update my old iWeb 1.0 domain file, but before changing any content and more importantly before performing any saves on my own, immediately to go through each page (main, blog entries, archive and all other pages) and use the "Change Theme" capability to change the theme for that page twice in succession: once to a new theme (usually just picked at random) followed by a change back to the original theme.
    After all pages were "re-themed," so to speak, I saved the domain content.
    For me this appears to have created an iWeb 2.0 happy file that I can open, edit and save so far many times without corruption as before.
    My rationale for trying this was that if iWeb 2.0 does do things differently, and the old settings in the .plist files in the domain package were somehow involved, then by forcing a theme change at least once that perhaps would force iWeb to fix the content so that it was internally consistent. I'm assuming that the first theme change actually cleans things up; the second one just brings it back to the way I wanted it to appear.
    In doing this I have only seen one minor glitch: The Main page for the "Gazette" theme has some strange colored backgrounding on the right and left text panels, but I can live with that for the moment. It's better than recreating my site from scratch.
    -- Bob

    i havent tried that - but if you are using a third-party theme, you will have to redo it.
    what i also suggest doing is, that you backup your current domain file along with iweb 06!

  • Restore iWeb link to .Mac?

    Hi there,
    I have lost my system data (Not apple's fault) and had to re-install my OS.
    Now I have to re-connect my iWeb with an existing iWeb site on .Mac.
    How do I do that if I don't have a backup? My files are on idisk but how to get 'm back in iweb?
    Thanks
    R.

    Hey guys, thanks for this! Awesome feedback. I'm travelling right now so I won't be able to give this a try till end of the week. I'll be back with the feedback.
    I'm i'm lucky I might actually have that file still somewhere out there.
    However fixing the issue is most important, it's a bit odd that although .mac and most (or all?) of it's services are mirrored thru iDisk that this, where one fiddles with files a lot, isn't a part of that.
    Well, I won't complain, let's just say that iWeb is pretty slick if you want to have something up and running quickly but that we'll probably have to wait til 2.0 for more advanced stuff.
    Later!
    PS My system lost it's integrity through bad memory... things got so bad that it even corrupted the CONTENT of the backup files (Using Apple Backup) while nothing indicated that during the backup process itself. Just be warned... I have the feeling that 10.4.4 is a LOT more picky about hardware! I used 'memtest' (google for it) to identify a faulty 1Gb mem module.

  • Iweb links won't work for some people

    Hi! I have recently made a website using iweb and most people have no troubles viewing all my pages (even if they appear slightly different than I designed them). I have gotten emails from a few people, however, saying they can't get to some of my pages.
    My website is www.ccforkids.com and the links that are causing troubles are the ones at the bottom of the slings page (sizing, instructions, etc.) there might be others, but these are the ones I have recieved emails about.
    Thanks for any help!
    iMac G5   Mac OS X (10.3.9)  

    If other people are willing to try a different browser, that seems to be the best solution, yes. Without knowing exactly what isn't working for them, I wouldn't like to say there's nothing else you can do.
    For example I find that IE for Mac (no longer supported by MS) doesn't show Apple's comments on blogs, so at the moment I'm using both those comments and iComment. I've also turned off the local iDisk, since that was making the running of both systems unworkable.
