IWeb Publishing weird boxes

When I publish my iweb site, I am getting weird boxes on each page. They do not show up in iWeb, but do show up after published on Firefox, Safari, and IE. I have tried publishing my iweb site with both the built in FTP client and Cyberduck and have the same issue with both. The issue is on all the pages, but pictures mask it on some. Please take a look at my site.

Any thoughts?

Do a Command A in iWeb to Show All. Drag your objects aside to see what's lying underneath.
Also note that almost all your text has been converted to an image due to adding the drop shadow. This means that the SEO spiders cannot crawl and index this text.
Use web-safe fonts and turn on the Text Imaging Indicator in iWeb preferences.

.mac and iWeb Publishing

Recently I subscribed a .mac trial account because I wanted to try iWeb and iPhoto 6 Photocasting.
When I publish a webpage from iWeb to .Mac, it'll pop up the login window, asking me to login. I clicked the login button and i typed my .mac account information. I tried to publish again and the same thing happens (.Mac account said my password is valid)
When I select an album and share by photocasting in iPhoto, it says I haven't set up my account (again, I input info. in my .mac settings already).
What's going on? Trial account won't work with iLife?
But I can use my iDisk... that's so weird...
What's wrong?

(I posted this in both iWeb, iPhoto and .Mac sections. Posted on .Mac section about 2 weeks ago)

This is strange. During the slow run of the iWeb publish, I pulled up network tools and did a traceroute. It very slowly did its thing and came up with the a route to idisk.mac.com. Shortly thereafter, iWeb suddenly started uploading at a reasonable (for iWeb) speed. Any idea if this could be related to my running of traceroute?

Weird box in IE PC

When Rick Vandivier's site is displayed on a PC in Internet Explorer, a weird box appears out of nowhere that doesn't connect with anything I can find on the design page in iWeb. How can I get this to display properly?
You can see the issue by downloading the files: "Rick Bad" and Rick Correct" at http://homepage.mac.com/allanrockart/Sharing/FileSharing18.html
Please help.

Evidently no one else does this. Any ideas at all by anyone as to what I can try next?

HT4597 what will be the new alternatives for iWeb publishing, Idisk & photo gallery ?

what will be the new alternatives for iWeb publishing, Idisk & photo gallery ?

Thanks for the reply that there will be 3rd party support.
One of the main reasons why I went from PC to Mac was because of all these cool features.
Am dissapointed to see them leave. ( Iweb, Photogallery, Idisk... )

Weird box where apostrophe should be!

In IE, I've got this weird box where the apostrophe should
be.
For example, I'm seeing it in this page, in the second
paragraph, in the word "haven't".
http://www.awdsf.com/courseware/html/html2_images.htm
Originally the pages were created in MS word and saved as a
web page. Cleaning up word HTML doesn't seem to help my problem.
Any Ideas?

It's probably a curly quote pasted in from Word. Please
replace with the
proper HTML entities, e.g.,
<p>Haven’t you seen him?</p>

IWeb published old photo names... will not update

I am having a problem with the photo pages. When I first built a photo page I used images whose file names were too long. When iWeb published the files the names became corrupted and would not display.
I can't get iWeb to forget the original file names...
I have re-named, deleted, re-imported, changes the file size, and made all the changes I can think of to get the photos to be seen as new images. No luck.
Every time iWeb publishes the site it uses the "historic" names for the files.
Any ideas? I'm about to delete the entire site and start over... but I would rather not do it that way. Who knows, that might not even work!
Thanks!

I've also had that problem - real headache
Here's a fix (in princple) :
Within iWeb delete the photos you don't want from the page.
Save "command-s"
Quit iWeb
Before re-opening iWeb go and check the 'Domain' 'package' - this is where iWeb stocks the ressources and assets for you as 'user' :
user/library/application support/iWeb/Domain
Click right to show hidden package contents (I use French Tiger so don't know if that's the right command name but you get what I mean).
Here you'll see all the files/images etc you have used in any of your sites/pages.
In principal when you save in iWeb the Domain gets updated and should throw out any images you deleted from your iWeb page - so those 'old' files should no longer exist.
I think what you may have been doing is deleting images from the page and NOT SAVING that change. In principal Publishing to a folder or .Mac constitues a 'save' but I'm not convinced that the two have the same effect on the Domain.
I actually binned directly from the Domain once but I've read elsewhere that tampering there might cause probs.
Hope that gives you some insight.

IWeb publishes updates but does not upload in the FTP

HELP!
I have a 'tried-tested-true' website that's been on the internet for 10 years. It's been updated over the years but needed much more as of today.
The updates perfectly publish within iWeb [3.0.4]. The FTP uploads the site, but when I check it on the internet [Safari 6.2.3], the former version appears.
I proceeded to troubleshoot by renaming the website and re-mounting the pages. Also, renaming the pages, but after several attempts of uploading each newer version, all efforts were to no avail. It has taken me a full day without results. That is, the original website remains on the internet, which is very outdated.
I have run out of troubleshooting ideas. All of my other websites have not had this problem. There was an issue this week with the ISP Domain Host services not connecting my site. I contacted them, but have had no response. However, I thought I would try connecting again today in case they sorted out their connectivity issues. I am able to connect to their server. I have good reason to believe the FTP is uploading the updated directory files, but for some reason when it comes to viewing the site on the internet, au contraire.
Not sure if this is an iWeb problem or my ISP domain hosting services having issues with connectivity. Whatever, it is very perplexing to me as to what to do next after the extensive amount of time I have taken troubleshooting.
I repeat myself when I say, 'HELP!'

Okay, I understand what you are referencing. I am publishing my websites to the path of 'Users'-Documents-Website Documents.
Below is a screen shot of the folder my Websites are located. Is this what you are referencing? It is Site 2 that is having issues with uploading to the domain host server of my ISP. All the other sites have been uploaded successively.
I use FileZilla as my FTP server and it has been excellent. I have tried CyberDuck, et al. FZ works perfectly well indicating all that one needs to know while uploading. If my other websites were causing the same issues, then it would mean FTP issues.
However, I believe I am on the same track you are referencing with regards to my published website is in the appropriate location on my HD. I stand to be corrected.
I believe by my contacting the Forum and reading your information that I am following protocol as I have always done with my 4 websites that upload properly. As I continue the discussion, it is becoming evident the issue is with the Domain Host server, which is not a problem to post on this Forum.
However, I posted my issue just in case it was an iWeb issue or my not following protocol correctly to publish a website. From what I am gleaning with your information, I am following protocol. Repeating myself when I say it appears to be the aforementioned server. I have contacted them again about their Domain Host server but no response as yet.
If what I am presenting to you is the correct protocol I have in place at my end, I thank you for taking the time to assist me. By doing so, I believe I will be able to determine it is not an iWeb publishing issue [mostly because all my websites are not experiencing this problem], nor is it the FTP server,FileZilla, but the Domain Host Server.
As mentioned above, here is the folder where my websites are located.
I so appreciate your assistance.

IWeb Publish Error - A lock occurred while publishing to MobileMe

iWeb Publish Error - A lock occurred while publishing to MobileMe. Try publishing again later.
I've tried all articles so far on apple support site. Tried on new OS user and publishing to folder and publishing a test page. I still get an error. Publishing to folder works fine, its just when I publish to MobileMe. Also tried different network and restarting computer etc.
Help me. Thanks.

If you are logged in OK maybe you should look at your Keychain.
Finer/Go/Utilities/Keychain Access.app.
Try "Keychain First Aid" from the "Keychain Access" drop down menu.

Problems with iWeb publishing to MobileMe

Hi,
Did you have some problems since about four days on publishing with iWeb to MobileMe? In my case, when I publish my site - and I made just little changes - iWeb publish ALL the pages.
I early had this same problem, this spring, and it was a MobileMe problem; Apple just made a little update to the server and it was ok.
I'm using iWeb'09
Thanks

With a lot of media content have you considered other ways of adding movies or audio tracks that only require you uploading those file manually once and then linking to them. For movies this demo page has one possible method: Opening Item in a New, Precisely Sized Window. This demo page has 7 movies added that way. They don't load until the play button is selected. PhotoPresenter Animated Slideshow Themes
For audio you can use flash players or a flash jutebox. Roddy's site, iWeb for Musicians, has examples and how-to's for both. See the following pages: Music Players and the following 3 pages after it. See the Next Page button at the bottom.
I've got a couple of flash players on my demo page: Music Players.
There are many alternatives to having to load all the media each time you republish.

HOW TO PUBLISH YOUR WEBSITE ..FROM IWEB ..WHEN I USE TO USE MOBILE ME .. BUT NOW THERE IS NO MOBILE ME BECAUSE OF ICLOUD, AND ICLOUD DOESN'T SUPPORT IWEB PUBLISHING?

HOW TO PUBLISH YOUR WEBSITE ..FROM IWEB ..WHEN I USE TO USE MOBILE ME .. BUT NOW THERE IS NO MOBILE ME BECAUSE OF ICLOUD, AND ICLOUD DOESN'T SUPPORT IWEB PUBLISHING?

When MobileMe goes down the drain, you will need to move your website to standard hosting. Depending on your site size, I recommend A Small Orange, as the Tiny hosting plan they have is big enough for most iWeb sites and much cheaper then shelling out $6 a month for most of the other big names, and if you check out their forum, several of the members have coupon codes in thier signatures. Also, their customer service is great and very fast in getting back to you.
To upload, I publish the iWeb site to a folder, then using Cyberduck upload it to the host. Cyberduck beats iWeb's FTP uploader because Cyberduck only replaces updated pages, instead of uploading the entire site.
I hope this helps!

IE Scolling/Lag issues with IWeb Published Site

Has anyone had any issues with scrolling/lag with Internet Explorer on an iWeb published site? I have a site that runs great on Firefox and safari but terrible on Internet Explorer. I'm thinking it may be the template/design i used?
Anyone every seen this? Any suggestions?
Thanks,
JC

I've only ever used the Modern Frame, so I can't say if there would be a performance issue using a different template. I have about three pictures on each page.
I noticed on your site that you're using the "reflection" effect on some of your pictures. Just for the purpose of testing, perhaps you could try turning off that effect and then re-uploading your site to see if that is causing some of the problem? I believe the reflection is rendered using javascript code, which may be causing the poor performance in IE. If that does turn out to be the problem, you can decide whether it's worth it to keep the effect or not.
By the way, I don't get that same error message in IE when I open your Videos page. Maybe it's caused by a security setting in your IE being set at a more restrictive level?

IWeb publishes, but there is no change to the site on .MAC

I have had a recent problem, where i apply changes in iWeb, publish them successfully (according to the program) and then try and visit them to find an unchanged site.
How do I trouble shoot this?
Thanks

Hi
My URL for my home page is http://web.mac.com/martinzimelka/iWeb/homepage
I've put a screen-shot on a download page of mine of how the "homepage" should look like
http://homepage.mac.com/martinzimelka/FileSharing5.html
I have deleted the iWeb folder contents on the iDisc, and then had iWeb publish the whole thing again.
Still the http://web.mac.com/martinzimelka/iWeb/photography link and the
http://web.mac.com/martinzimelka/iWeb/homepage show the old pages.

IWeb publishing without MobileMe

Hello,
I am a beginner at making my own website. I don't have a MobileMe account and understand it's too late to get one. iCloud says it does not offer iWeb publishing. I have a template that I've put a few hours into on iWeb that I would like to use, although I could start over if I had to. Just did general searches for best rated web hosting services and read about iPage and FatCow, for example. Should I use one of these third party sites, or is there a way to keep it within the Mac family so to speak? I need to be able to post large files like music, photos, possibly movies, and I need to be able to password protect them so only certain people can access it, and therefore avoid copyright infringement of songs, for example.
Thank you,
Eileen

HostExcellence.com offers a package with one free domain name for $3.95/mo. with a 2 year committment. You can choose any domain name you'ld like as long as it's not already taken. Buying all the variations is a bit much uhnless your website might be your only means of income. HE also has a extended package for $7.95/mo with 3 free domain names. You have lots of choices out there.

Why won't my iWeb publish?

Why won't my iweb publish?

It says underneath your profile that you are using iWeb 08? If this is correct, then iWeb 08 does not have a built in ftp client and you have to publish your site to a local folder and upload your files directly to your server using something like Cyberduck. Also, iWeb 08 will not work properly with Lion, Mountain Lion and Mavericks.
It sounds as if you are using iWeb 09 and this does still work with Lion, Mountain Lion and Mavericks.
HostExcellence are a webhosting company and as such, have no clue about iWeb and they are incorrect - iWeb will not and does not just expire like that - it still works at the moment with the latest OS, but there will come a time when it may not.
If the built in ftp does not work, then you will need to publish your site to a local folder and then use an ftp programme such as Cyberduck, Transmit or Yummy Ftp to upload your files to your server. This does work, as I have used HostExcellence as a host in the past and always uploaded my files in this way with no problems at all.
It might be easier to think about re-building your site now with new software, so why not take a look at EverWeb at http://www.everwebapp.com. This is very much like iWeb, but you can do a lot more.
