Links within pages in iWeb

Maybe I'm missing something obvious, but I can't figure out how to create hyperlinks within a page in iWeb. Specifically, I'm trying to write a FAQ, and want to link individual questions listed at the top of the page with their answers further down in the page. Help???

Those are called anchors and not supported by iWeb. Put in a feature request to Apple via http://www.apple.com/feedback/iweb.html.
It can be done with HTML snippets and javascript as Cyclosaurus mentions here: http://widgets.cyclosaurus.com/Anchors/Anchorsfiles/widget0markup.html. But one must be proficient with javascript.
There's a crude workaround with snippets that Peter Berglund describes in his blog: http://web.me.com/petber/iWebtips/iWeb_Tips/Entries/2009/2/22_How_to_use_Anchors_iniWeb.html. This Contents page uses that method for some of it's links - those that are green.
Alternate solutions are with using rollovers like shown in this demo page: Show and Hide Text or using Fancy Zoom shown in the right hand example in this page: FancyZoom You could replace the photo with an image that says Click for Answer" or whatever and have the answer in a jpg file. Both are somewhat low tech solutions.

Linking photo page to iweb?

Can we add an alias to our photo page which will link us to our iweb?
I love my photo page, bring back the feature.

You can do it by adding an HTML link to your photo page file that points to the iWeb primary file. It would be something link this:
YYYYYY where
XXXXXX is the url of your iWeb page (enclosed in the quote marks) and the YYYYYY is the active text for the link. Remove space following each "<"http://homepage.mac.com/toad.hall/.Pictures/Forum/OT1.png">

Anchors/links within pages

I really need to link from one iWeb page to an anchor inside another, but can't figure out how or if this can be done. To see what I mean, go here:
http://web.mac.com/wildwing1/Recipes/Index.html
What I want to do is make an anchor on each of the recipes in the other pages, then link this page to each of them by name so people can click on each recipe name and go directly there instead of having to search each page. I'd also like to link each recipe to a printable file, but think I may have figured that one out.
I used to work in GoLive and Photoshop, and while I like iWeb and iPhoto a lot more they do seem more constricting in areas like this.
Thanks in advance,
Suzanne

Anchors are not directly supported in iWeb, but there are numbers of work-around.
Post editing gets old real quick, especially when you like to have many anchors as in your site.
From looking at your Recipes pages, they are long windows, so the easiest thing to do is to have a javascript to scroll to the right spot when the window is open, I made sample of your pages - I only made three anchor links:
http://hdl.50webs.com/Anchors1/From.html
In the From.html page, the text links need to be added as link to an external page (in inspector); so you can specify the full path including the anchor, eg:
http://hdl.50webs.com/Anchors1/To.html#1
The scrolling script is attached to the To.html page using HTML Snippet, see its source code of the following:
http://hdl.50webs.com/Anchors1/Tofiles/widget1markup.html
You need to fill in the anchors array with the Y position of each recipe.

Aperture web gallery - how to link back to main page from iWeb?

Okay, this may be simple, but I can't figure it out.
I created and uploaded a few web pages with iWeb to my dot.Mac account (web.mac.com/f8lee50) just to get a feel for things. I then created a web gallery with Aperture and uploaded it - naturally Aperture generated a URL for the gallery, which I set up as a link on my "Photos from Hawaii" page (the link is the word 'this' in the second paragraph, if you wawnt to look).
Okay, so this gets me from the "photos from Hawaii" page to the gallery, and within the gallery I can jump to the various images etc. But how does one navigate back to the "Photos from Hawaii" page from whence they came? Is there some sort of smart link that can be inserted (by Aperture?) that will send the viewer back to the main homepage? Or are the Aperture galleries essentially dead ends?

Richard, thanks for responding - I'll check that tutorial.
And thank you for the kind words, me100finn. I have not played with any variables as far as layout on the gallery (I did a bunch of stuff with the books, but the web gallery seems far less flexible) so I cannot answer your wuestion about the gray shadows.
Steve, thank you for the additional clarification (and the hint about spaces in URLs) - I guess what this all boils down to is that the web galleries from Aperture are not all that useful when they are meant to be a part of a bigger overall site. I'm not sure of what you meant when you say they have little forward or backward navigation in them - at least you can click on a thumbnail to get to an image, click next or previous or the grid to get back to the thumbnail galery. But, 'twould seem that hand coding HTML pages (the very thing I was hoping to avoid) is the only way to really integrate them. Given that, I gues the better approach will be just to use iWeb to load the images anyway.
Well, folks, thank you all for your answers. Until I do a re-do, I guess the back button is the way to go (which, for the record, I did sorta figure out myself

Links within a page

I'm just getting started so this is pretty basic - how do I put "back to top" links on a page so I can reduce scrolling on long pages (without reloading the page entirely). Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

Hi Maria,
I tried it yesterday and it didn't work for me. I tried the text box with back to top in it and hyperlinked it to the same page that I wanted it to work on, but no luck. There was nowhere for it to go.
The other suggestion of linking to your own external page followed by html# worked, as the page re-loaded and went back to the top. It didn't quite work out as planned though, as I was testing it within iWeb and when I clicked the link it took me to Safari and my already published page and then I wondered why back to top was missing and realised that my demo page in iWeb was not published.

When I click on a link within a Web page, Firefox just spins until I reload the new page.

When I enter a new URL or select a bookmark, Firefox loads the page promptly. When I click on a link within that page to go to another page, the Firefox tab green spinner often just spins and spins. It either takes a very long time to load (2 or more minutes), or never finishes loading. It's usually a greater problem when I "Open a link in a new tab". I can usually make the new page appear by reloading, either clicking the red X and the circular arrow, or Ctrl-F5, etc.

Try the Firefox SafeMode to see how it works there. <br />
''A troubleshooting mode, which disables most Add-ons.'' <br />
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default Theme.)''
* You can open the Firefox 4/5/6/7 SafeMode by holding the '''Shft''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or use the Help menu item, click on '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' while Firefox is running. <br />
''Don't select anything right now, just use "Continue in SafeMode."''
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut (without the Shft key) to open it again.''
If it is good in the Firefox SafeMode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. <br />

Tip: How to link to a non-iWeb page in the main navigation menu.

I've figured out an easy way to add a link to the main navigation menu which links to a URL of your choosing. For example, I have an older .Mac site using the now archaic HomePage. Instead of rebuilding all of my old pages in iWeb, I thought it would be nice to add a link to the old site from the top main navigation of the iWeb pages. Sounds easy, right? Apparently Apple has other ideas as iWeb doesn't allow you to do this.
Here's a work-a-round:
Step 1.) Open iWeb and add a new page to your iWeb site. Pick any template, it doesn't matter which one.
Step 2.) Change the page name to whatever you want using the page inspector. Whatever you choose as a name here will be reflected in the main navigation menu. For example, I named my page "Photo Archives".
Step 3.) You don't need to edit this new page at all. In fact, we're going to erase all of the content in it later. Now publish your site.
Step 4.) If you're using .Mac, mount your iDisk to your desktop. Then navigate through the folders to: Web -> Sites -> iWeb -> <Your Site Name>. If you're hosting your site somewhere else, navigate to your root directory.
Step 5.) You should now be looking at all of the files which make up your iWeb site. Open the dummy page we created in Step 2 in a text editor. I used BBEdit, but TextEdit (see note below) will work just fine. For example, my dummy page is named "Photo Archives.html".
Note: If you're going to use TextEdit, you need to select the checkbox "Ignore rich-text commands in HTML files" from the Open & Save pane of the Preferences dialog PRIOR to opening the file from your iDisk.
Step 6.) Select all of the text (Command-A) and Delete.
Step 7.) Paste the following text, substituting the URL you want to link to.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"><html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"><head><title></title><meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;url=http://www.mydomain.com/mypage.html" /></head><body></body></html>
Step 8.) Save the file. You're done! You now have a link in the main navigation which goes to any URL you want.
Mac OS X (10.4.4)

Hi,
I'm OK to step seven but in your example can you highlight or make bold the "url address part " I'm to replace with my own?
Thanks!
Step 6.) Select all of the text (Command-A) and
Delete.
Step 7.) Paste the following text, substituting the
URL you want to link to.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><!DOCTYPE html
PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.d

tle><meta http-equiv="refresh"
content="0;url=http://www.mydomain.com/mypage.html"
/></head><body></body></html>
Step 8.) Save the file. You're done! You now have a
link in the main navigation which goes to any URL you
want.

How do you retain links within a page when converting from Microsoft word from a Mac?

Keeping Microsoft Word page links within a document or converting the filed map into bookmarks are not options when you work on a Mac. I subscribe to the Adobe Acrobat Plus service specifically to address that issue. But I can't find any documentation on this site that will walk one through the process. Can someone please direct me to a tutorial page that will allow me to keep my links and convert my bookmarks?

Have you tried using Safari's built-in method to email the content of a web page?
File > Mail Contents of This Page
(Keboard shortcut: Command-I)
If you don't want to email the entire page's content, you can easily edit it in the resulting email window, deleting the portions that you don't want.

Linking pages in iweb

Ok, I'm new to iWeb-- I am trying to build a simple web page for my mother. She has a small catering business. I need to be able to make multiple pages and be able to link to them, but I don't want a million links in my above header (which is the only place I know of to get links)
So.
I want to be able to make a page for each category...and have a 'gallery' to be on the header that goes on the top...and then on that gallery page, be able to click on each of the categories. (so I want the clicking to be on the page... not the top)
Is this possible? Does this make sense?

You can certainly do what you describe.
In iWeb you can make any object a hyperlink.
In your scenario make a page called Gallery. Then make a text box (or line of text) with the names of each of your categories.
Then create a page in iWeb for each of your categories.
Then make each name of each category a hyperlink as described here: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iWeb/3.0/en/23561.html and point the hyperlink at the pages you created.

Can there be an Home/Index page that has links to sub pages in iWeb?

How do you set up a Home page with links to other Photo web pages?
iWeb does a super job creating individual pages full of photos.
But if I want to have a "Directory" page that kicks off the whole site, how do I do that in iWeb?
I want to break up my photo pages into groups like:
Portraiture, Still Life, Life Style etc.

Thanks Will.
Most of my site is created in iWeb. I have been messing around with a iCalendar PHP also, to create a nice calendar for the site.
The Home page is a couple of programs used together.
1. I drew sketches of the little main street.
2. recreated the main Street in a GREAT program called SketchUp. it is the most User Friendly 3D program around and their Website has super tutorials to get you up and running in no time - seriously. Then exported it out to Photoshop as a flattened jpg. (I also did this for the individual buildings for my Banners)
3. In Photoshop, I painted my buildings and gave them some personality.
4. I originally had an Image Map that I created in ImageReady as my Home page, but that doesn't work for iWeb, so I had to use Flash.
5. I made a Flash Movie creating my Buttons and Links and Rollovers (Here you have to Plan some, cause you need to what pages you will have at the end and know the URL to the final pages iWeb produces. It is something like ..sitefolder/sitename/Home.html.
6. Then, I published it as a Quicktime Movie from Flash. You have to Publish as Flash 5 compatible in order to get a quicktime movie. Also, I set up my movie to loop, no controller, and auto play in Flash.
7. Put it on my Home page. (The controller shows up in iWeb, but not in the final Published Site. (I also do not have to manually change the HTML to autoplay "true" and controller "false" on this particular page. I do have to on others though.)
Thanks again Will, for your kind words - I have been working very hard on this site.
Also, don't forget to go to Suzanne's Site 11mystics.com for a lot of information and iWeb tips, tricks, and related links.

How to create internal links to a particular part of a page in iweb 08

Hello,
Can anyone help me create hyperlinks to a particular part of a page in iWeb 08? I've tried and tried and failed and failed!
Many thanks and best,
Rudy

Jumping in here ... sorry to be dim but I may need an even more rudimentary explanation as I'd really love to have the scrolling functionality on my site.
1. Where exactly do you place the 'HTML Snippet' on your page? Does it matter? Is it only one HTML Snippet or do I have to do one for each internal link I want on the page?
2. Am I just typing a list of Y coordinates here: anchors.push(Y coordinate) ? So if I want the first link on the page to scroll down to 'Y 431 px' then I would replace 'anchors.push(0)' with 'anchors.push(431)' ? And then the next one the next Y coordinate and so on?
Again - apologies for not getting what I'm sure is something very simple but I do appreciate it.
This is the page I'm trying to do it for (with the hyperlinks as I understand I'm supposed to do them and an html snippet on the page ... obviously not functioning correctly): http://www.calderastrategy.com/Site/Services.html
Thanks very much

Different Link Properties within Page?

How can you change the properties of different link within
the same page? For example: the color of the link, look of the
link, etc.
Reason is that I have links behind two different back drops.
How can I accomplish this? Thank you.

No, I don't think that's a good suggestion. It will fail in
IE, and it has
an unnecessary use of custom classes.

I am unable to reach the my content page of mysites from the name link within my site collection

For some reason I am no longer able to get to the personal mysites page from within our site collection. My name appears at the top right and it has an option for setting which leads to some minimal page but I can no longer use this to get to the actual
mysites page. Is there a setting I am missing that allows this to happen?

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you failed to reach the content page of mysites from the name link within site collection.
As this issue is always related to the inadequacy configuration about the MySite, you need to make sure that you had configured correctly with your MySite. You can refer to:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee624362(v=office.14)
What’s more, you can also check with the following steps.
Make sure the Web site for MySites in IIS is started.
Make sure the App pool is running
Use ULSVIEWER to check your Sharepoint ULS logs for the issue.
There are two similar articles for your reference.

Can't select links within web pages

Just got an iPhone. Able to load web pages but once open, cannot now select any links within any web pages. Appeared to be working on Apple page initially but then stopped.

Make sure the page is completely loaded before clicking on anything..
Next use the zoom in feature to get a better angle at it
If these two steps fail try refreshing the page and then trying.

Links within HTMLViewer Information page fail

Using SAP GUI 720 for Windows, I am attempting to load a link from an information page within a transaction (PHAP_CATALOG_PA is one example):
saphtmlp://htmlviewer.sap.com/trU7lB2xoV6eaG0OYp75oW/.html
This is an embedded link from an original "information" page showing within the HTML viewer....
When I click on any embedded link, I get a "This program cannot display the webpage" error. This occurs on any page with any embedded link, as far as I can tell.
Can anyone offer any suggestions as to why links fail to load within the HTML viewer?
Thanks!

Here's the pertinent information from the trace...It appears to be the same within any embedded link within an information page:
