Links don't work when site is published

Help! In iWeb all my links work from the home page to other pages, but as soon as I publish it, the links are dead. None of the links on the home page will work. See for yourself http://web.mac.com/rbrooks007

I put in a new logo that no longer overlaps the links. I moved my custom navigation well down into the main body of the page, but when I publish the page they still don't work. The only link that works is in the bottom panel of the layout. Is there any way to make links work in the center section of the page? Or custom navigation in the navigation bar area? I guess I'm confused as to where I can put links that will work.

My links don't work when I combine another file with the pdf

My internal bookmarked links don't work when I combine another file with the pdf.
The external links continue to work fine, though.
This doesn't make any sense to me at all ... but I'm hoping one of you kind folk can help?

I opened my file and instead of merging files I used insert pages and inserted all of the pages from the file I wanted. Then I saved the file with
the same name. Attached is a rough draft of some helpful hints I put together. This has been a very painful process for us to discover how to handle
this and there really is not much help from Adobe.
Instead of merging files you inset pages. In Acrobat select Document - Insert pages -From file. You can select all pages or some and where you want them inserted. After you do that save the file not save as and all of your links should work. If you combine files or merge files all of the links will break.

I think it's something to do with naming, but I can't figure out what. This is because it asks to be saved and gives me a Binder no as the name. If I
press Cancel at that point, I keep the file and the links. But as soon as I need to close it, it asks me again 'Do you want to save this file' and if
I say 'Yes', I lose all the links, and if yet if I say 'No', I lose the whole file. So at some point it has to be saved but whether I keep the Binder
no name when I save it, or use the original name, it makes no difference ... it is in the saving of it that it looks the functionality, and yet, if I
don't save it, I lose the file.
This makes no sense to me....I hope it does to one of you.
For instance, Christine, how did you keep your file if you couldn't save it?
Or have I misunderstood?

Dropdown menu links don't work when on certain page of my site

Hi guys,
I've created a site that has a dropdown menu.
However, when you go to a certain page on the site on a mobile device (tested on iPhone), the drop down links don't work.
You can check out the page here - if you go to this page on an iPhone, the Facility and Capacity buttons have dropdowns but the links don't work...
Does anyone have any thoughts as to what the problem might be?
Thank you for any help and hope to hear from you.

Hyperlinks don't work once site is published

I have set up some text hyperlinks in my site - www.fullabullies.com. If you go to the site, you'll see on the home page the purple star that says "puppies". this should bring you to the "litters" page. I also have the red star that says "akc bulldog standard" that should bring you to the american kennel club definition of a bulldog (an external page). Also, if you look on the "ladies & gents" page & go to Otis's bio - his red "pedigree" star should open up a .pdf file that has his pedigree. None of these links work. They work just fine in iweb, but not once teh site is published. I don't know what I"m doing wrong. I've even made it to where the entire graphic is a hyperlink, not just the text in the graphic. All teh other links seem to be working just fine. Help!

Both of those links work for me in Firefox 3 on a Mac, but the Bulldog club of Louisiana does not work.
In Safari, the links you mention work, as does the Bulldog Club of Loisiana

Email link doesn't work when site published

OKAY...I entered as a hyperlink my email address in my website..
It is a gmail account and everytime you hit the link on the website, it takes you to gmail to sign in.
I also have one on the site that is a hotmail account and it too goes to gmails sign in page.
Whats up with that?
I thought it was supposed to open an email for the person to send?
PLEASE advise what I might be doing wrong?

Highlight your text or image link, select "Link to: An email message" in the Link inspector. Enter your email address and the Subject.

Why won't additional pages work when site is published?

I created a site in iWeb and posted it using FTP to my domain. I created a page before my home page with some pictures and inserted a hyperlink off of a graphic to link to the home page. That link worked great! However, all of the the links in the header bar that are created through iWeb for the different pages would not work. I tried to re-publish a few times, but that didn't seem to work. When I previewed my website through iWeb those links were completely active and worked great. Any ideas? I am a beginner at this and am probably missing one basic step! Please help!

your gradient bar:
has shadow applied to it, that makes it larger than its look... to fix it, you can:
1) remove the shadow.
2) remove the image.
3) move it down, way down... 110px or so, which open an empty gap.

Links don't work when I export to .pdf

I am using the newest version of Pages (5.1). I updated some old documents from Pages '09 and made some edits to them. Then I exported them to .pdf and in Preview (7.0) none of the links are clickable! They show up as blue and underlined, but cannot be clicked.
When I create new documents in Pages 5.1 the same thing happens - if I insert links, they are not clickable in the .pdf. But if I write www.website.com in the text and Pages converts that to a link, that link does work in .pdf format.
I did fine one workaround - I export the Pages 5.1 doc to Pages '09. Then from Pages '09 export to .pdf. Then the links are intact. But I would love to figure out how to have it work from Pages 5.1

In Pages '09:
Right click to select link > Link Inspector > change URL > and it works in pdf
or
single click on link > takes you to url/bookmark/document/email
In Pages 5
click on link > click on edit or open > change URL > set its type url/email > doesn't work in pdf
I prefer 3 steps vs 4, with more options, that actually work.
or
2 clicks to test it.
The later is a pest in Pages 5 because you don't get the expected click on link goes to link.

Links don't work when grouped with a object

I am trying to create links on a element that will slide; however, when I group my link box to the image I created in Sketch I can no longer click the link. Is there a way to fix this? Thank you.

When objects are grouped, the group act as a single object, that's the reason for grouping. You can add a single link to a grouped object, but only one link. Any links added to individual objects will not action when they are grouped.
If you want to link to multiple slides, you will need to keep any objects that include a link, ungrouped, I've never found a problem doing this.

SWF loaded into MainNav SWF - Rollovers & Links Don't Work

Hi all,
This is probably a very basic question!
I have a Fla file with Text and Movie clips in it. The Text
is animated when rollover occurs and thumbnail images click and
link to the full size versions.
It works when published (Say "LatestText.SWF").
But when I call it from my Main Nave FLA/SWF, upon loading
the Text.SWF, the rollover anim doesn't happen and the picture
links don't work when clicked.
I have the latest flash player installed and the actual
weblink cursor appears as if the SWF acknowledges everything is
working, but nothing dynamic actually works.
Any Ideas? THANKS ALL! Much appreciated!

I'll try to flesh it out, although I don't think there's need
for any code behaviours as they all work fine - until the info.SWF
is loaded into the main.SWF.
So i'll try my best to flesh this out:-
I have a Navigation FLA which publishes to SWF (at the moment
Allow access to Local Files - tried network).
This Nav.FLA is the main bulk of the website, it has all the
links and window panes.
I have a downloaded window pane style component which is an
autoscroller (in case this could be the problem).
I can load my info.SWF's straight into the container, by way
of an Actionscript Anim Frame (1) and when the Nav.SWF is tested or
published, it indeed loads in the smaller info.SWF no problems and
scrolls around beautifully,
The Info.SWF's I'm creating is just basically embedded
dynamic text, with a few movie clips that have Behaviours when
clicked or rolled-over.
These Behaviours do not seem to work when the Nav.SWF's
window pane loads in the Info.SWF - they APPEAR clickable (mouse
pointer changes to hand) but nothing clicks and THEN works. The
rollover animations (actioned via behaviours from LABELS - not
frame numbers) also do not work?
Any ideas from those that know to those that struggle would
be greatly appreciated! It's the first time I've encountered a
problem with my Flash website that I can't seem to find an answer
to in all my tutorials and books!
There's a challenge!

Links don't work after publishing

Hi! I'm new to using IWeb and I have recently encountered a problem:
When I publish the content to a folder, the pages that I initially designed, don't appear exactly the same in the new folder. The links in the navigation menu don't work in the new folder (except the ones in the "home page") and some of the text is not displayed the way I designed it...
I'd appreciate if you could take a look at my website and try the navigation bar out to see that some of the navigation bar's links don't work. Why they work in the main page and 2 other and not in all of them?

I've got my fingers crossed! I think I've got it fixed! Thanks so much to you and everyone who's posted here. I DID have a text box within a text box and it was in the back(ground). This has just been so frustrating. This was my first shot at doing a web page....not to mention being new to the Apple arena. (I've had PCs, literally, for years). I appreciate your patience with someone learning the ins/outs of YOUR world.

Somehow your whole page text images etc has been
rendered as one big image, which overlaps the nav
bar

Check to see if the text box overlaps the nav
bar/header and move it down to fix it.

Pushed my site live and my links don't work

I used Godaddy to register my domain. I am also using their DNS settings.
Created the site in Muse and previewed everything before I published... everything worked fine.
However, once I published the site and changed my settings upon prompt in Business Catalyst, only the homepage loads and my links don;t work.
I am only linking to one other page.
I pointed my host name on GoDaddy to 192.150.2.140
I have deleted my site 3 times now and republished. Set my links to lowercase etc.
the site domain is www.taxiadzbyg.com
Any help is much appreciated! I've read so many things, I am completely confused now as of where to start.
Thanks everyone.

Hi,
I have checked the settings, they all look good to me. Also, I have checked the hyperlinks and they were working too.
Regards,

When I email a newsletter as a pdf, the links don't work

I am creating a newsletter that I want to email out and I have some text linking to webpages. However, when I send it as a pdf, the links don't work. Do I need to send it as a Word document? I don't want to have to send a document that large. Is there anyway to keep my file size small (ie pdf) and have the links work?
Thanks

Ah that is different.
It may be you are just seeing a preview of the pdf in the email, which is why the link is not working.
I would certainly not rely on people seeing even that. Most PC users do not see pdfs embedded in their email, just an attachment. Even Mac users see various results depending on how many pages the pdf contains.
I am working on newsletter emails for a client right now and the lack of standards and inconsistent results in email clients is extremely frustrating.

When curser is on hyper link the url will diplay on the bottom of the screen in the background.(where done is located when site is loaded) How do you control this function?

When curser is on hyper link the URL will display on the bottom of the screen in the background.(where done is located when site is loaded) How do you control this function?

Do you want to control that via code on a web page to prevent visitors from seeing the link or do you ask as a Firefox user?<br />
Tools > Options > Content : JavaScript > Advanced > Allow Scripts to:
[ ] "Hide the status bar"
[ ] "Change the status bar text"
The Status Bar will be gone in Firefox 4.0 and is replaced by the (View > Toolbars) Add-on bar that extensions can use.

When I create a multi-page file, links don't work.

When I create a multi-page file, links don't work. Whether I use "preview all pages in browser" or export "html and images", the cursor changes to a hand over the links, but the links don't react to the mouse click. Also, when I export a multi-page file, I get as a result a listing of .gif files instead of .html files.

Make sure you select the Images & HTML export option

Play Slideshow and Subscribe links don't work in IE

Hi, I published a site with the newest version of iWeb and the Play Slideshow and Subscribe links don't work for my friends who use IE. Also, only some of the pictures will open when clicked. Many of them do nothing when clicked.
Here's an example:
http://web.mac.com/jconstant/Scotland/Golfing.html
The site works with Safari and Firefox (both Mac and PC) but people with several different versions of IE experience the same problem.
Any ideas on how this can be fixed?

Thanks for your reply. The problem is the whole page is one image and there should be several clickable areas which point to different links.
To solve this we have put a textbox over the clickable area, disabled the background and stroke and then right clicked on the textbox and used the hyperlink option to turn the whole box in to a hyperlink.
We tried several free PDF convertors which couldn’t handle this combination. Then we trailed it with the full desktop version of Adobe Acrobat Pro and it worked a treat. Unfortunately the client didn’t have that software so we signed them up to the online PDF convertor from Adobe and that isn’t handling it.
Here's the sample document: Dropbox - sample-link.docx we have been doing the tests with.
