IWeb won't seem to accept an HTML Snippet

I've just downloaded the following Snippet from 6sense.com.
<applet archive="snowshow.jar" code="snowshow.class" width=830 height=999>
<param name="density" value="low">
<param name="id_key" value="6s890667530995822119">
<param name="maximages" value="1">
<param name="image1" value="B.jpg">
</applet>
As a non-html-ie I have no knowledge as to whether the code in this snippet is OK or not. It is supposed to produce a snowfalling effect over a graphic.
I've dragged the HTML Widget to my page in iWeb (V3.0.1), and copy-pasted the snippet into the window. I presume that after so doing I should click "Apply"... I do so and then all I get is a beach ball... on and on... and when I go to Force Quit, iWeb is tagged as Not Responding.
Is there something wrong with the snippet code, or is there something else I should be doing to get it to work?

The code you use assumes that the jar file and jpg image are in the same folder as the widget markup file. That's not possible, since iWeb has to publish the webpage and it companion folder first. Plus you run the risk iWeb wipes the jar file and image when you change the pagename.
So you jar file and jpg images have to be somewhere else on the server.
Locate them on the server and determine the path. Then use the ../../ the way I described.
Of course you can put the files in the folder after publishing.
Personally I would create a separate Basic HTML page with the code and embed it in iWeb with the HTL MSnippet.
I found that pasting the Java code in a HTML Snippet directly does no go well with iWeb.
[Read this article|http://www.wyodor.net/iWebBlogTest/Wyodor1/archives/2009/05/entry35.html] how I do that.
Do not be misled by the title. Instead of Movie, read Java.

Vertical align page html snippet

hi
Does anyone have example of html code for vertically aligned content in iweb?

Cyclosaurus is not always complete with his instructions.
I don't do tutorial, therefore there is no instruction.
my examples work, which means the code is good.
you will have to decode my iweb pages, my codes and my methods. (same apply to apple sw guys)
i saw this page (http://temp.cyclosaurus.com/VerticalCenterPage/ShortPage.html), but i could not aquire necessary code... but it does not work
because the code won't work when inserted using html snippet, it only works when directly inserted on the page.
/ShortPagefiles/widget0CustomCode.html
that's where my widget CustomCode does the work.
give them feedback: http://www.apple.com/feedback/iweb.html
and ask for tools to build widgets.

HTML Snippet customized paypal buttons not showing correctly when published

Hi, My customized paypal buttons that i but on my iweb site using html snippets are not displaying correctly. They work in Opera but not in firefox or safari. Please take a look and tell me what you think might be wrong. (all the links are working it's just not showing the graphics correctly (apart from in Opera)
http://www.alisonbrent.com/ShopTableLamps.html
Also I've just noticed that when i return to my iweb application (after closing in down) the Html snippets aren't there anymore just an outline, just like they appear in safari?
Many thanks,
Ali
P.S

Bonjour
You inserted an image inside the ShopTable_Lampsfiles folder but it's is deleted every time you publish your page
1) Create an new folder named Paypal in your root folder:
FTP: With a FTP software (like Cyberduck) create a new folder in your server root folder
MobileMe: just make an new folder inside the Folder Sites (iDisk > Web > Sites)
Name this Folder "paypal"
2) insert your image "addtocartbutton.png" inside this paypal folder
Get the new URL of your image , something like
http://www.alisonbrent.com/paypal/addtocartbutton.png
3) Paste this URL in your codes, replace
src="http://www.alisonbrent.com/ShopTable_Lampsfiles/addtocartbutton.png"
by
src="http://the/new/URL/of/addtocartbutton.png"

I just used "Erase" via "Find my phone" to erase and rest my MBP. It's caused my MBP to be locked. I entered correct 4 digit PIN and it seemed to accept it, but it won't allow use of the internal drive. Yosemite loaded. Anyone else had same problem?

Greetings Fraser Alexander,
Erasing your Mac shouldn't harm your internal hard drive but erasing does clear Yosemite and everything else off of it. Are you not able to restore it with your Time Machine backup?
iCloud: Erase your device
If you erase then find your Mac, you can restore the information on the Mac using a Time Machine backup. For more information, see the Apple Support article Recover your entire system. If you set an EFI firmware password on your Mac before it was lost, then erase it and later find it, you may need to take your Mac to an authorized repair center to unlock it before you can use it again.

IWeb won't publish my daughter's sites (multiple users; one computer)

Our daughters have their own computer, so I created two user accounts (one for each). They also each have their own MobileMe account (under a family plan).
Each has created a site in iWeb. However, I can't get iWeb to upload either site. Each time I click publish, it says "sign in to Mobile Me" and the system preferences window pops up. It seems to log in to the account, automatically. iWeb has a window open saying "Logging in" When I click to return to iWeb, that "logging in" window disappears and nothing else happens. Nothing is uploaded.
Even if I try again, it says "log in" again. I don't understand why they aren't logged in automatically, all the time, under their username and why iWeb won't upload anything.

Jim:

After waiting a day for the rolling restore to happen, I called AppleCare because Apple had sent an email saying my service was back, and it wasn't. I still could send and not receive using Mail.
*Here is what fixed it*. Go to MobileMe (terrible name) in System Preferences, log out. Then enter a garbage name and password and try to log in. This apparently clears the MobileMe preferences. Then enter your real UserName and PassWord. For me this was lights on.
I am left wondering how long ago I could have had email had I known this preference reset scheme.

IWeb, HTML Snippet, and MySQL via GoDaddy (db already built)

I have a site (zigcodes.info) that is hosted by GoDaddy. I built the site using iWeb. No complaints there. I have a MySQL database and table built to store codes added by users. There is also one called "hit list" on another page, but I haven't finished coding it. I need to solve this problem before I can finish that page. So far, I've successfully linked my submit forms to the database. When a user adds a code, it does indeed populate into the database (hooray for small miracles).
Of course, doing this dumps the user onto a blank white page, but I think I can fix that with a redirect at the end of the php file used by the form. My problem comes in when I try to display the codes in the database on my page. I know how to query the db using SELECT * FROM, but I can't figure out what to do with the data after that.
I'm having a heck of a time getting the HTML Snippet widget correct in iWeb. I've seen suggestions that are all over the place, but can't seem to get any to work. I'm told that <iframe> may be a viable solution, but I am at a loss as to how. Honestly, my site is very simple and I don't need fancy functionality. All I need is a list, in table form would be nice but really not necessary, of the 30 names/codes most recently added to the db by users of my site. I can get the echo command to print headers for my data, but not the data itself.
Will <iframe> work, and if so, how? If not, what's my best bet? Should I go with a table in the HTML Snippet widget, with tags like <? echo "$code"; ?> inserted into my<td></td> content? Or, would it be best to use the <script src="activecodes.php"></script> solution with an external php file? Or am I way off on all of these? I do know that iWeb won't do it for me with it's own magic, but it seems like there should still be a way to add code into the HTML Snippet widget and display the db data on the iWeb designed page. Help?

Yeah, the code you suggested isn't live now because I always remove changes to my code that affect no change. It makes for a cleaner build later. Here are some variations of your sugestion that I tried:
<div align="center"><form name="newcodes" action="newcode.php" method="post">
<input type="text" name="newcode"/>
<br />
<input type="submit" value="Add it!" />
<input type="hidden" name="good_url" value="http://www.zigcodes.info/" />
</form>
</div>
AND
<div align="center"><form name="newcodes" action="newcode.php" method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="good_url" value="http://www.zigcodes.info/" />
<input type="text" name="newcode"/>
<br />
<input type="submit" value="Add it!" />
</form>
</div>
AND
<div align="center"><form name="newcodes" action="newcode.php" method="post">
<input type="text" name="newcode"/>
<input type="hidden" name="good_url" value="http://www.zigcodes.info/" />
<br />
<input type="submit" value="Add it!" />
</form>
</div>
I even tried this because I saw other people suggesting it in similar forums:
<div align="center"><form name="newcodes" action="newcode.php" method="post">
<input type="text" name="newcode"/>
<br />
<input type="submit" value="Add it!" />
<input type="hidden" name="redirect" value="http://www.zigcodes.info/" />
</form>
</div>
All of the above produce the exact same, unwanted result: a blank white screen with the URL of my .php file (the one that handles the form post).

IWeb routing back from html snippet code

I have created my site in my local folder (sites/site). In the site I use a HTML snippet in which I pasted HTML code from JotForm in order to have a contact form. This worked fine. Then I published to web.me.com... and now every time I hit the submit button (HTML code) the routine runs perfect and an email is submitted to me but I don't come back to the site but get an error code: The requested URL /users/maartenlamers/sites/site/startpage.html was not found on this server. It seems that the routing pointer is set wrong... and I found no way of correcting this... Any suggestions are welcome...

I believe that JotForm allows you to get your visitors to return to a page of your site do they not? If so, then to correct this you need to go back to JotForm and alter the settings there. You created the form there, so you need to make alterations there. It's not an iWeb issue - all you did was enter the code into an html snippet.
Also, your url is not a correct url so of course it won't be found. Any url needs to start with http://web.me.com/users/maartenlamers/sites/site/startpage.html. If you leave out the web.me.com, then it won't find anything that is published because you have in fact missed out where the site is published, being web.me.com.
Go back to JotForm and alter it there and then re-enter the code into an html snippet and you should find that it will work.

Youtube Video in iWeb "html Snippet" is Blank?

The html Snippet Widget shows an unhappy face icon when I publish the site to the internet in preview form. In iWeb itself the video shows up as a blank box on my site when I load the "embed" text from the Youtube video into the black box window and hit "apply".
Here is the Youtube Embed text if it helps to analyze it. <iframe width="560" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/GdC9WLhUum0?rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
I can successfully load the Youtube Widget but I dislike the 4 x 3 format with excessively large top/bottom black bands and control bar. I prefer the 16 x 9 format of the html Snippet, but it needs to function.
Help please.
Dan

Okay, it is simple. The video will not work because there are mistakes in the code that you have posted - if the code is incorrect then it won't work.
Where you have src="//www.youtube.com/embed, the code should in fact be as follows:
src="http://www.youtube.com/embed
I have just opened iWeb on my Mac and copied and pasted the code, but then changing it to http:// and the video works perfectly - comes up with someone in a canoe and is entitled River Discipline.

Why won't my html snippets appear in any browser?

My website is created in iWeb 3.0.4. My server is Machighway and I upload via FTP using Cyberduck.
The problem I have been having, even on my old server before I transfered to Machighway is when I add any HTML snippet into my page, it works just fine in iWeb, but when I publish, there is just a blank space where the widget should be. I have tried viewing the site in Safari and Firefox.
I have opened iWeb and taken a screenshot to show you the twitter widget:
Now here is how it looks in Safari after publish:
I have tried different html snippets, and I have the same problem with all of them. I have asked Machighway and they said they can't help me because it's a coding problem.
Can anyone shed any light on this? Thanks!

Oh, I see, you do not want the Sitename in the URL?
Read this :
     The concept of iWeb Sites
A Site, which is just a folder, is a convenient way to organize your pages based on topic, subject or whatever you choose to keep relevant pages together. I’ve been doing that for the past 17 years, and I find it rather natural.
But since iWeb is doing it, it seems to confuse & frustrate people. iWeb shouldn’t do it, they say. As if there is a law that demands it.
To avoid the Sitename in the URL, read my solution. It's very technical but in the end it saves time. And best of all, iWeb is not involved :
     Avoiding the iWeb Sitename in the URL
An easier, time-wasting, solution is to publish to a folder on your desktop.
Open that Site folder and move the content of that folder to the root of the webserver with a FTP application.
(The root of a webserver is where the file or folder, shown immediately to the righthand side of the domainname, is stored.)
Everytime you make changes to a page, you have to repeat these steps.
But the result is what you want.
And here's a re-post with some additional info about using an index.php file to avoid overwriting the index.html file iWeb creates :
    Avoiding the iWeb Sitename in the URL
Works on all servers. With or without a subdomain I may add. Like this one :
     http://wyodor.byethost8.com/htdocs/index.html
Not as easy as publishing to a folder, but in the end it saves time. Again.
See this post that explained the link above :
Re: iWeb keeps populating a site name at the end of my url. Causing error.

Html snippet works w/in iweb but NOT when site is live & online @$#!

help!? I have had a flash based slide show working on my iweb site for some time I used iweb enhancer to make it work w/ iweb 06 - now in 08 the "enhancer" doesnt work. The html snippet should & seems to...I am able to get the pages to behave very well while IN iweb the slide shows load while the program is active & when I publish the site to a folder the site works great - UNTIL I upload it and try to view it online THEN it doesnt work properly.
I have a google map snippet that works fine live OR when browsing from the hard drive/folder WHY wont the snippets work when they are uploaded if they work ON my computer?????
site is www.austin-studios.com click on seniors OR children...
-thanks in advance

Phil,
Everything is working fine on my end too. (OSX 10.5.2) Tried your site on Safari 3.1 / Netscape Navigator 9.0.0.3 / Firefox 2.0.0.9 and Camino Version 2007022813 (1.0.4)... each one ran your snippets with out fail
Would emptying cache on your computer help?
Good Luck,
John

IWeb HTML snippet doesn't work hosted outside MobileMe

Hi
I created a site with iWeb and used to HTML snippets.
When I publish the site on MobileMe all works fine
When I publish the site with my Dutch Web hosting company, those HTML components won't work.
The vistor to the page finds a error message instead of the HTML widget:
Not Found
The requested URL /test/Welkom_files/widget3_markup.html was not found on this server.
Apache/2.0.52 (Red Hat) Server at www.knipdoor.nl Port 80
Does anyone know what's wrong and how to solve the issue?
Look forward
Henk, NL

Does anyone know what's wrong and how to solve the issue?
It's clearly written :
The requested URL /test/Welkom_files/widget3_markup.html was not found on this server.
So go to your server and see if it's really missing.
And if you added/deleted/changed HTML Snippets, iWeb creates new widget-markup files with new sequence numbers. When you load the webpage, some widget-markup files might not be present anymore because of these changes.
Clear the cache of the browser and reload the webpage.

IWeb won't launch

I need help. iWeb won't launch. Everytime I try to launch it, I get the progress bar and it shows about 50% complete… then does not progress… then temporarily freezes my system… then quits and I get the standard dialog box message asking of I would like to quit, re-try or send a report to Apple. I've tried the re-try option sometimes with luck but not usually and I've sent NUMEROUS reports to Apple. I've read the reposrt and it says something to the affect of crashing on thread 4. HELP, my site is a work in progress and I pdate it frequently.

I have the same issue. iWeb loads and I open the media browser. As it is cataloging all my movies, it crashes. I believe it does have to do with "corrupt" movie files, and in my case, .avi files created by my Canon camera. When it gets to one, it closes unexpectedly. If I move these files elsewhere, it goes further until it gets to another one before crashing. Same thing with the ones in my iPhoto library. I haven't "cleaned" all of them out of my Movies and Photos folders, but they seem to be the offending files in my case causing iWeb to crash.
I'm not clear what the 'domain' file has to do with this, though. Mine shows '?????' so it didn't lead to any insight to the "corrupt" files.

Iweb wont publish picture borders wont show and mp3 in html snippet wont publish.

Hi all,
I'm new to this forum,
I'm following www.iweb for musicians.com website design, Roddy the man is ace.
I'm trying to publish my site with borders and flection on my first page and also a HTML snip box with a code for a mp3.
It all shows up and plays fine in my iweb program but when i publish to a folder then upload using a 3rd party ftp, these additions dont show up.
It's kind of like its maybe not 'saving' correctly in iweb and not publishing correctly?
Any help greatly accepted.
Thanks,
Paul
iWeb 3.0.4

iWeb always publishes correctly.
Since you paste the code in a HTML Snippet it is your responsibilty to make it work correctly.
My guess is that you also need to upload the mp3 file. So check that first.
Or wait for our resident technology ace.
While you wait, read this :

IWeb: Twitter HTML Snippets Don't Work

For several months, I've used iWeb (most up-to-date version) to host my personal website. It is jonathankeilholz.com. This morning, I realized that my Twitter snippets were no longer showing - neither when in preview nor when published. The YouTube ones work, but the Twitter ones do not.
The first time I noticed it was yesterday (11 June 2013). I tried multiple times to copy and paste the Twitter widget HTML codes and other options. Nothing worked.
Any thoughts? Thanks!
Jonathan

Hello,
I used the HTML code from Twitter's website. I'm still not having any luck.
When I copy and paste the HTML snippet, the result is a blue hyperlink that says "Tweets by JDKeilholz."
UPDATE: I tried other widgets and it seems the same thing is happening regardless of it being from Twitter.
Bizarre!
