IWeb sites in internet explorer

I have created a site for our company that can be viewed at www.ourlandscapers.com. On Safari & Firefox, it looks fine, but on Internet explorer (which 99% of our clients use), it looks like a big mess, with overwriting, field boxes, red x's everywhere, etc.
I don't know what I need to do to get it to publish correctly in Internet Explorer as it does in Safari, etc.

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. I noticed you used some none web safe fonts, Handwriting-Dakota for one. That won't play well with IE which is considered antiquated as far as browsers (but used by more people than any other )
Make sure you're using web safe fonts:
Web Safe Fonts
Common fonts to all versions of Windows & Mac equivalents
Safe web fonts
If you're using a non web safe font in other than an html link, you can add adrop shadow to it with the Font window and set the opacity to zero and the text will be converted into an image file that will look the same in all browsers. It may take a little longer to load than text but it will look good.
Others will be in to suggest other things you can do. It will not be easy to dumb down the site for IE browsers but you can get fairly close. IE 7, I believe, does play better with iWeb than earlier versions. You can also put a note on the site that it's best viewed with Safari for Windows or Firefox. Can't hurt to nudge them into the 21st century as far as browsers are concerned.

Why can't I update or load new apps on my iPhone and iPad. It does not ask me for my password. I tried to sync from my laptop now I am unable to connect to any sites from internet explorer. When I try to update or load any app it tells me it is corrupt

You need to ask Apple for assistance with getting back into your old ID. To do this, click here and pick a method; if that page doesn't list one for your country or you're unable to resolve this issue through the Account Security team, fill out and submit this form.

I'm getting "The connection has timed out" when I try to connect to one specific website. I can connect to the site using Internet Explorer. Help?

As suggested by Firefox, I cleared my history and cache. I also downloaded and ran one of the Firefox recommended malware applications. I also removed Firefox from my firewall and then added it back as suggested by Firefox. I have no problem accessing the site using Internet Explorer.

Thanks jscher2000. Yes, in Safe Mode I was able to go the site. I read the possible ways that Firefox suggests to try to fix the problem, i.e., go through all my extensions to find the problem or reset Firefox to the original factory settings. Where do you suggest I go from here?

Cannot acees HTTPS sites in Internet Explorer - Windows 10

In Build 9860 : We cannot access HTTPS sites in Internet Explorer ; unless we put it as a TRUSTED SITE.
A similar issue has existed in Windows 8 and a patch was issued.
I think the same issue has now come back in Windows 10.
Please fix this. Thank you.

Well, please try this link in your internet explorer of Windows 10.
https://itldrive.infosys.com/infosys/webview/xythoslogin.action
It doesn't open unless you put it as a trusted site.
However, in Firefox (or IE in Windows 8 or 7) it may open without any issue.

Problem with dreamweaver site on internet explorer

Hi all
Help required! i have a website up and running www.villaneptunecyprus.co.uk which works fine in most browsers apart from Internet Explorer!
If you have a look you will see a slider banner picture come across the screen which then slides out to be replaced by another and so on. However in IE the first banner slides in and then out and then all the text disappears and the website , for want of a better word, just stops. You can still navigate to other pages in the site but the same thing happens eventually.
Just cannot quite see what is going wrong.....any suggestions gratefully received!!
Regards
Neil

Some sites needs Internet Explorer and doesnt open in Safari!!!

Hello,
There are couple of sites that doesnt open in Safari and the messege I get is : The TIBCO General Interface product requires Microsoft Internet Explorer v. 6.0 or greater.
The website is http://www.dsm.com.qa/dsmsite/ And then click on Love Quotes.
Please help me with it.
Thank you!!!

Hi,
As Tom says, the website is geared towards Windows Internet Explorer users only.
The only 2 options you have are to:
1. Send them feedback about the problem to http://www2.dsm.com.qa/dsm/DSM_ContactUs and hope they eventually increase their compatibility with other systems.
2. Run VirtualPC so that you are effectively running Windows on your Mac (or simply buy a cheap PC).
Sorry it's not better news.

Firefox much slower connecting to all web sites than Internet Explorer. Why?

Over the last few weeks, Firefox has become much slower connecting to virtually all web sites that I frequent than does Internet Explorer. Nothing has changed on my computer other than occasional downloads of Firefox "improvements".

A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.
See:
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Server+not+found
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Firewalls
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

Google Chrome and Firefox won't open any sites. Internet explore can.

Internet Explorer will run any sites. After installing google chrome and firefox its opens the browser but then when i enter a site, any site, it just wont go... It's not giving me an error message... i push the "enter" key and the busy locator, the circle thing that rotates to indicate the page is loading. it just pops for like 1 sec still remains on the main page.

Hello justinmendoza89, check if your [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/configure-firewalls-so-firefox-can-access-internet#os=win7&browser=fx16 firewall] or other security software(antivirus, antispyware) prevent firefox access .

Optimizing a site for Internet Explorer or Mozilla

I built a website on Dreamweaver cs4, and ran it for browser compatibility on a mac. It works perfectly on Safari and Opera, but when I open it on a PC Internet Explorer or Mozilla the site shows blue boarders for the links, and moves the formatting. Does anyone now how to fix the issue so it will work on any browser?

IWeb 08 and Internet Explorer ...failing to write text to screen correctly?

I have a site created using iWeb08. It works well on old and new firefox but on IE I see inconsistent behaviour on different almost identical screen.
Viewing the site on Firfoy or Safaris gives 1:1 what is on the screen on iWeb.
On Internest explorer ...some but not all pages fail to display the text correctly, basically the text on my menu gets wrapped almost like IE thinks there is not enough space in each text box to dsiplay it. I have my own menu system, I have carefully chosen a portable font but in most and minimised as far as possible the number of objects on the screen. What is weird is that 70% of the pages on the site look good on IE, but 2 pages with almost identical layout can be comnpletely different in the display.
1) has anyone else seen this? and cured it
2) does anyone know why in the iWeb generated css files there is a css file for IE but this is never referenced in the html or js code? in fact the call to it is commented out.
Please dont tell me to tell my viewers to use Firefox, the real world is that we have to support the user not the other way round....
Thanks

Hi thanks for the advice, the text is centred vertically , left aligned and there is plenty of space at the end. I will try increasing width/height but not sure if that will help as box is already much bigger than text.
In fact it works perfectly on another web page ...thats what surprising ....even the html for the two pages is identical from what we can see!
Take a look at
www.cibsys.com/cibsys1/index.html on the UK site and run down the various pages on the left side to see what happens (if you have IE on a PC). On the PC on some pages perhaps 30% eg workflow services the menu on the left fails to draw correctly leaving the text un readable.
Thanks

Uploading iWeb site to internet.

Error message "cannot connect to server" when I try uploading my iWeb site to the internet (godaddy.com url). I saved the html file to my local hard drive (on the desktop) and tried uploading through FTP on iWeb, FileZilla, and GoDaddy's. Similar error messages on all three. Solutions? Fixes? Better ways to make and get my website up?! Also, not sure if it makes a difference but I don't have an iWeb account or a MobileMe account. I just happen to have the software on my MacBook Pro so I thought it'd be an easy way to make my first website.
Thank you!
Miri

Okay, so firstly, you CAN't have an iWeb account - iWeb is an application that is on your Mac and you can use it whatever if it is there - there is no account that is needed.
You will not now be able to get a MobileMe account if you don't already have one, as they are not taking any more subscriptions as it will not be here from June next year, iCloud having replaced it.
You say that you have a "url" or do you mean domain name from GoDaddy? If you do, then to be able to upload a website you also need to purchase a hosting account from them.
Not having a hosting account would be one very good reason why you would be getting the error messages' cannot connect to server' - this is because you have no server/host to connect to because you don't have a hosting account.
Go to GoDaddy and purcahse a hosting account from them and you will then be able to upload your site.

I was referred to this site because Internet Explorer would not allow me to navigate to web page. Therefore the tech-support staff sugested I try your site to get to the web page

upon logging into this program open road x3 from the site realeflow.com. I get a msg "navigation to web page has been canceled" so I contacted the tech-support staff. They informed me that in the past this problem has occurred with internet explorer, so they referred your site to me, as a option to get into the web page from their site. I have never used your site to get into a web page before. So I do not exactly know how this works??????????

In Firefox 3.6.4 and later the default connection settings have been changed to "Use the system proxy settings".
See "Firefox connection settings" in [[Server not found]]
You can find the connection setting here: Tools > Options > Advanced : Network : Connection
If you do not need to use a proxy to connect to internet then select No Proxy
Another possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox without informing you about that,.
Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox.
See [[Server not found]] and [[Firewalls]] and http://kb.mozillazine.org/Firewalls

Firefox keeps saying can't connect to server for every site but internet explorer can

I was using firefox before and it worked fine. But then yesterday firefox updated itself and since then it wouldn't work. its not the firwall, not a proxey problem, I had uninstalled it and reinstalled it but that didn't work either. Internet explorer still works and so does the wireless for the laptop but just for my desktop firefox doesn't work. Now everytime I open firefox or try any other site it says "can't connect to the server at ..." what do I do.

Did you check your security software (firewall)?
