IWeb page size?

Why doesnt iweb allow me to change the size of my page. i have gone onto the inspector, clicked on 'layout' and typed in the figures in the 'content height' bar and pressed return but no changes. what has happened?

While we all have MacBooks in this forum not all of us use iWeb. There's a iWeb Support Community where everybody uses iWeb. You should also post this question there to increase your chances of getting an answer.

    You need to turn on "Show Layout"  Shift-Command-L  to see the changes.
    The quick way to lengthen a page is to drop a text box into the content area and drag downwards...

  • Iweb page size to avoid have to right left scrolling

    What do I do to prevent the left to right scrolling on some monitors so everyone can see the whole web page?

    Left to right scrolling only occurs when your site is too large. What is the width of your web pages? 
    Apple suggest around 980 pixels as the width which fits best in most screens and mobile devices.

  • IWeb maximum page size?

    Hi all,
    I'm just starting to experiment in iWeb and want to create a simple illustration portfolio site. I plan to have the main folio pages as long format pages, some 700 pixels wide X 20,000 pixels tall, so avoiding having thumbnail areas and keeping everything very simple.
    I can't seem to find a way of creating an iWeb page any bigger than 4000 pixels wide or tall.
    Is there any way of overcoming this or is it back to the steep learning curve of Dreamweaver CS3...?
    Any pointers would be great.
    Kind regards,
    YZ

    Why do people always mention Dreamweaver when it gets complicated? Because they are easily impressed with the sales talk?
    You can do the same in texteditor. But that is not the professional's choice.
    4000 pixels wide is about 2 24" monitors next to each other.
    To increase the default max height of an iWeb page, add a texbox and move it down beyond the 4000pixels perimeter.
    You can also publish the page and open it in a HTML Editor. You can spend $600 first if you think Dreamweaver will do it.
    Then go to the bottom of the page and find a line like this:
    <div style="height: 4000px; line-height: 4000px; " class="spacer"> </div>
    Change the numbers.
    BTW, there is no learning curve in Dreamweaver to open a file.

  • Looking for 'music player' widget to play songs dragged onto iWeb page

    Has anyone found a 'music player' widget that can be embedded into an iWeb page, and that can then load and play the songs that have been dragged onto that page?
    I have found several such widgets that can scan a URL for mp3 files, and I have successfully embedded each of those widgets into an iWeb page using the HTML Snippet, but none of them could find the mp3 files that I dragged onto the page, even though I supplied the widget with the URL for that page.

    Wyodor, I just wanted to let you know that I am having a lot of fun with the WimpyPlayer, and I like the skin you sent me. Thank you so much.
    I've been playing around with it. I had to reduce the height of the widget to fit on my webpage, but when I did, the text became too small to read, so instead, I went into the skin's jpeg and cut out the midsection of the playlist area. Then I had to readjust the playlist's number of lines displayed and its slider size to fit. I also changed the color scheme to match my webpage, and some of the Help tags. All in all, it looks great, and I am very happy with it.
    The one feature I miss from when I was using iWeb's built-in QuickTime player is the ability to have a photo (such as an album cover) displayed with the music. Do you happen to know of any music players that enable you to attach a photo with each track or album?

  • Page size in 08

  • IWeb "Original Size" download option? -- Not Even Close!

    Unless I'm doing something very wrong -- which I sincerely hope is the case -- then iWeb's photo prefs are guilty of seriously false advertising.
    I'm trying to create a "My Albums" page, such that the photos in the various albums it indexes can be downloaded FULL SIZE (in the same way that full res images can be downloaded from a MobileMe Gallery, provided the "Allow Downloading of Actual Size Images" option was selected when the Gallery was published).
    So in iWeb, I made sure to deselect the "Optimize Images on Import" General Prefs option, before dragging in Aperture Projects and Albums from the Media Browser's Photos tab to create the new iWeb albums, and then made sure to select "Original (Full Quality)" as the Photo Sharing option for each album page in the Inspector’s Photos tab.
    After publishing to my MobileMe account, I then visited the new site and did some test downloading, only to find that even with the above settings, the images which downloaded to my hard drive were still a much smaller pixel size than the originals. After a couple more tests, it appears the largest size download I can get from a picture in an iWeb photo album is 1280 pixels in either direction, whereas from a MobileMe Gallery I get the same pixel dimension as the original (so long as that aforementioned "Allow Downloading of Actual Size Images" option was selected).
    So what's the deal here? Does iWeb have yet another "Don't shrink-it-just-leave-it-alone" option vis-a-vis photos and their downloadability which I missed?
    Or does this "Original (Full Quality)" Photo Download Size option nevertheless impose a 1280-pixel upper limit? And if so, then WHY? I'm a big boy, I can decide how much of my allotted account space I want taken up with non-Optimized photos -- at least I SHOULD be able to decide that.
    Any pointers as to how to overcome this arbitrary 1280-pixel download limit would be much appreciated!
    Thanks,

    A website is for viewing stuff online.
    If you want people to be able to download them full size, put them in a folder, ZIP it and create a download link.
    You would be best to create a download page(s) for this as, if you put the download files on the photo page it would take forever to download in the browser.
    Thanks for the note -- though I'm going to respectfully disagree on the basic premise it presents: that a photo viewing site, and a photo sharing/downloading site, cannot co-exist.
    It's a topic I've gone into at length in a new Aperture thread, posted at
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1996786&tstart=0
    In the meantime, having discovered the cause of this mysterious 1280-pixel limitation (see next post, below), I was pleased to see that including "unoptimized" images in my iWeb Photo Pages, and allowing them to be downloaded at their full pixel size, did NOT in fact slow down the actual loading or displaying of those same pages -- at least not to any appreciable degree. Which makes sense, since what iWeb is presenting to the end user are its own thumbs and individual previews -- regardless of what size downloads I've enabled in my photo sharing settings for that page. So the individual images display just as quickly.
    The only thing that does take a little longer of course is when I initially publish or update my iWeb pages, and the larger, unoptimized images are uploaded to my MobileMe account. Likewise the individual downloading (not the online displaying, just the actual downloading if the user chooses to do so) of selected images -- since a 4MB jpg obviously takes a bit more time to copy to your hard drive than a smaller, 1MB version of the same image.
    But the difference is negligible, and like I say, it doesn't seem to affect the preview-size displaying of the images at all, only the full-size downloading. And since my particular "audience" (the people for whom I'm creating these pages) are typically each only downloading a small handful of individual pics selected from each group of images, that's not a problem.
    So the answer to my question:
    ...can iWeb photo pages be configured to allow downloading of images
    at their full, original pixel size?
    Is in fact: Yes, absolutely -- and with no apparent detriment to how well the images display online.
    Cheers,

  • Change the Default page size to 980px?

    Is there a way to set a default page size? In other words, if i want a website that is larger than 700px wide, do i have to change the size of the page and resize all of the content on every page i create? or can i make 980px the default and not have to resize all the content every time?

    I just looked at that. I haven't used albums to be honest but, iWeb will not allow the copying the album for whatever reason. I have been copying the photo's template for my photo pages.

  • Page size that I have to put my site to see the same on a computer supports both laptop and a desktop computer ?

    page size that I have to put my site to see the same on a computer supports both laptop and a desktop computer ?

    The viewport on a computer is adjustable by the user. iWeb sets the viewport width to the page width that you chose in the layout menu. No matter what the end user does, the page width is static and a reasonable compromise for the width of a web page that will be viewed on these devices is 980 to 1024 px.
    Safari on iOS devices cannot set the viewport. The viewport on mobile devices is fixed and its width depends on the orientation of the device. The iPhone in portrait mode has a viewport width of 320px. This means that the 980px wide iWeb built page will be squashed down to about one third of its desired size making it unreadable and difficult to navigate.
    Setting the viewport meta tag so that width equals the device width is a futile gesture since Safari on iOS will do that anyway. Its only useful if you add some initial scaling like...
    <meta name = "viewport" content="initial-scale=0.7">
    In the case of a 980px wide website, the initial scale is about 0.3 so any value higher than this will magnify the initial view of the site.
    Here's an example of a 980px wide page that has been given and initial scale of 0.7 which allows an iPhone user to see one column of a two column layout...

  • Hyperlink to iWeb Page not working

    I have created an iWeb page. I have a hyperlink to the page on a document. The hyperlink takes me to a mobile me error page ie "We can't find the page you requested. Please make sure the URL is spelled and capitalized correctly, and try again."
    Yet if I copy and paste the exact same url I have entered in the hyperlink filed into the address bar on Safari it goes to the right page no problems.
    Any ideas please?

    Is that the page you're trying to link to in the PDF document?
    I was able to place a hyperlink in an rtfd text file and and Word 2008 document to your web page that works. The link in the Word document takes about 5 to 7 seconds to get to Safari and open the Page. The rtfd document, created with Bean
    Bean, a great, free word processor, opens the page in Safari almost immediately.
    In Work I used the Insert ➙ Hyperlink menu option and entered the URL of you page and the text to use as the link. For the Bean document I clicked and dragged the link title at the top of your web page onto the Bean page and saved as a rtfd formatted file. If the page is saved as a plain text document the hyperlink is lost.
    Click to view full size
    If I do a Print ➙ PDF ➙ Save as PDF from Bean I get a working link in the resulting PDF file. But with Word the link does not work.

  • Slow Loading On iWeb Pages - Really in Need of Help! (Thanks!!) :o)

    Hi Everyone!
    I have been a lurker here, learning from reading other's posts. I am in serious need of help, as I have been struggling with this issue for over a week and I can't move forward to other things until I get it resolved...
    Here's what's up: I am creating a single-page website as a landing page for a product I offer. (These are very common now in product marketing). The page is here: http://www.howtogetamazingrelationships.com.
    The page that is there is about the 4th iteration of the page in the quest for a faster-loading page. Everytime I test it - no matter what I do - it ends up being about a 24 second load time. Here's a sample test for review: http://tools.pingdom.com/?url=howtogetamazingrelationships.com&treeview=0&column =objectID&order=1&type=0&save=true
    Here are the things I have done to try to speed this baby up:
    1. Took my youtube video off auto-play.
    2. Optimized the site using Web Site Maestro. 27% decrease in size; no load time difference.
    3. Took out shapes and graphics.
    4. Rebuilt the site on a blank template - now it is actually a little worse!
    5. Took out the website.js file - totally messed things up.
    6. Eliminated the navigation.
    Nothing is even showing the least bit of difference in speed...and it is driving me crazy.
    Here's the thing - I have also contacted Web Site Maestro's support for help, and they said that the problem was the size of the site and the length of the page. But here's the thing - I checked the load speed of a page that is about double my page size and length, and it loads in like 4 seconds: http://tools.pingdom.com/?url=http://www.wealthbeyondreason.com/page2.php&treevi ew=0&column=objectID&order=1&type=0&save=true
    Anyone have help/advice for me? I am so frustrated with this, as the iWeb is crazy-easy to build, but I can't have a simple one-page product page load that slow. No one is going to stay around for 24 seconds!
    I just am at the end up my rope and don't know anything else to do. I really don't want to rebuild the site again and still not see results, so any help would be hugely appreciated.
    Thanks so much in advance, and I hope you are all having a beautiful day -
    :o) Tara

    Okay, more info -
    I checked my site on a different web analyzer, and it does seem to be loading quickly - 15.66 seconds for a 56 k, but only 3.6 for T1. So that is good -
    One thing I noticed in the recommendations is that there are 6 scripts that are running, that can slow things down. I don't really know how to change that (I am pretty web-savvy, but far from a developer) Here's what they recommended on the page -
    Analysis and Recommendations from webanalyzer.com:
    TOTAL_OBJECTS - Caution. You have 18 total objects on this page. From 12 to 20 objects per page, the latency due to object overhead makes up from 75% to 80% of the delay of the average web page. See Figure II-3: Relative distribution of latency components showing that object overhead dominates web page latency in Website Optimization Secrets for more details. Consider reducing, eliminating, and combining external objects (graphics, CSS, JavaScript, iFrames and XHTML) to reduce the total number of objects, and thus separate HTTP requests. Consider using CSS sprites to help consolidate decorative images.
    TOTAL_IMAGES - Caution. You have a moderate amount of images on this page (10 ). Consider using fewer images on the site or try reusing the same image in multiple pages to take advantage of caching. Using CSS techniques such as colored backgrounds, borders, or spacing instead of graphic techniques can help reduce HTTP requests.
    TOTAL_SCRIPT - Warning! The total number of external script files on this page is 6 , consider reducing this to a more reasonable number. Combine, refactor, and minify to optimize your JavaScript files. Ideally you should have one (or even embed scripts for high-traffic pages) on your pages. Consider suturing JavaScript files together at the server to minimize HTTP requests. Placing external JavaScript files at the bottom of your BODY, and CSS files in the HEAD enables progressive display in XHTML web pages.
    HTML_SIZE - Caution. The total size of this HTML file is 60492 bytes, which is above 50K but below 100K. With 50K of images and multimedia this means that your page will load in about 20 seconds. Consider optimizing your HTML and eliminating unnecessary features. To give your users feedback, consider layering your page or using positioning to display useful content within the first two seconds.

  • Increasing Mobile Me Gallery on iWeb Page

    I am inserting a MobileMe Gallery into my Web Page. Unfortunately the size is to small 160 x 140.
    I want to at least double the size.
    I click on the outer edge and find the 6 small boxes that would normally allow increase/decrease
    and no change of cursor when over the box.
    I have looked in Inspector and the size cannot be altered.
    Is there any way to increase the size.
    Any assistance gratefully appreciated.

    That size if fixed by iWeb. However, you can embed the gallery itself into an iWeb page, using any of the modes, mosaic, grid, etc. as in this demo page: MobileMe Galleries and Quicktime Movies. But changing the size of the widget is a user function. You can send a feature request to Apple via http://www.apple.com/feedback/iweb.html.

  • Embed SlideShowPro for Lightroom in iWeb page?

    I would like to embed a SlideShowPro for Lightroom gallery in an iWeb page.
    Does anyone know if (and how) this would be possible?
    Previously, I have used Soundslides for making photo galleries - getting the embed code is extremely simple and embedding into an iWeb page takes seconds.
    SlideShowPro is proving to be far more difficult...
    Many thanks!

    From the description at [their site|http://slideshowpro.net/products/slideshowpro/slideshowproforlightroom] I learn that it publishes to a webpage.
    +You either export your slideshow to a folder on your hard drive then manually upload it to your web site+
    So you have a webpage you can display in the browser.
    If you want to display it inside a iWeb page, you have to use the HTML Snippet. Paste this line in it
    <iframe src="top.html" frameborder="0" width="100%" height="159" scrolling="no">></iframe>
    The src is the link to your slideshow page and the width and height depend on the size of that slideshowpage.

  • Merge TIFF file Resolution and page size differs. Clue ?!

    Hi All,
    I'm able to merge multiple TIFF files into one. But the resultant multi page TIFF file has different resolution and page size than from the source files. The width and height will get exchanged, also those texts are appear stretched.
    Noteably, it happens particularly with FAX pages of TIFF files, not with any others (like printed page TIFF files).
    can you help me ? Please write here your points.
    Thanks a lot,
    Vasu

    I see I attached the link to the wrong discussion. It should have been this one. Scroll down to the workaround posted by Tomas, from August 26th.
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1078666&start=0&tstart=0
    Anyway, yes, that's sort of what I mean. On my iWeb 06 website, I've scaled all my pictures down to 800px x 600px with a resolution of 72dpi for online viewing. The original photos, say 3000px x 2000px at 300dpi, are simply saved on my harddrive and not used in iWeb. The thought behind that was for faster loading times for people visiting my website. I'm pretty sure when I saved these reduced copies in Photoshop, the default color profile was sRGB. However, when I look at my site on my office (Windows) PC, the pictures appear dark, especially Black & White ones. But the color profile is a separate issue covered in Tomas' workaround.
    Now, maybe I'm operating on a false assumption, but I thought with this new download feature in iWeb and .Mac Web Gallery you would want to use your photos in full resolution so that when a visitor sees a picture they like, they can download the picture from your site AND could even print it if they so chose. Again, I'm assuming you would use your full resolution photos when you build your site and iWeb would do its own scaling for viewing on the web, but the full resolution photos would be somehow held in reserve for the moment when someone selects 'download'. I'm just concerned that using an unscaled, full resolution photos, would slow down the page building speed so much, that visitors would be too border to bother waiting for the pages to load. Thanks.

  • Copy iweb page into google apps

    Hi,
    Is it possible to publish a web page created in iweb into my website which is within google apps.
    thanks

    Determine the width and height in pixels of your iWeb page.
    Divide by 72 to get the width and height in inches,
    To get centimeters, multiply the number in inches by 2,54.
    Create a custom page size in Page setup in Pages (Or any application).
    Use the numbers in inches or in centimeters.
    Add a blank page in Pages.
    Choose the newly created pagesize.
    Set the zooming of Pages to 100%.
    You now have a identical page size.
    Then copy paste all objects from iWeb to Pages.
    I do the reverse. I create a webpage in Pages and then copy/paste everything to iWeb.
