IWeb site not zooming correctly on iPhone

I am a noobie user of iWeb and have created a web site that will be primarily used on iPads or iPhones. The typical behavior of a website on the iOS is that you can pinch the site to zoom in/out. When I publish my website, it works great on my mac. But on the iPad and especially on the iPhone, the pinch zoom in/out functionality isn't working as I'd like it.
My web page was set up 800 pixels wide. It dwarfs the 480 wide pixels on a iphone. I'd like to zoom out and see the entire page. But when I pinch zoom out, it zooms out until I let go of the screen. It then snaps back to full resolution.
Would someone have some experience with this that could give me some hints what I'm doing wrong here?
Thanks in advance.

Welcome to the discussions. I don't have hands-on experience with this theme, but there is this Apple developers document:
_Safari Web Content Guide_
...In the "Configuring the Viewport" section it says:
"Safari on iOS sets the size and scale of the viewport to reasonable defaults that work well for most webpages (...) *The default width is 980 pixels.* (...) For example, if your webpage is narrower than 980 pixels, then you should set the width of the viewport to fit your web content."
...But before setting the width of the viewport (by adding HTML), I suggest simply making one of your pages 980 pixels wide and seeing if that helps. If it does, you may want to consider that as the solution for all your pages.
By the way, Apple's own design award-winning site at apple.com mostly has a width of 980 pixels.

Used SEO tool for iWeb now site not displaying properly on iPhone....

Hello!
I used the SEO tool for Iweb for my site and it;s displaying perfectly on my macbook but when I look at it on my iphone it's a mess... No background, no header, can't change pages etc....
HELP!
Thanks in Advance.

So the problem occurs when you use that application.
Does the problem occur when you do not use that application?
If not, then SEO Tools is the problem and iWeb is not involved.

SAFARI NOT WORKING CORRECTLY ON iPhone

Does anyone else have a problem with Safari not displaying a web page correctly on iPhone? I have a web site that displays correctly if I use Safari on my PC, but changes the colors in the page header on the iPhone.

Tap Settings > Safari
Tap to clear History, Cookies, and Data
Then reset your iPhone.
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
No data is lost due to a reset.

Web pages posted to .Mac using iWeb do not render correctly on IE

Okay, let's face it - most people out there use Internet Explorer (IE) to view web pages. I just published my web page using iWeb onto my iMac account. The web site renders correctly on my Mac, but does not render correctly on my PC using IE at work. Several other people using IE saw similar problems. For example, IE does not show the links until you run your mouse over them. Also, the text renders as an image (you cannot select text individualy). What do I do to ensure that all the world views the site correctly? Thanks.

Welcome to the discussions, stoma.
You'll have to essentially dumb your site down to IE level. Get rid of the cool effects, the transparencies, the rotated images, basically everything that makes iWeb so impressive to use. Make a nice plain site with no frills and you're 90% of the way to near 100% IE compatibility.
Take all of your images and edit them outside of iWeb (like with other web applications) and that's another significant chunk. There will be a few bits left over, but some of those will be things you can't do anything about (like some of the page elements being created as .png's). You'll be as close to IE compatible as you can get with iWeb.
Post your URL to let other users post as to what your SPECIFIC site would need.

Adobe Muse Site not appering correctly on Phone?

Ok so I have my site ready, it's created with Adobe Muse and published. I am hosting it with business catalyst and redirecting to it from my domain name service. The page appears correctly on the computer and the phone using the link "juniorstaqueria.businesscatalyst.com" however when I go through my link "www.juniorstaqueria.com" which is currently pointing to "juniorstaqueria.businesscatalyst.com" the phone version does not appear correctly and is zoomed out.
Could someone please help me understand why this is happening?
This is how it looks when I go through my domain name linking to the business catalyst hosted site:
Dropbox - photo1.jpg
This is how it looks when I go through the business catalyst link directly:
Dropbox - photo2.jpg
Photo 2 is correctly displayed.
Thanks!

I was doing some searching, this issue seems to be the same as mine, but no resolution. Re: Phone layout shrunk to left and tiny
Update #1: I went back in and updated everything on the site to be 366px. The site is set to a width of 380px therefore the page in a desktop browser if you go there directly appears as it does on my phones http://juniorstaqueria.businesscatalyst.com/phone/index.html
It will not allow you to resize past a min of 380px as it is supposed to however the browser windows are stretching the content way far out. Is there a way to put in the pages to do a "max-width of 380px"? This would not allow any browser to stretch the window. I think this could fix the problem but I really don't understand that when I go to the page with the business catalyst link its fine but with the domain link I paid for it is totally wrong, even though it goes to the phone page it treats it like it's a desktop page.
Update #2: I went and moved my site host to a different provider than the business catalyst site and now this time the mobile version appears 100% correctly but the Desktop version gives me the following error:
MuseJSAssert: Error calling selector function:TypeError: undefined is not an object (evaluating '$(window).data("ResolutionManager").activate')
If I can figure out why this error is occurring when I host it myself and fix it I will just host the site instead of using catalyst which doesn't display it correctly with a domain link.

Moblie site not working correctly

hello
i am using muse and BC, with my web site westfieldsautocentre.co.uk and very happy with it, until tried to do add mobile one.
it ends up looking all wrong when i view it on my iphone
please use this link to see - Westfields Auto Centre
but if i publish the very same site to a fresh BC site it is OK
Please use the link to see - http://wacmoblie.businesscatalyst.com/index.html
is it some thing wrong with BC or MUSE
please help
paul

Sorry Zak
I do not understand, i have check my domain settings and re-link it as per info, but still not working correctly,
If i type in on my iPhone just westfieldsautocentre.co.uk . it is redirect the home page from my desktop to the mobile homepage but not sizing the page correctly as per mobile site should do,
but upload the same site to a fresh BC site all is ok,
From that i can see its something to do with my domain name link to my site.
But do not understand what "redelegate your domain name to point to your site on Business Catalyst" means.
Is there anyway you can put this in more simple terms that a car mechanic can understand or should i keep to repairing cars
kind regards
Paul

Why do emails from Business Catalyst site not show up on iPhone?

I have an email setup on my own Business Catalyst website with a few alias's. The email account is setup in my Outlook 07 Windows 7 64 pro desktop, and I can send and receive emails from all of the alias's and the main email. However I am noticing that on some emails from clients, I get the email on my desktop Outlook 07, but it never shows up on my iPhone.
EXAMPLE: Today I received an email at 12:57pm. It shows on my desktop. But never showed up on my iPhone. Once I saw this I forwarded the message from my desktop to the same email address that my client had sent his email to. Once I did that I did get the forwarded email of the original email on my iPhone. And yes, I have received other emails from the same client email address before on several occasions.
Problem is that I left my office at 12:15 and did not see this 12:57 email until I got back to the office much later in the day. And thus, ending my day very badly due to.....??? A) the Business Catalyst email I have setup is not setup correctly B) my email settings in my iPhone is not setup correctly.
Wondering if anybody else has experienced the same issue and figured out what step was missed.

Hi bluetaildesign,
Not sure how is that working on one instance but not other. Can you please try to use mail.b.hostedemail.com as incoming and/or outgoing mail server on iphone and try again. This hostname has the SSL certificate installed on it and can be used for transferring the emails in a secured manner.
Hope that helps!
Kind Regards,

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?
www.thebeautyseeker.com

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?

Https sites not displaying correctly

Here's an interesting problem thats cropped up on a couple of machines here. Hopefully someone else has found the cause!
The problem is that some HTTPS sites are not displaying correctly. We have seen this with vimeo, and with wetransfer. I have included a screenshot of the issue on both safari and on chrome.
Cross checks i've been able to verify:
another machine with the same OS (10.8.5) looking at the same sites is fine and another running 10.9.4 is not, so this appears not to be OS or browser version related.
this does not happen in a different user account on the same machine, so the issue appears to be in the user home.
this happens across all browsers in this user account. so it appears to be a supporting technology or cache going wrong rather than a specific browser.
I have emptied the user preferences, and cache folders with no change.
Clearly i can sidestep this by creating a new user home, but that isn't actually getting to the bottom of what is going wrong, and it would be better to identify the issue!

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

IPhoto events not syncing correctly with iPhone

Hello,
Basically, my iPhoto events are not syncing correctly with my iPhone. Some events will sync, whereas others won't, though no error messages are ever displayed.
I have all my photos, 961 photos in 34 events, organised in iPhoto, however iTunes doesn't seem to recognise all of these events, only reporting 881 photos. I've got iTunes set up to "Sync photos from iPhoto - All events" and this works for most events, but not all.
On my iPhone, I can tell which events are missing, but no matter how many times I restart my Mac or sync my iPhone, it refuses to sync the few missing albums. There is over 4Gb of available space left on the iPhone, so this shouldn't be an issue.
Many thanks in advance.
Peter.

Any ideas, please? I hope I explained my issue clearly enough.
Thank you,
Peter.

IWeb site not downloading documents

I created an iWeb site about a year ago. Up to date, I haven't had any real issues with it. However, all of a sudden, the documents that I've made available for downloads from my site aren't downloading for some reason. I have checked the file directories and made sure that the paths are correct. Nothing! They are simple PDF files so nothing too complicated. Any thoughts on what I should do?
Site: nhwctr.org
On the 'Reach Across" page I have links "More Info!" and "Apply now!". Both have PDF files on my desktop that are linked to the site but refuse to download.

Create a folder - PDF-Downloads - and upload this to the root folder on your server so that it site alongside the rest of your website files. This page shows the method for audio files but its the same method for any other type...
http://www.iwebformusicians.com/AudioFiles/Upload.html
If you want the PDF to download to the visitors desktop when the link is clicked you need to create a zip file. See the bottom of this page for how to create a PC compatible zip...

Portions of iWeb site not visible

Hello
I'm uploading my iWeb site via Cyberduck to A Small Orange
And occasionally, some elements just don't show up. They load, and I can see them as they are loading, but then they disappear. For example, the book in the background here:
http://gvkauai.jantonbusch.com/HFHGV_trip%3A_GV_10023_Homepage.html
What gives? Should I upload with a different program? When I upload, I do a replace all. Should I not?

For example, the book in the background here:
Do Safari > Window > Activity. Does the file for the book show up as missing? If not, then any visibility problems are presumably caused by something covering it up rather than any kind of uploading issue.

Blog page in iweb site not responding or linking like other pages

Hi
This is a new issue for me. I have multiple pages that I created in my iweb site through my personal domain ... studio8films.net
All page hyperlinks will work properly, but the BLOG page seems to stall and when I look at the bottom of the window it is trying to access www.me.com where ALL THE OTHER PAGES show the access to web.mac.com
Can someone tell me why this is the case? It doesn't make sense. And it is a new issue.

Furthermore ...
When the BLOG page finally loads, I click on the 'add comment' and a message comes up that says 'We're sorry. We are having a problem processing your request.
Is there something going on with mobile.me and iweb blog pages or is there something wrong on my end?

Is it possible to have 2 iWeb sites (not just "Start Site")

I have a great functioning iWeb site, but it is my personal site and I need to create a separate one for my business. Is there a way to do this in iWeb? I don't want to switch back and forth between "start sites"

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Yes, you can have multiple sites. One way is to use iWebSites to create a separate domain file for your second site and switch between the two for editing and publishing. I use iWebSites to manage over 40 individual sites.. It lets me create multiple sites and multiple domain files.
If you have multiple sites in one domain file here's the workflow I used to split them into individual site files with iWebSites. Be sure to make a backup copy of your original Domain.sites files before starting the splitting process and move it to another location on your HD until you're satisfied the separation process is completed and what you want.
This lets me edit several sites and only republish the one I want.
You can have multiple sites in one MobileMe account. They would have their own separate URLs as follows: http://web.me.com/yourMMe_accountname/site name. If you have domain names those would be the URLs you would forward to.
