.Mac Web'08 site not displaying correctly in browsers

Just published by first iWeb'08 designed web site.
http://web.mac.com/chasandstephen
Have tested it in Safari 3, Firefox 2, Internet Explorer 7 all on both a Mac and a PC.
What a *&%$#@ shambles.
After spending 4 weeks leaning iWeb'08 and designing this site, with the great help from all you guys:
http://forums.mactalk.com.au/showthread.php?t=41976
http://forums.mactalk.com.au/showthread.php?t=42801
The main problem seems to be text boxes not lining up correctly. Check out the "Links" and "Site Map" pages for the worst offenders. Also the text size has all so mysteriously changed on the Links page.
Any suggestions guys to what has gone badly wrong here?
Our families are hanging out for this.

yippee We have got it working. All the pages now display correctly, except in our windows based Firefox 2 and even then it is only the Welcome page that is the problem. All the text has shrunk and moved over to the far left and all the text on all the pages is slightly fuzzy. All other browsers on Mac and PC work OK.
The main problem was that the "Links" and "Site Map" pages were just one great big text box. After placing each section of text in a text box and aligning it all up, this did the trick. It also now loads faster. It seems by doing it this way iWeb'08 CSS is constrained far tighter.
I suppose what I have learnt from all this is that iWeb'08 is more akin to a Desktop Publishing program as opposed to a Word Processing program. I also have learnt to published first to a local folder and view it locally this way errors can be picked up and corrected quicker and easier.

Web site not displaying correctly in IE7 or lower

Hi. I uploaded my site and thought everything was fine with it. I'm running IE8 and it looks fine for me, but then I checked it on another computer that has IE7 and the formatting looks incorrect. The main content area is way low - you have to scroll down to see it and the banner at the top has a blue line through it - which I think is really just a space with a blue background.... Can anyone help me fix this? Thanks so much.

Https sites not displaying correctly

Here's an interesting problem thats cropped up on a couple of machines here. Hopefully someone else has found the cause!
The problem is that some HTTPS sites are not displaying correctly. We have seen this with vimeo, and with wetransfer. I have included a screenshot of the issue on both safari and on chrome.
Cross checks i've been able to verify:
another machine with the same OS (10.8.5) looking at the same sites is fine and another running 10.9.4 is not, so this appears not to be OS or browser version related.
this does not happen in a different user account on the same machine, so the issue appears to be in the user home.
this happens across all browsers in this user account. so it appears to be a supporting technology or cache going wrong rather than a specific browser.
I have emptied the user preferences, and cache folders with no change.
Clearly i can sidestep this by creating a new user home, but that isn't actually getting to the bottom of what is going wrong, and it would be better to identify the issue!

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

Google web page not displaying correctly

Since updating to v24.0 of Firefox (desktop) the Google web page does not display correctly.
If I use the IE tab 2 in FF or even IE10, I see the pagwe in it's full 'glory' including the black menu bar across the top were you can select Gmail or Calendar etc etc
However, in FF (without using the IE Tab 2) this menu bar across the top of the page does not display ... and to add insult to injury ... some web links o certain pages don't seem to want to work either !!!!
Anyone know what's gone wrong here as I can't figure it out ?!?!?!
Thanks

Whenever my Google UI changes drastically, I clear all my Google cookies and usually that fixes it. Sometimes I have to do that AND restart Firefox.
If you haven't already tried it... When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
(1) Bypass Firefox's Cache
Use Ctrl+Shift+r to reload the page fresh from the server.
Alternately, you also can clear Firefox's cache completely using:
orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced
On the Network mini-tab > Cached Web Content : "Clear Now"
If you have a large hard drive, this might take a few minutes.
(2) Remove the site's cookies (save any pending work first). While viewing a page on the site, try either:
* right-click and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
* Alt+t (open the classic Tools menu) > Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
In the dialog that opens, you can remove the site's cookies individually.
Then try reloading the page. Does that help?

.mac mail account not displaying correctly

My .mail account has worked for two years but now, when I sign in and the mail inbox is displayed, it does not load fully, text is not displayed correctly and I cant read or reply to mail as the mouse click has no effect... I've emptied the cache and run disk utility. Any pointers for a novice mac user?? Thanks. M.
mac mini Mac OS X (10.4.9)

When this was happening last week they also suggested
you totaly quit Safari after empting your cache. Try
that.
I've tried shutting it down (safari as well as the computer) but its still loading the same... any more hints? Thanks, M.

WebCenter Web Page Not Displaying Correctly

Has anyone ever seen this error? *"Skip navigation elements to page contents"*
The page is completely scrambled. Nothing displays correctly. It only happens when I try to restrict access to the page. Here's the page restriction within the web.xml file.
<security-constraint>
<web-resource-collection>
<web-resource-name>NonAdminPages</web-resource-name>
<url-pattern>faces/Graphs.jspx</url-pattern>
</web-resource-collection>
<auth-constraint>
<role-name>users</role-name>
</auth-constraint>
</security-constraint>
When I use this, it works correctly:
<security-constraint>
<web-resource-collection>
<web-resource-name>NonAdminPages</web-resource-name>
<url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
</web-resource-collection>
<auth-constraint>
<role-name>users</role-name>
</auth-constraint>
</security-constraint>
Of course, when I use the above url pattern, it gives everyone access to all of the pages.
Also, I tried deleting the oracle-desktop-10_1_3_3_0-en-ie-6-windows-s.css file in the "\WEB-INF\temp\adf\styles\cache\" directory. This did not work. (I read that this might fix the error from Bug No. 5616568)
Any help that anyone can provide would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Derek
P.S. I using JDev 10.1.3.3.0

thanks for any help

IWEB, web site not displaying to scale on the iPAD ?

my web page has been created and is maintained using iWEB, I have found the web page does not display scaled correctly when accessed using an iPAD>?

Your website displays fine on an iPad. The problem is the word "Scubabitz" which is overflowing the content area in iOS.
You have used the Impact font for this and, although it is websafe, it is not supported in iOS for some reason. The browser is substituting a fallback font which renders larger than Impact for the same font size setting.
You need to reduce the font size until it renders OK on an iPad or use another font.
Here's a comment about Impact from an article about which fonts NEVER to use on a website...
"Impact is the standard choice for office handouts and amateur mailing list items, and it should never be used for a professional logo or public document. Avoid it, and opt for a wider font for your headlines."

Muse site not displaying correctly on tablet or phone

Having a problem with Muse displaying on mobile devices correctly.
I built the site using the desktop layout, then the tablet and phone.
When I open the site on mobile device they display correct.
I navigate to other pages and then the site reverts to the desktop version.
I need to know how to remedy this problem. I uploaded the site to
Business Catalyst and GoDaddy with the same results.

Hello,
The issue most likely is that when the phone layout menu items were linked to their related pages, the desktop pages were selected from the "hyperlinks" dropdown, instead of the "desktop" layout pages. There are different sections for desktop phone and tablet layout pages in the "hyperlinks" section as shown in this screenshot: http://screencast.com/t/KBTtyHeKfHj4
Please go to the design view and re-link the phone layout menu items to the phone layout pages.
Hope this helps.
Cheers

Colors and images on itunes U site not displaying correctly.

After the issues of not being able to login this weekend our site has dropped much of it's theming, including colors and images. The page/course thumbnails still show as well as the background image, but all the other areas look like they are missing the background images. Is anyone else having the same issues with their site. This is the original "private" site, not the new PSM version.
Thanks,
Kyle

Yes, my store and another institution as well - we mentioned the new problem here:

Why do some web pages not display correctly in Firefox?

When I go to certain websites the text formatting in Firefox comes out to where hyperlinks and lines of text are displayed on top of one another but the same site is formatted properly when I load it in Internet Explorer.

You may have zoomed the page(s) by accident. Reset the page zoom on pages that cause problems.
*View > Zoom > Reset (Ctrl/Command+0 (zero))
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Zoom_text_of_web_pages
If you have made changes to Advanced font settings like increasing the minimum/default font size then try the default minimum setting "none" and the default font size 16 in case the current setting is causing problems.
*Tools > Options > Content Fonts & Colors > Advanced > Minimum Font Size (none)
Make sure that you allow pages to choose their own fonts.
*Tools > Options > Content Fonts & Colors > Advanced: [X] "Allow pages to choose their own fonts, instead of my selections above"
It is better not to increase the minimum font size, but to use an extension to set the default page zoom to prevent issues with text not being displayed properly.
You can try these steps in case of issues with web pages:
You can reload web page(s) and bypass the cache to refresh possibly outdated or corrupted files.
*Hold down the Shift key and left-click the Reload button
*Press "Ctrl + F5" or press "Ctrl + Shift + R" (Windows,Linux)
*Press "Command + Shift + R" (Mac)
Clear the cache and cookies only from websites that cause problems.
"Clear the Cache":
*Firefox/Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Cached Web Content: "Clear Now"
"Remove Cookies" from sites causing problems:
*Firefox/Tools > Options > Privacy > "Use custom settings for history" > Cookies: "Show Cookies"
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.
*Switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window

Site not displaying correctly in DW Design View

This is a weird display problem on one of my sites that I
have not seen before.
I sometimes log into my server remotely and make changes to
the html manually then resave the files. Later I may download the
newly edited files and put them in my backup site folder on my
local machine.
On one particular site, everything looks fine online from my
server, but when looking at the files locally in DW Design view
everything is out of whack. The images are all over the place and
the backgrounds are completely missing. If I preview the it still
looks normal and all the images are in the correct place and
backgrounds are fine. Only displays wrong in DW Design View which
makes it impossible to use the WYSIWYG to edit this site now.
Anyone encountered anything like this?

You are editing the files directly on the server, and not
from a local site?
And which DW are you using?

Verizon web pages not displaying correctly

I am having a problem displaying most of the Verizon web pages, including the forum pages. The pages look like the header icons are sustituted with text links throughout the pages, sometimes overlaying other areas. Check the attachment for two samples. this makes them very difficult to navigate. I have not noticed this on any pages other than Verizon's, but I suppose there may be some somewhere. Find it hard to believe my browser only has the problem here. It only is an issue on my desktop pc. My laptop is ok. The only changes I made just before this happened was to uninstall a runaway Verizon In-Home Agent that was in an endless loop trying to get an update. Any ideas?
Thanks
Solved!

Try adding verizon.com to your Trusted Sites zone in Internet Explorer.
To do so, double-click the "Internet Zone" thing down there ▼ to bring up the Security panel, select the Trusted Sites zone and click the Sites button. Then enter "verizon.com" and click Add. You will have to uncheck the "Require server verification" box.
That should fix the problem.

Muse site not displaying correctly when 'Published' to BC

Hi all
Strange incidents happening with a Muse site I'm designing for a client. When I use the Publish feature (which uploads the site to the default Business Catalyst domain you get with the Muse subscription) it throws the elements all over the place, so buttons, type, imaegry and widgets aren't wheere they should be.
I've cleared the cache, restarted the browser, tried in other browsers and still the same result, so pretty unhappy.
When I 'Preview' the site in a browser everything seems perfect.
Bizarre thing is when designing my first ste the opposite was the case; lots of visual problems when using 'Preview' but perfect when 'Published' to BC.
Anyone got any ideas as to why this is happening?
All help appreciated

Hi gaurav
Thanks for the reply, think we have the solution. Apparantly Muse is not uploading the updated CSS files. I created a test domain on my own website to use for this project and uploaded via Fetch and everything worked fine.
So it looks like it's an issue with Muse
