IWeb site in Safari vs. Firefox

Can someone tell me why an iWeb 08 site built with rollover hyperlinks and varying text colors displays perfectly in Firefox but is not displaying properly in Safari 3? I should state that I had updated iWeb 2.0.2 but consistent crashing led me back to using 2.0.

That's not one of the web safe fonts. They are listed in thisWeb Safe Fonts
Common fonts to all versions of Windows & Mac equivalents
Safe web fonts
Use one of those and it should display better. Also FF3 doesn't display drop shadows and some other enhancements. If you add a drop shadow to the text via the Font pane and then make the shadow opaque with the far right slider the text box will be converted to a graphic file and show the same in all browsers. If you select the Text: Show text imaging indicator check box when you have text boxes that are image there will be a small icon in the upper right hand corner of the text box.

Back up all data.
Triple-click the line of text below to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
/Library/Internet Plug-ins
In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste (command-V) into the text box that opens, then press return.
From the folder that opens, remove any items that have the letters “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari, and test.
I've seen an unconfirmed report that the "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can also interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you might need to remove it as well, if applicable.
If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.

IWeb site and safari

I have two web site up using iWeb one ftp and the other is moblie me. When I look at them in safari they look just fine, but I can't use the smaller or larger type comand. In firefox they work but not in apple own safari. Very curious and not sure if this belong here or in safari help. I look and searched both but I must be the only one with this problem.

No, I don't hate it. I just feel so very sad about it. Firefox works better for me. It has Rikaichan, a Japanese translator add-on. Safari can't compete with that.
And Safari4, well, it's a beta, the most pitiful beta I've ever seen. It does have some bling and iCandy, but I want a work horse. Let's say it's the Tiny Tim of browsers. You can have your fun with it.
You could make a trial page, publish it, then change the theme and each time check it out. Make a list for other users. Just an idea. You could even duplicate one of your pages and use that one in a separate trial site.

IWeb site blank in IE, but perfect in Chrome, Firefox, Safari

Hello all,
I'm sorry, I know this question comes up again and again, but what I have read and attempted doesn't seem to help my website. I just started using iWeb last week and I really enjoy it. I was using Dreamweaver before which is a great program for CSS and HTML editing, but really doesn't compare to the simplicity and speed of designing with a WYSIWYG like iWeb.
So are there a few big culprits as to why iWeb sites don't display in IE 6,7, or 8? I realize this is pretty much an Internet Explorer problem, but can I fix at least some of the content without doing a ton of hacking to my site?
I am already fixing one issue using Dreamweaver:
iWeb: +<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>+
instead of: +<xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8">+
...so I'm not afraid to publish with iWeb, then edit a few things in the HTML/CSS. Can anything be done? It's a fairly simple website: mantheipc.webege.com (ignore text content, needs a lot of revision).
*Other info:*
Free hosting via 000webhost.com
iWeb '08 2.0.4
OS X 10.5.7
Dreamweaver CS5
Uploading via FileZilla
Tested to work under Firefox, Chrome, and Safari (Mac+PC)
Tested and failed to load in IE 6,7,8 at http://ipinfo.info/netrenderer/
Tested and failed to load in IE 6 on XP Laptop
Thanks a lot for your time,
Dylan

Removing the first line of every HTML document permits the site to load in IE.
<xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8">
To figure out why IE wouldn't display my site, I created a new blank page and added an image, a hyperlink, a text box, and a fancy CSS text box. I also set a background gradient and page color. The page wouldn't display in IE, so I started deleting HTML by hand with a text editor starting with the most likely culprits (in-line CSS, javascript, etc). I was down to an image, hyperlink, bgcolor, and center tags and the site still wouldn't load. Realizing these are the most basic html tags there are, the only thing left that could cause a problem was that first line.
While I realize this is not at all an ideal solution, it worked. Not only does the site load, but it looks about as good as it does in Firefox and Chrome. No transparency issues or anything! The first line isn't vital to site display, but it does cause the browser to 'guess' what type of encoding the page is in. All of my testing indicated this isn't an issue on my PC or Mac, but I need to try friends and family's PC's too.
Tested good on:
IE8, Firefox, and Chrome in Windows 7
Firefox, Chrome, and Safari in MacOS Leopard
Thanks again to everyone who read and contributed!

IWeb-generated site OK in Safari and Firefox, but no NavBar in IE

I created a site in iWeb and it displays fine in Safari and Firefox. However, the entire NavBar section is not displaying in Internet Explorer, despite loose permissions for running code in IE.
The script section from one of the pages appears below, and any help or suggestions are much appreciated. I need to get this site up, and really need it to be accessible for IE users.
Thanks.
<script type="text/javascript"><![CDATA[//><!]]></script>

Are you using the navigation menu that comes with the page template? If so, it will not display on a PC with Internet Explorer unless javascript is turned on in the preferences. The template nav bars in iWeb use java and if this is not enabled on some computers, then it cannot be seen.
What you can do so that it will show up in IE, is to create your own text based navigation bar instead - to do this, just open the Inspector and then go to Page - second choice in and click on the boxes which say hide navigation menu and then just create your own by using a text box, shape or whatever. Don't forget to hyperlink to your pages though.

Iweb site not showing up in firefox version 3.0

i recently published my iweb site to a folder and put it up on a hosting site, it used to be at .mac, but well...
anyway the photo album part of the pages is not showing up in the firefox at my work: 3.0
but it works fine in safari...
any suggestions?

I'm having the same problem. I just published a blog with photo pages, but the photos do not load using Firefox 3.0. They show just fine using Safari. I've not tried it yet with Explorer, but friends who have logged in have not complained about not seeing the photos, so I suspect the problem is specific to Firefox.
Anyone have an idea what the problem might be?

With Safari, No search results in password protected iWeb site on MobileMe

Hi,
I'm publishing my iWeb site to my ME.COM account.
I have the site password protected as offered in iWeb.
But when the site is password protected and I'm accessing the site with Safari the search with the search field in the site does not produce any results.
Only the message:
"Your search did not produce any results."
If I use FireFox everything works fine and the search provides the expected results.
Looks like there is a bug in Safari.
Thanks and Regards,
JO

ok, is working, now.

Having issues viewing sites on Safari/Firefox (even after update 3.0.1)

Hi,
I'm very new to the world of Mac but have been working on a web site. I have been having ongoing issues being able to view my website on a Mac (using either Safari or Firefox). I put it down to the need to wait for the upgrade to iweb 3.0.1. I have since made the upgrade but am still getting issues. I have tried using the iweb FTP client as well as Cyberduck. Both are coming up with the same issue. If anyone can please let me know what I am doing wrong that would be appreciated.
The local site looks fine, but once I upload it I am having issues. It is probably a simple mistake I am making but I am really scratching my head. I have uploaded the generic Bebop welcome page so you can hopefully see what I mean.

I created a new Aperture 3 library by importing around 40,000 images (mixture of supported digital cameras). I spent about four days (and nights) organizing projects. I was very happy with the raw conversion results and the speed. I did all the updates that appeared later (3.01, RAW, Pro Apps from Apple). This past Sunday I exported a project, edited it on a MacBook Pro (with all the updates as the Mac Pro). Then I merged the project back into the major library. Suddenly, I began seeing these distortions you mentioned. At first there were 20-30. By the end of the night, almost 90% of my 40,000 images were distorted. All had been fine for weeks.
I was incredibly pleased with Aperture 3 and was having none of the problems many others mentioned (probably because I imported RAW images fresh and didn't import old Aperture 2 libraries). But to have this happen after all this work .... discouraging to say the least. Now I've returned to Lightroom 3 (again). As a professional photographer the software must consistently work.
Hope there's a solution from Apple for this very soon.
Good luck to you as well.

White areas in safari when viewing iweb site I created

Ok Here is my problem!
I have created a website on iweb 08 which includes an autostart quicktime movie as an intro. When I view the site in Safari 3.2.1 strange white areas appear in the browser window. They disappear if 1 click outside of the browser. In Firefox no areas appear! Although as typical with iweb it seems, the type seems to get moved around a bund (less so in Safari, but a little nontheless.) so what am I doing wrong? Do i need to tweak a setting in iweb. And how do i get the typeset from changing spacing, although I can live with the appearance at it is, having t exactly how it looks in iweb would be perfect?
Go to www.nigelreblochon.com to see the problem.
Any help would be great!
Thanks

I think it might be too good. It made me very hungry after just the first two pages. I line the simplicity of the site. That's makes it much more compatible with the dark side, i.e. Internet Explorer.
I don't know enough about flash to help you on that but Flash probably would load faster than QT. I know Roddy McKay is knowledgeable using flash for music so he might be able to help with flash video. The Quicktime expert hereabouts is QuicktimeKirk. Do a search of this forum for posts by either of those users and "flash" and you should get some useful information.

Safari and firefox stop working after a few minutes of browsing, regardless of what site I'm on. I have to restart my computer to get internet access again but it only works for a few more minutes, then I have to restart again. Please help!

Safari and firefox stop working after a few minutes of browsing, regardless of what site I'm on. I have to restart my computer to get internet access again but it only works for a few more minutes, then I have to restart again. I don't get a spinning ball, it just stops working at whatever page it's on. I can close the program just fine but when I re-open it, either safari or firefox, it freezes trying to load the hompage. This started a few days ago after trying to stream a movie on my computer. I'm on a Mac Air OS X Version 10.6.8 and have downloaded all updates. When I go into finder, it says I have over 80 gigs available. Is there some other memory cache that I need to check? Thanks so much for your help.

It's not a router problem as I explained in my post. If it was a router problem then I wouldn't have the problem everywhere I go. It is an issue with the software.
Then I guess the millions of people running 10.5.7 with no issues are just hallucinating that their machines are working fine?
I'm not trying to belittle your issues; you're certainly having them and I know first hand how annoying an intermittent AirPort issue can be. (In fact, mine was due to an AirPort driver bug that no one else seemed to suffer from.)
The single best diagnostic you could do is take your system running 10.5.7 to an Apple Store, and try using their in-store network.
If your machine performs flawlessly, it may be a router issue.
If your machine has connectivity issues there, it may be a hardware problem with your machine.
There have been numerous people in multiple threads over the years who swore that an update was buggy because things used to work, but returned later to sheepishly admit that they took their machine in, a problem was found and fixed, and now their Mac works flawlessly with the newer software.
But simply reinstalling 10.5.5 in no way means the explanation of how firmware bugs may be at play here is incorrect.
In the context of that explanation, all you've done is possibly reinstall software that asks to add "2 + 3."

Both safari and firefox are telling me that websites are not "verified" and that they cannot identify the sites

When I turned on my computer today, the date and time were completely wrong. I then went to sign into familiar websites I use (gmail, facebook, etc) and both safari and firefox had pop ups that said that they could not "identify" and "verify" the sites. Once I verified, the sites would go through but wouldn't be completely loaded and won't work.

The date & time MUST be set correctly (within a few minutes and the correct Time Zone), or httpS: sites cannot work.

Safari and Firefox will not download from a particular site

Greetings,
I own a Dual 1.42 GHz PowerPC G4 (FW800) with 2 MB L3 cache per processor and 1 GB DDR SDRAM with the Mac OS X Version 10.4.11
My Safari version is 4.1.2 (4533.18.5)
My Firefox version is 3.6.10
I want to access this site for the information that it contains:
http://www.gis.mt.gov/
Safari has never worked with this site.
Firefox has worked very well for the past 2 years.
Recently, very recently, both browsers do NOT work with this site. I called the state's technical support and was informed:
1) That it is a hit or miss possibility for Safari and Firefox to work properly with this site; and,
2) That the site is optimized to operate with Internet Explorer for Windows.
I am unable to find and to download a recent version of Internet Explorer for Mac. Microsoft ended support for this browser (version 5.2.3) on 12/31/2006. I did download this version and it did not work.
Open this site: http://www.gis.mt.gov/
Click on “Property Map” located in upper left area of the screen.
On new drop-down, click on the “OK” button
A new window should appear with a map of Montana, with outlines of its 56 counties. If this map does NOT appear; then, the problem is being shown.
If this map of counties does appear; then, GREAT.
On this new window and in lower right hand corner choose a city and click on the “Go” button. A new window with the city shown should appear. If this city does not appear; then, there is the problem.
In the past I have used the “Property Map” most of the time because it contains information most useful to me. I want to continue using this “Property Map” into the future. The problem is that my results with both Safari and Firefox is a blank window after completing the above steps.
Help ! ! What can I do different/change/modify?

There is your answer. Many US Government sites are the same - they simply WILL NOT follow the necessary web standards to make them Apple and/or Safari compliant.
The only thing you can try is to go to Safari's Develop Menu and try using Internet Explorer as the User Agent.

My iWeb page on Safari is a mess while on Firefox is ok...

Hello everyone of you.
I'm experiencing this crazy thing at this very moment.
I'm building my new site and
while on Firefox everything seems (and really is) to be ok,
on Safari it's a total mess, displaying name to old links etc, instead of the real text strings...
Can anyone explain me what it's happening and how to avoid it?
Thanks a lot in advance.

What's the URL of your site so we can examine it first hand? Have you tired clearing Safari's cache (Command+Option+E) and reloading the page?
What version of Safari are you using?
