Hi
background-position-x: 5px; is a css3 proposal and is not supported in most browsers, (and is also wrongly formed for most of those that do).
To position a background see - http://www.w3schools.com/css/css_background.asp. What you are looking for is about half way down the page.

Viewing iWeb site in different browsers

I have created a site using iWeb (v. 2.0.3) and am ready to publish. When I preview the index page in Firefox (my default browser) and in Safari, the site looks great and the navigation bar at the top of the welcome page is operable so I can see how each page looks in each of those browsers.
When I open the index page in Internet Explorer (using my Macs or a Windows PC) two things happen:
1. the site is not centered on the page (but pushed to the left)
2. there is no navigation bar available on the welcome page, only a black dot/period where the navigation bar should be.
Any ideas for ways to make the site look like it should in IE?
I can't publish until I can be sure the site loads as it should in the primary browsers.
Thanks.

Here's some pointers on getting your site to load in IE.
Use web safe fonts.
Don't convert text to graphics.
Optimize all your images.
Don't use drop shadows, reflections etc. ( You can add these in iWeb, take a snapshot, crop it and load the resulting JPEG to replace the original.}
Keep your page file sizes down to a minimum.
Run your files through an optimizing application before uploading.
Don't use the standard iWeb navigation.
For an example on image file sizes see....

How to view site on different platforms

I am working on a site that I have nearly completed. I am
using Windows XP
and have tested it on the latest four major browsers. I do
not have access
to a Mac computer though or earlier additions of said
browsers. I am
interested in hearing how the page renders on different
platforms. Would
anyone here be interested in having a look at the sight, when
I am done, and
giving some feedback on how it renders on their screen etc?
Or would this be
frowned upon as outside the parameters of this forum? If so,
could anyone
direct me to a place where I might obtain this information?
Thank you.
Best Regards,
Webdesigner

Problem: design view looks completely different than live view

I am trying to make changes to my home page in Dreamweaver, and when I am viewing the page in 'design view' the background image for the container is missing, and the divs are all over the place. When I view the same page in live view and in browser preview, it looks fine.
Because I can't really see what the page is going to look like in 'design view', I can't really make changes to the site. Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks for the help.

When things get really goofed up, it could be caused by malformed code or orphaned div tags. Sometimes browsers will let you slide with poor code, but DW Design View won't.

Some websites have jumbled letters. I tried opening the same sites in different browsers. But, they work, except for FF. How do I fix this?

Annoying jumbled letters.

Can you post a link to websites where you see it happen?
This issue can be caused by an old bitmap version of the Helvetica or Geneva font or (bitmap) fonts that Firefox can't display in that size.<br />
Firefox can't display some old bitmap fonts in a larger size and displays gibberish instead.<br />
You can test that by zooming out (View > Zoom > Zoom Out, Ctrl -) to make the text smaller.
Uninstall (remove) all variants of that not working font to make Firefox use another font or see if you can find a True type version that doesn't show the problem.

Viewing Flash Across different browsers?

Is it capable of letting me view flash work across the browsers?

Hi LaToneaL,
Thanks for your interest in BrowserLab! The service does render Flash content, however it does not do so on Firefox 2 (both Windows and Mac) due to a bug in that version of Firefox. That said, the focus of BrowserLab is on HTML/CSS layout moreso than on testing Flash (which generally works consistently across browsers).
Cheers,
Josh

Text in tables shifting in different browsers...

I have set up a page using tables.
In the middle of the page are 4 images pulled in and lined up
horizontally separated by table cells (for some space).
The tables immediately underneath the photos are for adding
text.
I center aligned the text and am controlling only the font
style (no colors, sizes, etc) from a separate external CSS file.
The first line of text is "paragraph" format, the second line
of text is bigger/different color and in "heading 1" format, the
third chunk of text is "paragraph" format also (it's an actual
paragraph).
When I view this page in the 4 main web browsers, this text
shifts up and down. In other words, all 4 photos underneath
descriptions are not aligned nicely horizontally. The tables are
perfectly aligned, so why is the text moving vertically inside when
previewed?
Here's a link to my site:
http://student.ccbcmd.edu/~rsmit459/playingthedrums/index.html
View it in different browsers and watch the copy under the
photos shift vertically (not lined up across the page).

Circles vs. squares in different browsers... Help!

Hello,
My website-building skills are very basic, but I just finished revising my website: http://www.sharibeaubien.com.
When I check the site in different browsers, I notice a discrepancy. I have a row of dots or circles underneath the main navigation near the top of the page. In Firefox and Internet Explorer, it appears as I intend it. However, Safari and Opera browsers display this row as a line of squares.
Is there any way to fix this so that the dots appear correctly in all browsers?
Thank you so much for any help you can provide.
Shari

Thank you so much for taking the time to respond to me.
If I decide to include the image in the style rule, how would I do that?
My guess is this:
1. Create the image in Photoshop
2. Save it as a jpeg within my site's folder
3. Add the property "background-image"
4. Search/browse for the image and insert it there
Is that correct?
I know the table-based layout is archaic, but it's what I'm familiar with and I didn't have the time to learn the newer format right now. Within the table, would I need to create a second row to house the image or could I just include it within the current row and the navigation?
Thank you so much. I can't express how much I really, really appreciate your help.

Unable to view external webcam content. I'm using IE11 with Windows 7 64 bit. I've tried deactivating Activex control, tried different browsers etc, tweeked the tools for trusted sites etc, but am totally stuck. I know the cams are working as i can view

Unable to view external webcam content. I'm using IE11 with Windows 7 64 bit. I've tried deactivating Activex control, tried different browsers etc, tweeked the tools for trusted sites etc, but am totally stuck. I know the cams are working as i can view them on mobile phone via puffin browser. I can play Youtube videos etc just fine. So why not the webcam?

First, confirm that ActiveX Filtering is configured to allow Flash content:
https://forums.adobe.com/thread/867968
Internet Explorer 11 introduces a number of changes both to how the browser identifies itself to remote web servers, and to how it processes JavaScript intended to target behaviors specific to Internet Explorer. Unfortunately, this means that content on some sites will be broken until the content provider changes their site to conform to the new development approach required by modern versions of IE.
You can try to work around these issues by using Compatibility View:
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/internet-explorer/use-compatibility-view#ie=ie-11
If that is too inconvenient, using Google Chrome may be a preferable alternative.

Problems Viewing Site After Upgrade

Now that I've upgraded to 08, I have so many problems with viewing my site (created with iWeb 06), that I'm thinking I should uninstall 08. The banner and the menu bar are absent when viewed in Explorer. The frames around some text boxes and photos do not show in any browser I've tried (Explorer, Firefox, Opera) except Safari. They were fine before (when I was using 06).
Is the problem that I created the site in 06 and am now updating it in 08? If so, I better uninstall 08 and reinstall 06 because I don't want to rebuild the entire site.
Any advice? And, just in case, how do I uninstall iWeb08?
Thanks so much!

When you launched iWeb '08 for the first time you should have gotten a popup window asking you wether you want to upgrade the domain file or not. And probably you just clicked on "update" as 99,9% of the people does...
Should I have done something different?
Actually no... Only if you wanted to go back to iWeb '06 but in 99,9% of the cases that's not the case...
It sounds as if rebuilding the site will not solve the problem, since it's an IE problem and not iWeb?
Right. As it works for all other browsers it must be an IE problem...
"But you might add a Second navigation bar (textfield with textlinks) to the pages contained in the menu bar..."
That will solve the navigation problem, but the page will still look terrible. The whole top section of the page (the navigation bar plus the banner) disappears in IE!
I don't have any IE, but when I looked at my pages at the University campus it worked great... Maybe it depends also on versions, service packs, and a lot of other variables...
Why oh why do people have to use that program???? Grrrr.
I'd give you a Nobel prize for this question... Maybe because they are unaware of how bad IE is... That's why you should provide the links to Safari or Firefox downloads... To contribute making the world a better place... A little change but if everyone does make a little bit the world is gonna be better of pretty soon... "I have a dream"...
Peace
Thanks again!
You're welcome...

CSS problem with content in different browsers?

I've been revamping the CSS for a website and got most internal pages to display normally on different browsers. However, the site entry page is driving me nuts. I think I've been staring at the code so long that I've overlooked an obvious error. In Firefox, the paragraph of intro text lines up nicely to the right of the navigation panel. In Google Chrome (and IE of course), it pops down underneath the nav panel as shown in screen capture below. Even if I zoom out. Included a link so you can see it in real time. (Since the revamp is recent, the style sheet isn't pretty.)

Sorry for the slow reply. Thanksgiving and family in town and all that. No I didn't fix or change anything. And I'll make sure the percentage match in the morning. It's after midnight here.

Thanks for that 'sberman' - because my iPhone is backed-up to my work computer (only at this stage) I have had to call our IT Department in Adleaide. (4 times this morning). The last guy managed to get the phone into 'DFU Mode' - no more recovery mode screen - (kind of 'asleep' perhaps) from my understanding of same. I am awaiting a call again from IT so they can get my computer to actually recognise my iPhone on the C Drive. This also happened to one of my colleagues in Newman (WA). She got so frustrated with the whole process that she bought another phone the next time she was in 'civilisation.' She hasn't had any problems since. (Cross fingers).
Thanks again, Sandra2474.

Problems Viewing Site in IE

Hey, I seem to have come across a problem with my site. While it looks great in both Safari and Firefox (Mac OS X and Windows XP), it has some problems when being viewed by Internet Explorer (I've only tried with IE 6, I don't know about 7). Can anyone think of maybe why this might be? Here's one page where the difference is noticable, the IE version has what seems like a gray box over everything and the hyperlinks on the text seem like they are off.

Thanks,
Steven

Thanks! I can give that a try and see if it helps. With respect to the nagivation, I actually disabled the navigation bar (it's in the document part of the inspector), and that's just 3 rectangles (a large grey, 2 small white) with text over the top of it. The text is then hyperlinked to the corresponding page or web gallery. To me, it was just a lot cleaner setting it up like that than having every single page I made appear at the top. And to link to external pages (like my web gallery), open the inspector and go to the hyperlinks part of it (the very right). There should be a pull tab that has the options of "One of My Pages" and "External Pages". Put it on external pages and type in the URL address you want it to link to.
