Printing iWeb-created pages on PC's

I recently created a website for my husband, using iWeb. I encountered no problems in creating or publishing the site. I have printed the entire site on my iMac from the Internet using Safari. Pages have printed just as they appear on the net and as I created them. Several different friends that have PC's have tried printing some of the pages. The pages appeared normal on the screen, but the printouts were incomplete. Only the first sheet printed, and in one case that sheet had a menu with slanted print, and in another case the entire page had slanted print. It was unreadable. I don't see what I can do to fix this. Is it a compatibility problem? Can my friends do anything to their print settings to correct the problem? Should I send this question to a different forum?
Thanks --

The reason this is happening is related to how iWeb pages are rendered. Not everything is in the same HTML file. In fact, the style information which is probably responsible for your problem, is located in a separate .css file. I don't think this information is available to the printer when you print the page. Frankly, I am impressed that you are able to get adequate printouts from Safari even!
But as long as you are printing okay from Safari, you could print to a PDF file and then have a link to this PDF on your pages for people who want to print them. Kind of a hassle, I know. This would be the easiest way around the problem, though.
Another way of doing this would be to relocate the CSS information back into the main page HTML files. This requires editing of your pages. Here's a thread from Michael Wong who has done this for some of his pages...

  • Publishiing iWeb created pages to other domains

    Is there a way to upload iWeb created pages to other domains besides .mac.
    Thanks

    Thank you both for the replies. I went further into the archives and saw a post about splitting the domain. Does this apply to my problem? http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=552258&tstart=0
    I want to take this very slowly as I lost a lot of albums from my Homepage way back when there was a large glitch it the system. I don't want to have to recreate sites so need to be sure of what I am doing, step by step.

  • Configuring the browser window title for an iWeb-created page?

    Hello all,
    How do you customize the text that appears in the browser window's title for an iWeb-created page? (e.g., at the top of the browser window where it says "Apple - Support - Discussions - etc."). I had assumed that the the name I designated for the page via the Inspector would be used as the browser window title, but instead iWeb is using the first line of text within the page itself.
    Thanks!

    You can do it with a HTML snippet with the following code:
    <script type='text/javascript'>
    parent.document.title = "name you want to appear at the top of the window";
    </script>
    It takes about a second or two to replace the original text as can be seen in this test page.
    Put the snippet box off somewhere where it won't overlap on any other element. It is invisible on the web page and in iWeb until you click on it. I had to do a Select All to find it just now to get the code.

  • Problem with printing dynamically created pages

    Hello,
    I have created a form in Designer 7.1 with one page. When clicking the Print button the script generates additional pages with the instance manager (addInstance) and then I want to print the generated pages. However, when using 'xfa.host.numPages - 1' in the print statement only the first page is printed. When I use a static end value, I get an error message with 'wrong end value for print'. Does anybody know, what I have been missing?
    Thanks, Karin

  • Cant view iweb created page on a mobile device

    i created my page and can view on my computer with no issues but if you try from a mobile device it states it is under construction? Any ideas?
    Thanks.

    I believe that iWeb uses flash, which is okay on a computer, but you can't get flash on an iPhone, which is why your site would display as under construction.
    If you only have one page, then why not re-build it in another application that is actually fully supported and is being regularly updated, which iWeb is not - is has not been sold or supported by Apple for the last 3 years at least and does not use the most up-to-date technology.
    Take a look at the other alternates out there such as Rapid Weaver, Sandvox, Freeway Pro/Express 7,  WebAcappella 4, Flux V and EverWeb.
    You can download trials of most to see if you like them before you buy them.

  • Video on my iWeb created pages

    I have tried several different methods/codecs of video loaded onto my site using iWeb. I've tried mp4, wmv, flv and mov. None of which seem to be viewable to anyone not on a Mac. Can someone please tell me why or what I may be doing wrong?
    Thanks!

    I added the video by dragging it into the page and resizing it to a larger scale. I'm not sure about the people who have been trying to view it and their system capabilities. I do know that some of them are graphic designers and animators and would like to hope that they've got QT installed. But I guess that's kind of my question in a nutshell. Is iWeb taking the video in whichever format I place it, even if it's a wmv or flv, and then turning it into QT? Because that has been what I've assumed but can't figure out why. It does give people the Quicktime question mark even when it was the wmv version.

  • How to edit non-iWeb created pages?

    I have a personal website that was created using another app. Is it possible to import this and edit it using iWeb?
    If it is, it's not readily apparent.
    Thanks.

    iWeb uses a package called a domain file to store your website information. You can "publish" this to a folder but you cannot reverse this. In other words it can't import or reimport data. This is one of the applications's shortcomings.
    You would have to rebuild your existing site in iWeb.

  • Errors when loading iWeb created pages

    I edit my iWeb-site at home on my Mac and as I go along I check it in my Firefox browser,which always seems to be fine. However, at work I check it on a Windows/Explorer cpu and it is always distorted out of recognition. I've refreshed the page and tried emptying the temp internet files. Nothing seems to fix it,does anyone else have a similar or the same problem?

  • Trying to publish iWeb created pages on a 3rd party webpage server...HELP!!

    I recently purchased iLife '06. My questions pretains to iWeb specifically. I have been laboring for hours trying to publish one page that I made to a third party web page server with absolutely no success. I am currently trying to upload my page to freewebs.com via the upload service they offer; would using FTP make a difference? Do you know of a free web page server that works with greater compatibility with iWeb? (i.e. not having to convert .png files to .jpg or .gif, etc.)

    Does your provider allow ssh/scp? I'm a UNIX admin, so I typically do all this stuff from a shell or via scripts that I run. But this is very easy, IF they allow scp.
    - Save iWeb to a directory (for the sake of this example, I'll say "~/sites"
    - Open up a terminal
    - Change directory to the sites directory
    cd ~/sites
    - Run the scp recursively
    scp -r * [email protected]
    It'll ask you for your password, then it'll transfer all the directories in "sites" recursively (i.e. all the file and directories in each directory).

    Hi, need some help to instruct my network of wievers how to "attach" iweb created pages. Very often they have serious problems wieving the nice photopages I create with iWeb. My friends, family give me feed backs as "can´t see photos only slideshow" among other. Most of them are running Windows PC , but also PowerMac G3. Is their any place to find information about what should be installed at the wievers computer or minimum system demands??

  • Can't print Google Maps embedded in iWeb 08 pages

    I have created a web page using iWeb 08; the page has several Google maps embedded. I realize that the Google maps are interactive but I can't find a way to print the web page showing the Google maps. When I print, I get blank space where the maps are. I've tried printing from Safari, iWeb and via PDF but none of these methods print the map as shown on the screen. Is there a way to do this?
    Thanks for any help.
    James

    You cannot.
    It's the way Apple embeds the map in the page.
    Solution: Go to Google Maps, find your location, copy the HTML Embed code and paste it with the HTML Snippet.
    Next problem: When printing the page, I see scroll bars on the printed page.
    Problems, problems problems, will it ever stop.

  • How can I add a link to an external page to the iWeb created navigation menu?

    I want to add a link to a Wordpress blog to my iWeb created navigation menu.  Dream Host is hosting my site.

    Here's a JavaScript that inserts a link in the navbar
    <script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
    <!--
              theNavUL = parent.document.getElementById("widget0-navbar-list");
              // insert a LI before the current list of li's
