Links to other iWed Sites

Hi
Apologies if this has already been covered - a search didn't readily reveal an answer, if there is one.
I have created an iWeb site, and for sake of layout etc. have several pages defined as a separate site within iWeb.
When I create a link to that sub-site by dragging it to the area at the top of the page, a link is created OK, but is formatted with a slightly different font, with no mouseover, and with underlining.
I would like that link to resemble to other links that are automatically generated by iWeb but cannot find a way to achieve this.
Is it possible?
see http://web.mac.com/adamget/iWeb/France/Welcome.html to see what I mean for the Japan link.
Many thanks
Adam

In order to make your Japan site linkv appear as a regular navigation menu link, you will have to trick iWeb a little bit by making a redirection page. This will require a little bit of HTML editing with a text editor like TextEdit. Fortunately, Will Englefield has written a tutorial for this...

Just follow his words and you should be fine.

Pdf has dead links to other web sites

I am publishing a pdf flyer to my web site, but the liniks don't work. I started with a word 2007 document. I tried saving as a pdf file. The links work in locally but do not when I publish them. I tried downloading the adobe plug in for word and saving it that way to a PDF. Same problem. I tried converting the word document to pdf in Acrobat 10.0 and then saving as a pdf. Same problem. I tried editing the links in Acrobat after conversion before saving as pdf. Same problem. I am using internet explorer 9 and windows 7. I tried in Firefox and it doesn't work there either. Can anyone help me with this?

The links are probably relative, but may have to be absolute for your application. I would try that on one or two of the links and see if that resolves the issue.

Contact or Custom List - How to: Checkbox Results Link to Other Sharepoint Sites or Pages

Hi,
I am building a fairly simple employee contact list with the following column headers: Employee Name, Location, Department. For the location and department I am using the checkbox option with preset options (location: California, Nevada, etc. department:
sales, HR, etc.). My hope is that once a new employee is entered and the checkboxes choosen, that the new results would have clickable links that would take them to the larger group (page or site).
Example:
A new employee joins the company, Mary Beth, the HR person adds the info of the employee in the contact list, once updated you see the following:
Craig Johnson | Florida| Operations, Sales |
Mary Beth | California | HR, Sales |
Sam Smith | New York | Compliance |
California can be clicked on, that would go to the California page that has that locations info and employee list for that state. If you click on Sales, that would go to the Sales page that has the sales teams info and employee list.
Any ideas on how to make the checkbox results show up as clickable links? (Preferably as simple as possible, I am still figuring sharepoint out)
Thank you.

Automated approach:
Create a new lookup list, Locations, and populate with locations
Add a new column to Contacts list of type URL. Call it Location (or whatever)
Add a new column to Contacts list of type Lookup, pointing to Locations list. Call it Select.
Create a new 2010 workflow that triggers on change
In this workflow, build a series of "Else Ifs" that check for the various locations available. if one matches, the Set function is executed for that ElseIf branch
For any specific location, set the "Location" column to: "YourURLForThatLocation," + TheSelectColumnValueInCurrentItem"
Create a new view, make it the default, so that it displays the Location column but not the Select column.
Add appropriate descriptions to the Select and Location columns to guide users on which ones to use and not use and how.
Note: when using a workflow to set the value of a URL column, you must separate the two values of this column with a ",". no other special characters or values. Just two values separated by a comma.

When I'm on an email FF stops me from linking to other pages/sites. Requires that I press Allow. This started recently. How do I disable this annoying feature?

When I am reading an email that I received and want to follow a link in that email, FF prevents me from doing so. It shows a new pane informing me that FF has prevented me from following the link. If I click the "Allow" button in the upper left-hand corner, I am then linked through.
This does not happen when I am on a particular website. In that case I have no trouble navigating the indicated links.
FF Preferences does not give me a way to disable this annoying feature that slows me down.
This problem started recently - possibly the last two weeks. It recurs whenever I use FF.
How can I disable this annoying "feature"?

You're welcome

Image Links To Other Sites

I have designed a website in DW CS3 and i wanted to make some
of my images link to other external sites......however when write
the link address in and upload the info then try the link it always
comes back with a blank web page with - cannot find URL - on
it...... any ideas, its really annoying me now. i'm not writing in
css. cheers

As tweaked suggests, the links to external sites should look
like this -
<a href="
http://www.example.com/thepage.html''....
A valid external link must specify the protocol and the
domain.

Advantages and protocol on listing a page of links to other sites

Hi, Once again, I have questions about my site www.freemodelguild.com. the question is more a general question for experienced web designers not about Muse specifically.
Most of the art groups in our area have a page that lists all the other art groups in the area, and so this organization is suggesting we do the same thing. I know having other links on a site can help with our search engine optimization, and we are trying to drive traffic to our site, so I think it's a good idea. However, should I just copy a list of all the other arts organizations? Should I write to their webmasters and ask them to link to us? Should I write and ask for permission to link to them? I just don't know what the protocol is.
Again this is such a non-web savvy group, they know they want a website, but have no idea what should and could be done so I've had wing this thing. I'm a print designer and, of course, things are done a little differently with print.
I appreciate all the feedback I get from this forum.

Generally you would have no problem adding links to other sites without asking. No website owner will tell you you can't as the more links they have coming to their site the better. I have always had mixed feelings on that type of thing. One thing to remember is the more external links you have the more work it is to make sure they all work. Dead links make your site look bad as well as bad for search engines so you would have to constantly be checking that the sites are still operational or the link hasn't changed.
So over the years I personally have found it better to just supply a small handful of links (maybe no more than 5) that I think will benifit my site visitors directly. Almost always it is a very well established long standing site so I know it is worthwhile/relevant and most likely not to dissapear.
Remember that when you do link to an external site to set the target to open in a new browser window. Also keep in mind that the more external links you have the more you are pushing your visitor to somewhere else.

Tracking links to other sites

I would like to track how many times users of my site are clicking links that send them to other web sites. I use Google Analytics but it is not a part of it. I know that some people add code to their links for tracking the clicks.
Thanks.
S. Houtzager

This could be logged by linking to an intermediate page on your own site.
For example (if your server supports PHP), you could link to http://www.yourownsite.com/jump.php?url=http://www.facebook.com instead of a direct link to http://www.facebook.com
Then make a PHP file on your server called "jump.php".
<?php
header("Location: $_GET[url]");
// OPTIONAL: you could have PHP write your own log file here
// if not using GoogleAnalytics or your server's own logging/reporting
exit;
?>

Excel files with fields linked to other excel files take a long time to open from SharePoint library

Trying to track a problem for a user.
Most of the documents opened from our SharePoint libraries appear to open in a timely fashion.
But...one user has noticed an issue, and I just noticed something with her files that are a little less common than other stuff we've seen.
she has a lot of pricelist excel files. there are some master price list files, and then other files that link to fields from within the master files.
the files that contain links to other files appear to be the ones that open very slowly.
the files are being opened via excel itself, not the owa viewer or editor.
is there a trick to setting up either the library, the site, site collection or web app... or some client-side setting that affects how quickly/efficiently excel will open files that link to other excel files shared within sharepoint?

Hi carphuntin_god,
According to your description, my understanding is that when you click a hyperlink which redirect to other files , the file are opened very slowly via excel client.
How about you download the same file and open it using excel client? If it is opened quite fast, the issue should be caused by some third-party add-ins in the office program or antivirus soft.
Here is a similar thread you can have a look:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/ff0c5306-5300-4010-a760-c4cca320b6fc/excell-file-taking-long-time-to-open-and-edit?forum=officesetupdeploylegacy

If you want to open the files using excel service after click the link in the excel file, you can create the hyperlink in the following way:
General Syntax:
http://<server_name>/<site_name>/_layouts/ xlviewer.aspx?id=<workbook path>&range=<location>
For example:
http://CorpServer/DeptA89/_layouts/ xlviewer.aspx?id=http://Mfct/Stats/Shared%20Documents/Parts.xlsx&range=Widgets!A1:F25
For more information:
http://office.microsoft.com/en-001/sharepoint-server-help/using-hyperlinks-in-excel-services-HA010173679.aspx
If you want to open the files using Office Web Apps after click the link in the excel file, you can create the hyperlink in the following way:
http://<server name> / <site name> / <library name>/<your file name> ?web=1
For example:
http://sp/Shared%20Documents/exceltest.xlsx?Web=1

Canon 860 Series (Pixma) Printer Problems with OSX 10.8 (Mountain Lion) – links to Canon Support Site with Drivers and Software with install tips

After spending several hours sorting out Canon Pixma OSX problems here are my thoughts:
Canon 860 Series (Pixma 868) Printer Problems with OSX 10.8 (Mountain Lion) – links to Canon Support Site with Drivers and Software with install tips
Problem:
- New imac and MacBook Pro 2012 (OSX 10.8.2) had a problem using Canon Pixma 868 printer on network and would not scan or print using Canon Pixma software (Pixma MP Navigator 2.1 & Photo Print), which has advanced scanning and photo printing functions.
- When I connected the canon printer to my imac, OSX 10.8.2 automatically downloaded and installed drivers for Canon 860 series printer. I could then add the new printer (select ‘apple menu’ / ‘system preferences’ / ‘print and scan’ / “+”) and printer would work while connected via USB but could not get to print or scan over network wifi.
- The original Canon 860 Series CD does not work with 10.8 and the manual / online instructions did not make sense (as based on CD install).
Solution:
1) Install Canon Printer Drivers and Software (from official Canon site)
Go to canon support site, review FAQ, then download and install following Pixma 860 Series software & drivers for OSX 10.8 (links see below). The version I downloaded is in brackets but check for updated version. Full instructions are below.
Canon 860 Series Drivers & Software for OSX 10.8 Mountain Lion:
The base software and drivers needed for using Canon 860 Series on Mac OS X 10.8 (USB) are
1 Printer Driver
(Canon MX860 series CUPS Printer Driver Ver. 10.67.1.0 (03-Aug-2012))
2 Scanner Driver
(Canon MX860 series Scanner Driver Ver. 14.11.4a (03-Aug-2012))
3 Network Tool
(Canon IJ Network Tool Ver. 4.1.0 for Intel Mac (27-Dec-2012)
Canon Software for using advanced printing and scanning functions (while connected to network)
4 Solution Menu
(Canon Solution Menu Ver. 1.4.1 (27-Jul-2012 ))
5 MP Navigator EX
(Canon MP Nav EX Ver. 2.1.3 (02-Auf-2012))
6 Easy-PhotoPrint EX
(Canon Easy-PhotoPrint EX Ver. 4.1.6 (21-Jan-2013 ))
Canon Support (HK) – check your local site
http://www.canon.com.hk/en/download/main/index.do
Select Product and drivers from support site eg http://support-hk.canon-asia.com/
1. Choose a product category
Multifunctional Printers
2. Choose a product series
Pixma
3. Choose a product model
Pixma MX868
4. Choose type of document
Downloads or FAQ
If you have problems installing the software under 10.8, see the FAQ on Canon site. You will need to allow software installs from “unidentified developers by using “Control” Key or by changing your system preferences)
2) Check Canon Printer and Software Working while connected via USB
Once you have downloaded and installed drivers and software and restarted computer, check that the printer and Canon Pixma software (Pixma MP Navigator 2.1 & Photo Print) are working via USB. Open the Canon IJ Network Tool App (Applications / Canon Utilities /IJ Network Tool / Canon IJ Network Tool App) and make sure you can see the Canon MX 860 series (xx.xx.xx.xx.xx.xx) and that it shows the correct SSID Wifi settings (under the Canon IJ Network Tool App ‘Setup menu’). This is normally done as part of the automatic install but worth double checking
3) Add new network printer using ‘apple menu’ / ‘system preferences’ / ‘print and scan’ / “+”).
After you have checked USB printing turn off printer, unplug the USB cable and shutdown the Canon IJ Network Tool App.
Then turn the printer back on and wait 30s. Then add a new printer using ‘apple menu’ / ‘system preferences’ / ‘print and scan’ / “+”). Once you select “+” (add new printer), wait 10-30s for the Wifi Networked Canon MX 860 Series printer to appear in the new window eg Canon MX 860 series (xx.xx.xx.xx.xx.xx) (Kind: “Canon IJ Network”)
DO NOT ADD THE MX 860 SERIES BONJOUR SCANNER (the Bonjour Scanner is the built-in software, is not needed and often appears first on the add printer list). The Canon scanner can be accessed used through the MP Nav EX Ver. 2.1.3 software (which has much better functions)
You will now have two Printer Canon MX860 (USB) and Canon MX860 (Wifi / Network). Set the Canon MX860 (Wifi / Network) as default and test print and scan
If the Wifi Networked Canon MX 860 Series printer does not appear, check the printer and make sure that the printer can see the wifi network. On the printer select Menu / Settings / Device Settings / Lan Settings / WLAN Setting List. It should say WLAN Active, identify the SSID and have an IP address
If the printer can not see the Wifi Network, plug the USB cable back in, then open the Canon IJ Network Tool App (Applications / Canon Utilities /IJ Network Tool / Canon IJ Network Tool App). Make sure you can see the Canon MX 860 series (xx.xx.xx.xx.xx.xx) and that it has your SSID settings (under setup), if it has this info, restart the computer and the printer and try again

Hi, thaks for response, meant to post as a discussion (not question), wanted to save others time if they get the same problem

2 issues: 1. Firefox crashes everytime I try to open QuickBooks online 2. When I click an email link on a web site, it opens a blank FF browser instead of an email program. Please advise.

2 issues:
1. Firefox crashes every time I try to open QuickBooks online. I have submitted numerous crash reports.
2. When I click an email link on a web site, it opens a blank FF browser instead of an email program. I have set the default to Microsoft Outlook and also tried changing it to Gmail. Each time I click an email link on any web site, however, it just opens up a blank page instead of one of my email programs.

I'm not clear on where you are seeing that text. When I view Google's cached page from the page found in this search
https://www.google.com/search?q=site%3Asitetrail.com%2Faskearth.com
It doesn't match yours exactly. There is an iframe with a Google map in it in the "Hosting Analysis" section, which in your pasted page seems to be the "Site Server" section.
Which Google site did you search?

Link to a new site that opens within my site

Can someone tell me how I can create a link to an external site, where the site opens up within the body of my site? Do I need a javascript for this?
Thanks in advance.

Hi David,
The iframe option is fabulous. I've used it for my ebay link as well as a "news" section.
I do still have one issue with the "news" section – I seem to have my background image from the body showing through in the padding of the div that holds the iframe. I've tried everything, but can't seem to get rid of it! I didn't have this problem with the ebay link and didn't have this problem before I added the iframe. Any suggestions?
Thanks again!

Links to other locations on same web page not working in FF6

On my 32 bit Windows 7 machine with 4 GB of RAM, all links worked with FF up through version 5 and links to other pages and/or sites still work in FF6 but not those to the same page (bookmarks). Load the same page in ie8 or ie9 and those links work perfectly.

Safe Mode had no effect. However, I added a link on the page to another site in order to see if it was only the "bookmark" (same page) link that wasn't working. As it turns out, neither type of link works in FF6 but they do work in ie9.
So I tested another site built by me and the links work perfectly.
I also tested both pages on another computer using both browsers and got the exact same results.
It is obvious that something about the pages on the new site are in conflict with FF6 but not with ie9 but, I can find no differences in the way the page is set up (including the DOCTYPE) or in the way the links are built.
Any suggestions about where to look would be most appreciated.
Thank you.

When I link to an external site, the link does not work, if I right click "Open in new tab" the link works.

When I link to an external site, the link does not work, if I right click "Open in new tab" the link works.

I have not changed any of my preferences and they look like they are as I would have left them.
I tried resetting Firefox and deleting the preference file, no change.
By the way, I hate that the tabs are on top and not where they belong above the pages they are for. There should still be a way in Firefox to put them back without having to use an add-in.

Why are most of the links on Oracle's site that relate to Java broken?

Why are most of the links on Oracle's site that relate to Java broken? For example, try searching for SocketChannel and then clicking on any of the returned links, in particular click on www.oracle.com/technetwork/servers-storage/ts-4222-159193.pdf.
This is the second time I have tried to search for Java information and both times found broken links.
Does anyone know where I can find more information on using a SocketChannel?

They have a huge investment in it and would need to replace or discontinue a number of products that they paid quite a bit of money for.
On the other hand in might just be that they don't much about providing support that doesn't lead to revenue. Thus support contracts have a support channel while public links get little support.

How can I set Firefox to open a new e-mail window from a contact link in a web site in Gmail rather than in Microsoft Outlook?

When I click on a "Contact Us" e-mail link in a web site, Firefox opens the blank e-mail window in Microsoft Outlook. I rarely use that program any more; I use Gmail instead. Is there anyway I can change the settings in Firefox so that it will open a Gmail window instead?
