Links not working when published

I know, I know, this topic has been discussed before but I am very very new at this and most answers I just don't understand (I am used to visiting not building sites). Anyway, I am having a **** of a time getting some links in my webpages to work (better said, most work, some not). I don't understand, I've checked all links, no problems (not even when published locally). But when I FTP it to my host something seems to get lost in the transfer. I've deleted the pages where this problem occurs and made new ones. Doesn't help. Does any one have any idea and know how to explain the answer to me in the simplest terms? I would be so very grateful!
thanx

The correct ftp settings would be your username and password and what you use to connect to your server. If you have already uploaded your site, then these settings would be correct. If using Cyberduck with incorrect settings, you would not be able to connect to your hosting space full stop.
Anyway, you said that you were just uploading the contents? If this is the case, perhaps if some of your links do not work, then you have not uploaded all the files that you need to. If uploading the contents of your site folder, then when Cyberduck asks you to upload, or you click it under action at the top, it will ask you to select the files - normally you would go to User and then Sites and then click on your site folder. When this shows up, click on the first file that is shown and do a select all and this will then upload all the contents. Check to ensure that all the html pages are there, plus their relevant folders - these folders contain all the CSS - so for each html page their is a folder of the same name e.g. About Us.html and About Us folder. There are also feed files that need to be uploaded too.
What you can try to see if it works is to upload your whole site folder and separate index file and see if the links work when you do this. Your url will be different if you do this, but just try it and see.
The other problems when links do not work is that you could have either an image or another text box too near to the navigation menu or link that covers it up so that it will not work. Go into iWeb and check this by doing a command A to see placement and you can then move images and text boxes around if this is the case.

  • IWeb moves pictures by itself, links do not work when publishing to folder

    When I first started using iWeb i would save the page I was working on and then publish it to a folder so I could look at it in Safari and it used to work fine. Now when I do this the pictures come up and they are pushed up halfway off of the top of the page and you aren't able to scroll down all the way to see the bottom of the background picture that I have. Also, the links to the other pages of the site do not work after publishing it to a folder. If anyone has any advice I would greatly appreciate it!

  • Links not working when I export to HTML or PDF

    I am a longtime Mac fanatic, but new to using Keynote. I am creating lectures for a class I teach where the computer in the classroom is Windows, so I have to export my Keynotes to another format.
    First I tried exporting to Powerpoint. That was a disaster. Since, I've tried exporting to HTML, exporting to PDF, and print -> Save as PDF (to get a PDF that prints nicely).
    My problem? Hyperlinks within my Keynote work fine when I play the presentation in Keynote. They also work when I export to PDF. However, they do not work when I generate the printable PDF OR when I export to HTML.
    I guess I understand them not working in the printable PDF, but not the HTML. Am I doing something wrong?
    Ideally I would like to export one PDF that I could use up on the projecter (with links working) and that students could view and/or print from their computers.
    Should I really have to have 2 PDF's - one for students who want to view it on screen with working links and one for people that want to print it out?!?!
    TIA for any help/advice!

    Do you have any filters applied to your clips?
    This happened to me before, I accidently had applied a broadcast safe filter to a color matte that was black....
    I figured it out by duplicating my sequence and deleting items from my timeline 1 by 1 until I was able to export a reference movie.
    Anywho, export again, this time with "self contained" movie selected.
    Then try to import to Compressor.

  • Picture hyperlinks not working when published? Please help....

    Some of the hyperlinks to my pictures do not work when I publish to my folder. I´ve tried to empty Safaris cache but it still doesn´t work. Please help me, pretty urgent....

    hi briebrie,
    this is common mistake, see my post in this thread:
    http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=4004970#4004970
    The work around is to leave iWeb default nav bar and header enabled, add your home made nav bar (outside/below of iWeb default nav bar).
    Then turn off iWeb nav bar and header when you are done.

  • Close window not working when publishing as HTML5 on Adobe Connect using CP8

    Hi all,
    I'm trying to get a button that closes the project/window at the end of a video. I am using CP8.
    I can get it to work when publishing as SWF to Adobe Captivate.
    It also works when publishing as HTML5 but not on an LMS (Adobe Connect).
    I have tried various methods including
    - On success execute a Javascript =  window.close()
    - On success - exit
    - On success execute advanced action = Assign cpCmdExit with 1
    I also tried adjusting the slide settings On Exit: exit and the publishing settings Project End Options: Action: Close project.
    Nothing works.
    Any ideas?
    Many thanks,
    Aimee

    Hi Aimee,
    Can you test this to close the course window:
    Insert 2 buttons or smart shape used as buttons (as Finish course buttons).
    On the first button apply an action to execute javascript and in the script window, use this script: parent.close()
    On the second button apply an action to execute javascript and in the script window, use this script: top.window.close()
    Upload the published project on your LMS and check if any of these works for you.
    Thanks

  • Rollover Slidelets not working when published

    Hi,
    I'm using CP5.5 for a course that uses numerous rollover slidelets.  Everything works as expected when previewing the slides in Captivate however the rollover slidelets do not work when the course is published and viewed in a browser.
    Any idea what could be causing this?
    Thanks,
    Matt

    Your project file may be experiencing some corruption.  Did you insert each of these slidelets using the Insert menu or did you perchance just copy and paste them from the same one?  I've seen that practice cause issues sometimes.
    Try creating a new blank project and then insert a few test slidelets using the Edit menu.  Do they work when this project is published?  If so, at least you know your Cp install is fine.
    Try hiding slides in your project as per suggestions in this post:
    http://www.infosemantics.com.au/adobe-captivate-troubleshooting/basic-troubleshooting-tech niques
    It may be that the corruption is limited to one or more slides and you can resolve it by rebuilding those slides.

  • Link from QBE-report to form not working when published as portlets

    I've created a simple QBE-report where I've linked (using a LINK) keyvalues to a detail FORM. Query and linking and automatically display of selected record works fine in the App.builder, - but when I publish the elements as portlets and access the QBE-report as a portlet on a page, - the link fails, no keyvalues are passed to the detail form. It only shows up blank.
    What am I missing here?
    Thankful for any hint.

    This is strange, - made the same report again, this time as a sql-query (not QBE) - and linked the report and form together exactly as before - this time the link works when using the report as a portlet.
    The QBE-report generates empty parameterstrings (i.e. foo=&bar=&) when run as portlet on a page. Is this a bug?

  • All hyperlinks are not working when published

    All of the links work on iweb 09; however, when published some of the links are not working. To get an idea of what I mean you can go to the site, thinkwhatif.org and see it. Would someone be able to provide an answer how to solve it? I have unlinked and relinked too and that didn't work (at least the one time I did it).
    Thanks in advance for helping me figure it out.
    I am learning..

    Bonjour,
    It's a layout issue. Two of your buttons (who or what) are in the navigation part of your page (nav_layer), which is back layer of your page. In your page, the content (body_layer) overlays the bottom of this layer (nav_layer) where the buttons are.
    !http://i22.servimg.com/u/f22/09/02/44/99/layout10.jpg!
    Show layout (iWeb > View > Show layout) and replace the buttons in the content. As you can see , you 've got also a empty textbox in the content

  • ATTN APPLE GUYS iWeb comments link not working on published photos site

    When you publish a photo site (theme black) to mobileme and check the allow comments check box the link does not work on the published site. You cannot add comments.

    This is a users help forum and people from Apple do not look at these pages. If you have problems, then you need to contact Apple directly and let them know.
    Lots of others here have had problems with comments not being allowed on blogs and it is not just one theme either, it seems to be across the board. There are lots of threads about it here and I believe some have contacted Apple and they say they are working on fixing it. It is to do with the transition from .Mac to MMe.

  • Spry horizontal menu bar and accordion panels not working when published

    Hi,
    I'm a newbie to Dreamweaver and have been asked to design an intranet site. On the site, I added both Spry widgets for a horizontal menu bar and an accordion panel. Both of these widgets work in preview, however, neither work when I publish. I uploaded the Spry asset folder (with all the CSS and JS files) to the remote server, but still no luck. What am I missing?
    Thanks.

    Despite of what you have staed, my bet is on the fact that the SpryAssets folder and/or the included files are not being found by your page..
    Open the site in FF, click on view Source and in the source code click the link to the JS file. If it can be found, it will show the content of the file and you will have the satisfaction of knowing that the page can find the file.
    If it does not show the content, you need to correct that.
    Good luck.

  • Continue Button not working when publishing to swf

    I have created a quiz in Captivate and set my pass/fail options to opening a URL on successful completion.  I need to publish it in flash (swf) but the Continue button does not open the URL.  It works perfectly if I publish the file in .exe format. 
    Here are my current settings (I've swapped my URL to the BBC website whilst testing)
    I am using version 5.5
    Can anyone help?

    Hi Rod,
    That's really helpful - thank you.  It's working for me now.
    I hope you don't mind a cheeky follow-up question?
    I'm hoping that the quiz will be available for multiple users in different locations.  Will each person have to change their Flash settings to get the link to work?
    Many thanks for your help,
    Jessica

  • Preloader not working when published

    Hi...I have situation with my preloader. I am loading audio
    from an external folder. When I click on the audio a preloader
    loads the audio and upon completion plays audio.
    My problem lies in that when I test the movie everything
    works as expected. Once I view the actual .swf or the .exe after I
    publish, the preloader doesn't work. The audio still loads but the
    preloader does nothing. It might be important to not after I
    ctrl+return to test, I ctrl+return again to test as if it were
    online. It works when I do the simulate download and not right away
    then.
    Does anyone know what I might be doing wrong? Is there a
    setting in the publish settings I need to change?
    This is the first time I've had this happen. Usually I have a
    pre-loader at the begining of a flash file and load the file. This
    one is in a movie clip and only activated upon a mouse action.
    Any help or suggestions is greatly appreciated.
    Luke

    Thank you for your information. It worked great as far as...I
    could build a preloader and have the movie show up on the screen as
    I wanted. Now for problem number two that has developed...
    The MovieClipLoader that calls external .swf file. This is a
    movie that has an image scroll bar that calls a movie clip that
    scrolls a panoramic photo. Within that movie clip of the panoramic
    I have buttons that then call other movie clips from the library
    using
    on(release){
    _root.attachMovie("myModelScroll", "screen",1);
    _root.screen._x =10;
    _root.screen._y =425;
    This is an example of what I am doing
    I have a panoramic shot that is in an image scroller, that
    panoramic is of a group of buildings each building has a button
    next to it. Those buttons then call up another movie clip from the
    library using the attachMovie clip to show another mini movie clip
    of what the building looks like inside, and what the purpose is.
    Issue:
    The buttons within the movie clip that is loaded into the
    image scroller fail to work. If I just load the .swf files into the
    browser it works just fine...
    but the issue is I have a huge file with an image scroller so
    I need a progress bar and a MovieClipLoader function.
    How do I now get the other code attached to the buttons
    within the movie clip that says attachMovieClip to work within the
    context.
    I am so baffelled as to why it won't work...
    Here is the code to my preloader and movieClipLoader
    My actionScript skills are very limited so any help is
    greatly appreciated but needs to be supplied in simple language.
    Thank you very much

  • Captivate 7 exit button does not work when published to LMS

    I recently published a course using Captivate 7 and uploaded it to our LMS.  During the review of the course it was noticed that the Close or Exit button on the controller did not work in IE.  However, it did work in Chrome.
    I have looked through this forum and found that there were similar issue with older versions of Captivate.  However, we have course published with Captivate 6 on our LMS in which the Close or Exit button does work.
    Does anybody have a solution for this problem?  Do we know if there is an update scheduled to fix this problem?
    Please let me know
    Dawn

    1.  Create a button in Captivate and assign a javascript call to "MyExit()"
    2.  Create a .js file called CourseExit.js.
    3.  Place the following code into that file.
    function MyExit()
      var SD = window.parent;
    if (blnReachedEnd == false && confirm("Would you like to save your progress to resume later?")){
    SCORM2004_CallSetValue("cmi.exit", "suspend");
    SCORM2004_CallSetValue("adl.nav.request", "suspendAll");
      else{
    SCORM2004_CallSetValue("cmi.exit", "");
    SCORM2004_CallSetValue("adl.nav.request", "exitAll");
    Unload(true);
    4.  Place the CourseExit.js into the "assets/js/" in the published folder
    5.  Add "<script language="JavaScript1.2" src="assets/js/CourseExit.js"></script>" to the html file that was output on the publish.
    I was able to set this up on the set up files on the local hard disk but so all I had to do was create a button and add the "MyExit()" code to the button, but when the next update came out it reset the hard disk files.  So, I have just resorted to updating the output file as seen above.
    Hope this helps.

  • Audio not working when published

    When I record an audio clip within Captivate, although I can
    hear it when previewing that one slide, I can't hear it when
    previewing multiple slides or viewing the published movie. I know
    it has nothing to do with push-buttons or other elements on the
    slide (I've tried recording on blank slides, with the same result).
    I've also tried exporting the audio files and listening to
    them in Windows Media Player, and they work just fine (both the
    .wav and .mp3 versions). This problem just started happening today.
    For the last several months I've recorded tons of audio on several
    different movies with no problems, but now it's not working.
    I'm even worried that this issue is somehow corrupting some
    of my CP files. Even after I delete all of the audio clips from the
    slides they were on, and saving the CP file to a different name (it
    contains 30 slides and is about 2MB), when I view the Bandwidth
    Analysis, the Video size for Slide 1 shows 546KB, even though Slide
    1 contains very minor things (an image and a text caption)--the
    same kinds of elements as on every other slide, all of which have a
    Video size of approximately 20KB.
    So I inserted a blank slide after Slide 1 and copied the
    elements (an image and a text caption) from Slide 1 to the new
    slide, then viewed the Bandwidth Analysis again, and the new slide
    was only 20KB or so, much smaller than the original Slide 1. But
    then when I deleted the original Slide 1, the new slide I created
    suddenly takes on the same huge Video size in the Bandwidth
    Analysis as the previous Slide 1.
    Bottom line--I can no longer publish any audio in about 1/2
    of my Captivate movies. Can anyone please help?

    Teri, do this for me, if you would, please:
    Check "
    Movie > Preferences > Preferences tab > (check)
    "Include Audio When Movie Is Generated".
    Did that help?
    To Everyone Monitoring This Thread: Another easily
    overlooked troublemaker is the "Audio" icon (tiny speaker) located
    beneath the timeline when you are viewing a single slide
    (duh - sorry, brain fart - of course that's when yo see it because
    the timeline isn't visible until you go to Edit mode - double duh).
    Anyway, if you click it, you will turn audio off for
    all single-slide previews - note ... I said ONLY previews of
    the currently open slide. This will NOT affect other previews, nor
    will it affect audio in the published product . . .
    Hope this info helped some - have a good weekend!

  • Rollover states not working when published online. Suggestions?

    I have created rollover states for image navigation. Works great in preview. Works great when published to desktop. I have uploaded to FTP site. Some of the rollovers work, others do not.?

The css pages do have the code to swap the images. Same issue in Chrome, Safari, Firefox, and on ipad.
