IWeb Web Widget Power

Alright so I searched and didn't really find a direct answer to my question so I figured I would add it myself as my first post.
I am creating my first webpage with iWeb and want to place a web widget like the ones I make out of safari. For example I have a widget in my dashboard that shows my Halo 3 profile stats. Is there any way to get that widget into my iWeb page?

It can be done, but you have to know how to get the data from dashboard's web clips.
It's not very straight forward, some dashboard widgets (not all) can be modified to use in a web page, have a look - the bottom three are from my web clips:

WEB WIDGET - HTML SNIPPET how to post myspace music in iWeb

i'm making a site for a band. i'm using the *web widget- html snippet* to insert the myspace player from a band. the bands site is http://www.myspace.com/mod39lone.
this is the code i'm putting in :
<embed src="http://lads.myspace.com/music/musicplayer.swf?n=aHR0cDovL211c2ljLm15c3BhY2 UuY29t&t=wz7NYVvdN1sD5sZn5jwqhteIJEBAWtU7cGxSvblOZr59VYuvhFOEuaUs29mG1lCNKsOUiB4 00Vl6iAOogScxHQ==&u=LTE=&a=0&d=MTc4MzA0MTgxXjExODc3NDE1MjU=" quality=high bgcolor=#FFFFFF width="450" height="345" name="mp3player" align=""type="application/x-shockwave-flash" FlashVars="culture=nl-NL"pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplay er"> </embed>
when i'm editing iWeb, the player shows up and plays the music and everything is fine! but when i publish the site, it says "Movie not loaded" when you click on it.
the site i'm currently working on is still being worked on, but i made an extra page to show whoever could help me. the link is:
http://web.me.com/henreegee/IamTokyo/Blank.html

That method can be done using iFrame code in an HTML snippet. You need to upload the Family Matters - Computer.m4v file to your server and link to it there via an HTML snippet and iFrame code. An example is in this demo page along with the code: QT movies via iFrame.
There are other ways to add the movie (the full one Family Matters - Computer.m4v.
One is to upload the file to your server and linking to it as shown in this demo page: Opening Item in a New, Precisely Sized Window.
The method you posted is explained in this tutorial: Old Toad's Tutorial #18 - Adding Movie/Video File to iWeb Page via Export for Web in Quicktime Player. To see the edits click on the buttons in steps 5a and 5b.

Aperture (2.1.1.) - iWeb cannot find the Aperture Gallery in the web widget

Hi all,
I think this is not really related to MobileMe's current problems, as it shows alright on the web:
If I publish a Web Album to MM (and I think it was the same issue with .Mac but am not sure), everythings working fine upload wise.
Only if I want to include the Web Album in iWeb with the help of the Web-Widget tool, Aperture Web-Galleries do not show up.
iPhoto works fine, what's published to MM there shows up on the iWeb widget menu (if not password protected)
Does anyone experience the same? is that 'normal' or is there a work-around?
Cheers
Greg

The workaround for this is to turn your Aperture galleries ( ie, albums) into iPhoto galleries, at least temporarily. You can do this online, once you are logged into your actual .me account (http://www.me.com/gallery/#home). Select an album, choose the Settings button at the top of the page ( a button with "light switches" graphic on it ), change the "Syncs with:" option to iPhoto and Ok. Then launch iWeb and you should find the gallery listed there. Once you publish the site, you should be ok to set the album settings back to Aperture. +(Haven't double checked this yet ...)+
*Note 1:*
If you don't see the Syncs with option, then hold down the 'shift' key when you click on the Settings.
Then it will show.
*Note 2:*
Folks are confusing the web gallery albums that are showing up in the intra-app media browser (just images are accessed here) and the insert gallery menu item (entire gallery inserted). Easy mistake but they are different functions.

IWeb not showing .Mac web gallery albums in Web Widgets pull down menu

I'm trying to update a webpage and insert a .Mac Web gallery album using the Web Widgets pull down menu. The problem is the menu isn't offering/showing ALL of my .Mac Web Gallery albums. It shows some and I can insert those, however, it isn't showing all of them. I've tried refreshing the list in iPhoto, but it still won't show in iWeb '08. I've even given it several days to refresh, but to no avail.
Any suggestions?

Nice, didn't think of that. I went into iPhoto and, in the Settings, changed it from being only viewable to restricted groups. I opened it up to "Everyone" and, back in iWeb, there it appeared in the Web Widget pull down menu. I then inserted the album and published the web page. I then went back to iPhoto re-instated the restrictions in the Advanced settings.
Thanks.

Published web galleries not available as web widgets in iWeb

hi all. sorry some are experiencing probs with iWeb '08. It does seem to have some bugs, but man it is cool for my uses! I have published a web gallery in iPhoto, but when I go to insert it in my iWeb through the Insert Menu up top or through the web widget menu it says there are no web galleries available. i've restarted my machine and still no go. I can visit my web gallery no problem on the internet. Any thoughts? just a bug that needs to be squashed?
seeegs

Same problem here. Does anyone know what this command does? Does it create an iframe tag with the web gallery embedded as a frame? Perhaps we could simulate the effect with HTMP snippets while apple fixes it.

IWeb '08 - Web Widget - MobileMe Gallery

Hi,
Since the software update, I made an iMovie and published it to my Web Gallery. I went to put a copy of it in my iWeb by inserting a Web Widget from my MobileMe Gallery - but the new movie I made wasn't listed. All of my old movies were there but that one.
Any ideas?
Thanks so much!!
Jeanette

for movies I now upload my movies to google video on private setting, I then embed the code in the same way you would embed a google map or You Tube clip.
It seems to work better than importing the video into iweb

Using Web Widgets in iWeb to Create meta tags???

I am using iWeb '08 version 2.0.3
There is a feature in iWeb 08 to add HTML snippets (when you click on the button at the bottom "Web Widgets".
I have added some Meta tags on each of my pages, for example (my keywords & descriptions have different content, this is an example):
<META NAME="Description" CONTENT="this is my description">
<META NAME="Keywords" CONTENT="these are my keywords">
<title>this is my title</title>
<meta name="robots" content="index,follow">
<meta name="GOOGLEBOT" content="INDEX, FOLLOW">
I published to a folder, then pushed the code out to my site. When I view the source code, I do not see any of these tags on any of my pages (I put this on all of my pages).
My question is why is this not showing up? I can certainly add this content via dreamweaver, but that would be a pain as every time I update my site, I would have to publish to a folder and then, in dreamweaver, put the code out there again on each page. What a pain in the a*@!
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Because whatever you add to HTML Snippet is actually added to another page called widget#_markup.html .
iWeb then link this widget#_markup page to the main page with a iframe, this is the same reason why google analytics javascript and statcounter javascript don't track correctly when add in HTML Snippet.
You better off using some scriptable applications or AppleScript to do post editing.

Anyone know of any killer countdown web widgets?

New to iweb, just now figuring out the use of web widgets and they sure seem cool but a bit hard to navigate as to what is what out there.
I'd like to know if anyone an point me to their favorites, in particular I am looking for a countdown widget, where the days and weeks toward a special event are counted down.
Thanks!
j

Most of canned countdown javascript widgets are based on well know date, they are well and good... but they are not good unless your birthday is on New Year day, July 4 or Xmas
Unless you have some javascript knowledge, then you can do quite a few things:

All javascript is available on my site... once again, javascript knowledge is helpful.

Make Web Widgets Fonts Conform?

Hi,
I'm trying to put a form on my iWeb page using by pasting some HTML into a Web Widget. Here's the code:
*<FORM METHOD="POST" ACTION="mailto:[email protected]?subject=Please email me when you have new tutorials"ENCTYPE="text/plain">*
Please enter your name (any name will do)*
*<INPUT TYPE="text" NAME="name" SIZE="30">*
Please enter your email address
*<INPUT TYPE="text" Name="usermail" size="50">*
*iWeb06<INPUT TYPE="checkbox" NAME="Application" VALUE="iWeb06">*
*iWeb08<INPUT TYPE="checkbox" NAME="Application" VALUE="iWeb08">*
*GarageBand<INPUT TYPE="checkbox" NAME="Application" VALUE="GarageBand">*
*Basic Tips (I am a beginner)<INPUT TYPE="checkbox" NAME="Application" VALUE="Basic Tips (I am a beginner)">*
*Add any comments below*
*<TEXTAREA NAME="comment" ROWS=6 COLS=60></TEXTAREA>*
*Clicking "Send it" will launch your mail application*
*<INPUT TYPE=submit VALUE="Send it!">*
*<INPUT TYPE=reset VALUE="Reset Form">*
</FORM>
It works great, but I want the fonts and font colors to be the same as those used on my iWeb page. Can anyone tell me how to do that?

Wrap the form in a [div|http://htmlhelp.com/reference/html40/block/div.html] and apply a style:
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 1.0em">
<form>form code</form>

WEB WIDGETS SECURE?

Don't know why I was directed here from the iWeb discussion forum, but I was.
So, to humor the redirection, in the event there is some merit to asking here, I will ask.
The question is about Adsense ads & security of web widgets in general when placed on an iWeb page.
Is Adsense secure - or is it a potentially significant compromise of one's website?
Is it any different between Tiger & Leopard?

Well, the security would depend on the widget, though I highly doubt there's much security risk from a widget. Granted as with any coded item someone could write one that takes advantage of security holes in the operating system or web browser, but that's the case with anything (programs, OS scripts, web services, etc). The widgets are just javascript and html code that implements features from other websites or services into your iWeb webpages. For instance, google maps is one that has no encryption and such, but just accesses google's maps service and displays it on your webpage. I'd imagine there are others that do incorporate encryption.
As a general idea, I'd say widgets are just as much of a security risk as any web page out there. This means that if you keep your browsers up to date with the latest security patches and updates then you should be pretty safe from any malicious web-based attack, be it based in a widget or any other code you can run through your browser.

Web widget http insert does't show up

I used web widget on my draft site. Then published the site to my hard drive, opened the site and viewed source code. The insert was not there. tried multiple time. It is a meta name I need to add to get verified by google. How do Insert http line if not by web widget?
Thanks

When you add custom code with the HTML Snippet, iWeb creates a widget-markup.html file with that code.
You find that file in the pagename-files folder.
A JavaScript loads that page.
You cannot add [META|http://htmlhelp.com/reference/html40/head/meta.html] data with the HTML Widget.
Such code is added to the [HEAD|http://htmlhelp.com/reference/html40/head/head.html] section of a webpage. You have to manually add it with a HTL Editor of your choice after publishing your page.

Thickbox web widget

Hi-I downloaded the thickbox web widget by Andres Cayon. It's awesome, except I want to change the attribute of the large window that opens when you click the thumbnail. Siince it's controlled by the javascript, which I am inexperienced with, I can't figure it out.
The widget came with the thickbox.js and the thickbox.css.
thanks in advance!

ITunes Web Widget

Can anyone tell me where I can find the iTunes Web Widget? From memory, Apple released it for download after iWeb 08 was released. The Widget showed what songs had been recently played in iTunes. I've been all over Apple.com and I can't find it, I'm certain it existed.

Nope. Recently purchased yes.

Form not working using web widget

I took a form from my current web site (www.oceangetaways.com) and copied the html source code into the html snippet (web widget) on the site I am designing on Iweb. Everything worked except the Submit button is missing. I do not know html - can anyone look at this and tell me what I may be missing - the new form is at http://web.mac.com/oceangetaways/OceanGetaways/How_ToBook.html. Just remember this is a work in progress.. Thansk

The form rendered fine in Safari, but short in Firefox. You can see the submit button if you hit Command - (minus) in FF (reduce font size).
You need to extend content height in page inspector a bit further down below the submit button.
You also need to config your cgi on your dreamhost side.
