Links in navbar work in iWeb, not on site itself

Hi Folks,
I got rid of the iWeb default navbar and made my own. I am linking to other pages within my site. They are set up correctly in the inspector, and in fact, when I click on the links in iWeb, they take me to the correct place. However, when I am online, on my actual site, the links don't even show up as links. Just text.
Can anyone help?
Thanks!

You should be able to select the textbox containing the C3, D3 etc and bring it to the front - you should be able to select this and do it, because otherwise you wouldn't have been able to make them into links in the first place.
If you can't select it, move the shape containing the 'click on a group' text out of the way, select the C3, D3 textbox then bring it to the front, then move the 'click on a group' text back into position.

I am trying to add 2 External Dell monitors to my Macbook 13" Air. Will the Mini Display port to Dual-link DVI adapter work? If not what do I need in order to add 2 external monitors?

I Just bought a new 13" Macbook air and want to add 2 external monitors. Am wondering if the Minin Display Port to Dual Link DVI adapter will work. If not is there any other solution to add 2 external monitors to a MacBook Air?

nice, it's always the ones that fail to do a basic search that are the most hostile. i'm sorry you thought my asking you what monitor was 'drilling' my crystal ball was broken at the time.
there are TONS of posts and articles out there with your answer, but since that may be too hard for you, i've provided some here.

Web gallery links no longer work from iWeb

I previously added links directly to my web gallery photo albums as external links in iWeb. This no longer works. For instance, I used to be able to send people to a specific web gallery album by linking to gallery.mac.com/username#xxxxxxx where xxxxxxx is the number of the album. This recently stopped working however. iWeb seems to change the # sign to %252. Anyone know what happened?

Kurt:
FWIW here is some info I gleamed from various sites on naming sites.
Renaming a website or webpage
You can rename a site or page at any time by double-clicking its name in the site organizer and typing the new name.
The page name appears at the top of the visitor's browser.
The site name is included in the website's address (URL):
http://web.mac.com/[YourMemberName]/iWeb/[SiteName]
Renamed pages and sites (as well as the site's URL) change online the next time you publish.
IMPORTANT: If you rename a site, previously created links to your site won't work; be sure to notify your visitors, especially your blog or podcast subscribers.
Browsers convert spaces in site names to "%20." To avoid these symbols, use an underscore, hyphen, or some other character instead of a space. Also avoid non-Roman characters; many get converted to numbers when you publish.
Other characters aren't recommended for use in website names, including: forward and backward slashes (/ \), brackets ([ ]), tilde (~), exclamation point !, question mark (?), "at" sign (@), number sign (#), dollar sign ($), ampersand (&), asterisk (*), colon (:), equal sign (=), comma (,), and double quotation marks ("). Using these characters may result in names with strange numbers in them.
Hope this helps.

Links don't work zoomed, issue not solved?

I've been waiting for months on this issue;
when zoomed, zoomed to anything, links don't work in Safari.
I was told months ago, something is wrong with Safari toolkit.
I just updated and issue remains.
(just amazing)
<Edited by Host>

HI,
Try maintenance... the link works perfect here; Safari 4.0.5 SL 10.6.2
From the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari / Empty Cache. When you are done with that...
From the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari / Reset Safari. Select the top 5 buttons and click Reset.
Go here for trouble shooting *3rd party plugins or input managers* which might be causing the problem. Safari: Add-ons may cause Safari to unexpectedly quit or have performance issues
Since you are running Snow Leopard, *make sure Safari is opening in 32-bit mode, not 64.* Right or control click the Safari icon in the Applications folder, then click: Get Info In the Get Info window click the black disclosure triangle next to General so it faces down. Select 32 bit mode. Also, (in that same window) *make sure Safari is NOT running in Rosetta.*
  Web pages now include a small icon or 'favicon' which is visible in the address bar and next to bookmarks. These icons take up disk space and slow Safari down. It is possible to erase the icons from your computer and start fresh. *To delete Safari's icon cache using the Finder, open your user folder, navigate to ~/Library/Safari/ and move this file "webpageIcons.db to the Trash.*

Saved and published updated website, changes not saved in iweb. Have lost all work in iweb but correct site is on the internet. Can I retrieve site from internet and replace to iweb so can continue updating?

Just finished updating web site, saved and published. Showed up on the internet finr, went back to do a few tweeks and all my days work is gone! Fine on the net gone in iweb! I don't want to loose the days work. Is there any way to get the website from the internet and stuffit back into iweb, without redoing all the work? Why didn't it save? Wjat can I do to prevent this happening again? Where did I go wrong?

Publish you site to a folder on your hard drive and open it locally with your browser. Check to see if the site is all there. If not
Try the following:
delete the iWeb preference file, com.apple.iWeb.plist, that resides in your Home() /Library/Preferences folder.
go to your Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iWeb folder and delete its contents.
launch iWeb and publish to the folder again.
If that doesn't help continue with:
move the domain file from your Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder to the Desktop.
launch iWeb, create a new test site, save the new domain file and close iWeb.
go to the your Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder and delete the new domain file.
move your original domain file from the Desktop to the iWeb folder.
launch iWeb and try again.

Links in .pdf work for some, not others

Hello all,
I've tried a search on the forums to see if my question might already have been answered, but I didn't find anything, and was hoping someone here might have an idea for me:
I have two users, each using Adobe Pro 9.1.1 and IE 7.0.5730.13. They are sent an email that links to a web page that contains links to various pdf documents. One user can open all the links just fine. The other can open about half the links, the other half come up with an error that says the document does not exists. It appears to be looking in the temporary internet folder as opposed to going out and getting the document. When I try to copy and past the link to the document in the browser, I get the same error.
I went into the options for Adobe Pro and told it to open the document in a web page, but it insists on opening up Adobe Pro and trying to display it from there.
Again, two users have the same versions of Adobe and IE and yet have different results.
Anyone have a suggestion as to what the problem could be?
Thanks in advance for any help!
P.

Thanks for the reply!
It does not work; if I right-click and select save-as, it is looking in the temp directory for the document, and if you hover over the link, it is trying to send you straight to the temp directory for the document. Very strange, as looking at the same website on the other person's PC, the link goes out to the correct directory.
A little clarification; these .pdf files exist on a shared network drive. Users are sent to a web page that has links to the documents on this shared drive.
This particular user has the same permissions to that shared drive as the other person does, and all the .pdfs linked in the webpage exist in the same directory on that shared drive.

Rollover links don't work! iweb 08

I've added a few rollover links to my text and they don't work when I upload the html to my non-mobileme server. I don't see any of my rollover picture sources in the code, but I don't know where or how to add them... Here is the code:
<area href="mailto:[email protected]?subject=Sign%20Me%20Up!" title="Sign Me Up!"

Changes in nav bar are seen in iweb not on site

I had to change the name of the home folder (apparently vertical lines are not allowed). I changed it to "Home" and the changes took effect in iweb. The changes are not occurring on the live web page. The original HOme page folder name remains. The links from two other pages back to it do not work. WHY in the world will the nav info not update?????? I republished the site to a folder (many times to keep trying to make it work) and re-uploaded files to internet (many times). This is extremely frustrating. I've already spent hours finding a work-around to another problem with this program (regarding splitting up multiple sites since iWeb won't let you publish them). Does anything in iWeb actually work?
Thanks for your help.

If it's not looking right in the local folder, it will likely not look good when you update it at your website.

Best would be to post the url to your website so we can take a look.

IWeb not updating site changes, even overnight!

Hi iWeb-experts,
Having problems with iWeb and have waded through the site and other forums and yet to find a solution.
Site is marccheckley.com. I successfully moved the site before MobileMe closed shop and made updates to the site a few months back.
Now I'm trying to upload further changes but iWeb has stopped functioning. I get no status that the site is being changed, as it was previously. And I know this has not happened as I have it linked to my Facebook and no "updated website" has popped up on my Wall.
I even left it overnight to update website changes and still nothing. Even clearing brower's cache etc. I tested the FTP connection all good and nothing been changed since my last updates a while back.
All 'pages' of site remain red, not updated in iWeb.
Really not sure what's happened. Nothing but probs since the closure of MobileMe, my podcast is still on hiatus due to linking problems, now website issues with iWeb.
Anyone have an idea and fix?
Always appreciated.

If you are using the iWeb FTP to upload make sure the box next to "Update my Facebook profile when I publish this site" is unchecked. Checking this box prevents the FTP from working.
Also make sure you have no bad file names with spaces or special characters - particularly image files. This will halt the upload process.

IWeb not publishing site updates

Starting today - 5/18/09, A site I have in iWeb is no longer publishing updates. The site publishes to my mobile me account, and is redirected to my domain. This is the page in question - http://www.pitassidesigns.com/Portfolio/Web_Design.html
Besides the code iWeb puts out I have added the favicon code, and Google Analytics Code. For some reason when I made some changes to some images, they do not appear as they should. The first image should be swapped with the second, and now the second image is gone. The google code, and favicon code it still there, and I usually have to re-input it after updates. Also the page in iWeb remains red, as if it was not published. I tried to delete that page and file folder from my idisk, and iweb doesn't publish a new one as it should. I tried restarting and nothing. I tried publishing the whole site, and it remains the same.
Any help would be great, I don't feel like manually writing this page out in Dreamweaver, iWeb is so much easier.

Ignore this. As usual when I decide to post this it works on the 10th try. Not sure what happen there.

FLV Player works locally but not on site

I made a media player for the website I maintain and
the FLV Player works on my machine, but it doesn't even show up
online. What did I do wrong? Here is the url:
ruarts.org/f/media player flash/content/rcca
player.html

Me thinks you have hard-coded some incorrect relative paths.
For instance, one of your SWFs is here:
http://ruarts.org/f/media%20player%20flash/content/frog%20bride.swf
And the link to one your FLVs is this:
http://ruarts.org/Users/stmcmast/Documents/media%20player%20flash/movs/respond%20park%2010 20%201.flv
But the actual path to that same FLV is this:

IWeb not saving site / page content disappears

I have tried to create a website several times with my new Mac running leopard and ilife 08.
I am pretty familiar with iWeb but this has me confused. I create a site with several pages....then save it. Publish it to .mac and everything looks fine.
Then I close iWeb and when I open it later the pages are there, and in order, but there is no content on them at all...just a white screen. No theme is even selected.
My library/applications support/iweb folder does have a domain file but it is just called: Domain with no extension.
Anyone that can lead me in the right direction? Thanks

Hi all,
Just reading the topic at hand and I have exactly the same problem. Upload the website, its online but when I close and reopen iweb all the contents are gone from the pages!!!
However, I imported my old iweb domain from my old macbook pro and all the contents are there to be seen. Its only after I added more pages that the content on the new pages ONLY has disappeared.
A real pain in the neck cause I cant figure out why one batch of info (the old info) is in tact but the new stuff is missing!!
HELP APPLE PLEASE!!!

Found a fix for lightbox working locally but not on site!

This was reply origionally but I felt I should post it. It seems to be a common problem and I was unable to find a resolution so here it is....
I found a fix for something similar that occurred on my machine. I too was seeing no problems locally but when I posted it to my site, it just had the placeholder and no images....
Apparently, dreamweaver is smarter than the browser... (maybe incorrect statement) however..... the file extensions are case sensitive!
I had this-------- <A href="Img/CGM_1.JPG" border="0" rel="lightbox[Img/CGM_1thumb.JPG]" title="CGM Pic Set"><img src="Img/CGM_1thumb.JPG" /></a>
<a href="Img/CGM_2.jpg" rel="lightbox[Img/CGM_1thumb.JPG]"></a>
                  <a href="Img/CGM_3.jpg" rel="lightbox[Img/CGM_1thumb.JPG]"></a>
                  <a href="Img/CGM_4.jpg" rel="lightbox[Img/CGM_1thumb.JPG]"></a>
Well, I didnt think anything was so bad, all of the colors were right I wasn't getting any warnings.... wtf?
As it turns out, and this is only because I just started a new image set after testing an individual - - baby steps - - if you use the properties bar at the bottom of DW, it applies a different case for specific parts...... i.e. this is what it produced
<A HREF="Img/CGM_1.jpg" border="0" rel="lightbox[Img/CGM_1thumb.jpg]" title="CGM Pic Set"><img src="Img/CGM_1thumb.jpg" /></a>
                  <a HREF="Img/CGM_2.jpg" rel="lightbox[Img/CGM_1thumb.jpg]"></a>
                  <a HREF="Img/CGM_3.jpg" rel="lightbox[Img/CGM_1thumb.jpg]"></a>
                  <a HREF="Img/CGM_4.jpg" rel="lightbox[Img/CGM_1thumb.jpg]"></a>
Notice the HREF's are now UPPER case and the jpg's are now lower case. !!!! really?!?!?
Also, another thing to look out for is the folder/ in front of your thumbnail; make sure it is there. In my case I use my sam "Img" folder, not the "images" folder that lightbox creates.
Hope this helps, I beat my head against the wall for a total of 10 hours over 2 days trying to figure this out. I couldn't find anything on the internet. I'm going to post this so others having this issue get it resolved. I found those, just no resolution.

Thanks for your quick response
I tried what you said and I still had no avail...
There is a style.css file in the root directory but for some reason you cant access it...
I checked the file permissions of style.css and they are: 644
Its really wierd - I dont understand why it isnt reading...
Also regarding {www.care.cc} all of my clients websites are under the same web hosting service, so he set the default "404 page not found" redirects to {www.care.cc} which is their "Main Site" as such - I understand that this is bad practice but unfortunatley I have no control over these matters as I have limited access too my clients web hosting.
Thanks again for the Help

Links work in iWeb, but not from browser when published

http://web.me.com/mocote
All's well since August. Then yesterday, some links decide not to work anymore in browser. Can't create new ones either. What changed? In iWeb, all links look fine in the Inspector. You can click on all external links and file links in iWeb. Same links won't work in browser. Very frustrated. Please help.

Hello!
Thank you for checking my pages. I did clear the cache. Updated software. Repaired permissions. Rebooted (a million times). I also made sure I had no overlapping graphics. The problem appears to be on the pages linked from This Week (in the navigation bar), the pages are Probability and Measures of Central Tendency. The links are in Text Boxes with frames on them.
I tried viewing the pages using Safari on my iBook, on an iMac using Safari and on a PC using Firefox. I get the same links not working. It's just odd that they appear to function "normally" in iWeb. I was hoping I did something dumb that I could fix quickly. If not, I'm having to do the pages over.
Your suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Links work in iweb, but do not publish

NOW the "post new topic" shows! Links made in iweb to external webpages work in iweb, but do not work when I publish to my folder or upload them to my server for my website. The links to other pages within iweb & the email links work in my folder & uploaded. I have redone my page & all links several times & it always works in iweb, but then don't work in the folder when I publish or upload. Even links that start with http:// don't work & my setting are correct for it to recognize them. Thanks so much for any help.

I don't understand. When I made the page the first time, I put the pics on it (page is 1270 pixels wide & fits on my 17" monitor & displays fine in iweb & when I go to the website). & then made the text boxes & sized them to fit around the pics & typed the text in. I tried doing the "wrap" in inspector, but the type just went over the pics & didn't wrap around it. I put the links for the ffrco, nuvet, email & menu in separate "insert link" boxes. The other links were from a copy & paste from the Nuvet website. All links worked perfect while in iweb. but only the email & menu links worked when I published to the folder & uploaded them. iweb is way different to use than Pagemill3, which is what I created my original website on 6 1/2 years ago. But my first computer melted down inside & I don't have the program that created it & the new computer won't take the software that worked on OS 8.6, so have to do the whole website now from scratch & having a terrible time. There are other issues, but the links thing is the most frustrating.
When I redid the page again, I copied & pasted the whole page onto a new page that I had sized & added the background to. The links all worked in iweb & when they didn't work when published to the folder or uploaded, I rechecked the web addresses for all the links & even reentered them, though they were the correct links already in there.
When I made my homepage, I made it to fit a 15" monitor, so anybody could see my website without scrolling. A good friend told me I had the last 15" monitor still in use & to make it fit my 17", so I did.
Thanks so much for looking at it. I really appreciate all your help. I have printed the manuel & been reading that & going to the Help section & I just can't figure it out.
