Putting a "Capture" Box Into iWeb

Is there any way to insert a "capture" box into an iWeb page?
What I mean by this is, a spot where someone can input information i.e. Name, Email, Phone Number etc. and hit submit and the information gets emailed to my account or into a database.
I'm not sure if iWeb has this capability, but I'm thinking it can be done by inserting an HTML Snippet of some sort?
Any help is greatly appreciated.

You can put a form into an HTML snippet but how you go about it depends on where you publish.
If you publish to a server that allows you to run scripts, you can set up form mail, a web email address and redirect this to your Mac Mail if required.
If you publish to MobileMe you need to use a service like Wufoo or Formlogix.

Put Find Box into Add-on Bar

Is there a way to put the find box into the Add-on bar? It is pretty ridiculous that the Find Bar takes up so much valuable space. Why not use up some un used space on the Add-on Bar?

I think you are missing the point entirely, or maybe I am not explaining it right. My find bar is in view 24/7. I like in view as I use it all the time. But it it ridiculous to have it take up a whole row. It doesn't make sense that you can't drag it to the Add-on bar. Look at images below.

Putting an HTML mp3 player into iWeb

I am trying to put an mp3 player into iWeb 09 using the files on my computer. Unfortunately i don't know how to do this. Basically something similar to the audio players that are on myspace and sites like that. Im a tad new to this iWeb business and therefore still trying to find my way about it.
I know there is a code to put in the HTML widget, just not sure where to get them from or which one is the most efficient.
Thanks for having a look, I would really appreciate your feedback.

You need the software and code to embed a mp3 player in your website :
Google will find it for you :
[embed mp3 player website|http://www.google.nl/search?q=embedmp3+playerwebsite]
Here's a link to one I use : http://flash-mp3-player.net/
Once you have the files, make it work on the webserver.
Then embed the webpage with the player with the HTML Snippet using the <iframe> HTML element :
<iframe src="http://url.to.file.html" frameborder="0" width="500" height="500" scrolling="no" allowTransparency="true"></iframe>
Or paste the <OBJECT> code directly in the HTML Snippet. Make sure the pathname to the MP3 files and playlists are correct.

Iweb/iphoto: not able to put photos into iweb site unless named by me!

This is wierd, surely this cant be right. I am building a site in iweb. Sometimes I can drag the photo in no problem, to drop it on the page - any type page, doesnt have to be a Photo /Albums page.
But other times, only the name of the file and a box comes onto the page- no actual photo. Seems to be when the name of the photo file is from the camera, because photos named by me seem to be ok. (But not always! )
Other times, the photo I'm dragging just springs back.
Please can someone tell me what's happening and how to get round! Becuase I am stuck - I cant put the phtos I want into my website.
(I find iphoto pretty annoying anyway - I prefer the way I used to organise my phots on pc, more logical with me naming the folders. I get in such a muddle- it's so much easier to orgaise photo files in Finder, but they still end up messy in iphoto because it doesnt recocgnise the changes Ive just made with Finder! arrggghhhh!!!)

Have all your photos been taken with your camera, if so, they are all jpgs. You can take them from iphoto and place them on to the desktop into a folder. They should all work when you place them into iweb. I have been able to drag and drop illustrator files, photoshop files and jpgs, all which were photos in the first place. It shouldn't matter what they are.
The ones that don't work have you manipulated them in photoshop?

Is there a way to take the code form my iweb site and put in into iweb on a different mac?

Putting a flash (swf) animation into iWeb

A similar question was asked previously -- how to put a Flash file into an iWeb site.
The answer --- which apparently works starts like this --- 1) Open your iDisk and open the "Web" folder. Inside of that, open the "Sites" folder. >>>
My problem is, I don't have an "iDisk." I actually have 7 different "Web" folders on my system. And he only time "iDisk" appears on a search related to "classic application."
Can someone tell me where to find the right folder?

I have found that IDisk is for .mac members -- I am one.
How do I access my iDisk?

Inserting MobileMe Videos into IWeb

I have three questions about inserting MobileMe Videos into iweb.
1) I used the "insert from MobileMe" command in iWeb and it allows me to insert a video but I can't change the size of the video. Do you know how I can change the size.
2) I have some movies I have uploaded to the gallery via iMovie and some I uploaded via the mobileme site. The ones via iMovie I can easily insert like I mentioned in Q1 but the others I uploaded are put into an album and iWeb doesn't allow me to select the video I want to insert. It only allows me to insert the whole album which is a small box with links to the album. I want to choose the video to insert into the page. Any ideas How?
3) Is there a way to insert the video from mobileme using the Html Snippet? If so, how?
Thanks
Neil

You can use the [OBJECT/EMBED|http://htmlhelp.com/reference/html40/special/object.html] code for inserting media in a page.
When you know the location of the movie you can create a path to it.
Your webgallery is in iDisk>Web>Sites>_gallery>100999>Movie.

Possible? Recreate my original Homepage pages into iWeb but retain old URL?

I have Tiger in the box and still have to install it.
I just bought iLife '06 today and will install it after installing Tiger.
I already have a .Mac homepage up — created with Homepage Manager.
I am thinking now that I would like to recreate that original homepage but do it with iWeb.
How do I end up with my original homepage pages all re-done into iWeb templates but retain my original .Mac homepage URL? All my friends know that URL. Could someone please explain?
— Lorna in Southern California

Well really it's not OR but AND. If you want to do away with your old >homepage-style pages and send people to your iWeb pages via the old URL, >then you must put the redirect on the old pages.
Or you could leave the old pages up but add a link that says "Here's my new homepage..." or something like that...
Hi... I see you live in Florida — and hope you are not in any of the traditional hurricane paths!
I think that I want to start copying/recreating my Homepage pages into iWeb pages and accept that I will have a new URL someday in the near future (because I intend to do the copying as fast as I can and not stop). I can send a notice out and change a few other things. However, I have questions for that interim time when I am working on the iWeb pages but not finished with them.
While I am working on iWeb pages, I am given a new URL, right? And thus, I would at that point have two URLs with .Mac. Is that possible? As I see it, the first URL would be the one I have now, which is the address of my present .Mac Homepage Manager Homepage. And the second URL, wouldn't it be the URL of the iWeb pages? That's possible???
I understand the concept of having a redirect page from my original Homepage ultimatly to the new iWeb page, but is it an automatic redirect or one which the viewer can activate if he wants to? I would not want a redirect page to quickly, blindly switch a visitor from the old Homepage to the new iWeb pages which are incomplete.
I don't understand the mechanics of URLs. I don't know what a Redirect Page looks like or how it works and I don't see how I could be working on my new iWeb pages with its new iWeb URL, all the while leaving my present Homepage alone, viewable by visitors with ITS OWN URL.
[several minutes passed]
And now that I have sat here and thought for several minutes, it seems that the easiest thing to do would be to have no redirect page for a while. All that I ask in that case is: Is it possible to do that? Is it possible to have my old/present Homepage viewable while I am working on my iWeb pages?
I think I just solved one of my questions all by myself. If I begin to work on iWeb I will be given a new URL — an iWeb URL. Thus technically, when I Edit and Publish in iWeb, technically, people could view those pages, but chances are they will not if I don't announce the new iWeb URL to them. OK. I see......
I am asking all of this now because I am the type that needs to envision and understand a project from start to finish before I start. I do not like surprises — and cyber surprises have the ability to unsettle me.
Could someone please realign my erratic thoughts? Are my goals possible? Can I have my present .Mac Homepage Manager Homepage viewable and visitable while working away on copying them to my new iWeb site? (I bought iLife '06 yesterday and will install it and Tiger today. Tiger first and iWeb'06 second, as instructed.)

Applescript to suck ical dates into iweb

I was referred to this forum from the iweb forum (http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2513935&tstart=0).
Here's what I would like to do: I am an athletic director and would I have entered all of my school's athletic contests into iCal. I would like to set up something in which iWeb can pull the events out of iCal (I have mobileme) into a "week at a glance" type of display on our athletics page (made with iweb). Ideally it would automatically update so that as events are completed, the next events would show up. I don't want to embed a calendar.
I want something that looks like the table on the right of this page: www.twu.ca/athletics.
Is there an applescript that could help me pull dates from iCal into a text box in iWeb?

Hi,
You may be able do this with an Applescript. However there is not enough information supplied to know.
How are ther events formatted in iCal? Do they contain the full name of the person? Do they say how old they are? Are the people already in Address Book, or would they all be new cards?
Best wishes

I put my sim card into a new iphone and tried to change it back to the old one and now the phone is locked. It's asking for a passcode and I didn't have a passcode set up.

Hi! I need help! I put my sim card into a new iphone (3g) and then tried to put it back into the old one to get my contacts from it. Now the old iphone is locked and it's asking for a passcode, but I never set up a passcode on it. Has anyone experienced this or does anyone know what to do? Thanks!

Not sure if this applies to your region, but in Australia the SIM password is often written on the "credit card" sized plastic card that the SIM was provided to you with the phone by the telco. Do you still have this? It could be in the iPhone box?

Can you export a published iweb website back into iweb?

I have created my own iweb website which I uploaded to my own domain using transmit. Since creating the page, I had a had drive die on me that I can't access and don't have my site in iweb to edit as I have resorted to a back up made just before I made the site. So I want to know if I can access the site from Transmit and put it back into iweb for editing the site?
This is my first site I have made entirely on my own and have been learning as I go. If I can't access the site as I made it, I may try accessing the files from Transmit one by one to re-make the pages.
Any help on this will me very much appreciated.

Sure, you could syncronize in the opposite direction to get your html files and images, etc back on your Mac. But you will have to drag and drop, copy and paste to get that content back into iWeb.
Your iWeb data is stored, not in your actual html files, but in a file called Domain.sites which is stored in your Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder. If you want to work on your site on another computer, copy this file to a thumb drive to move it around.
You should backup this file whenever you make big changes to your site, because if it gets lost or damaged, you will have to start all over. Sadly, many many people learn this the hard way. Unfortunately, looks like you have too.
I have an Automator app on my site that will help you backup your Domain file(s). Click here to download it or visit http://iweb.varkgirl.com for more info. The app will make a .zip file of your Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder and save it to a location of your choosing.
Then check out Mozy for an online place to store your backups - I just found this and it seems great. They just recently released a Mac friendly version of their app - it automates the upload and encryption. You select the files you want to backup and it does the rest. You can set it to upload automatically after so many minutes of inactivity or once a day. It does it all in the background so you don't have to worry about it! 2GB of storage are free - plenty of room for most people's iWeb Domain.sites backups!

How to save contents of two different rich edit box into single rtf file in windows 8.1 app

Developer, I have requirement to save registration data into rtf file.. These can only be done by if I put rich edit box to fill the data.. Now if I am going to write the code for saving the data of different rich edit box into one particular file, it
only saves the data of last rich edit box.. So plzz suggest that how can I save the contents of different rich edit box together into one rtf file.

Ok Nishant, just did some quick research, since rtf file is unlike txt file, we cannot simply directly write some content to the rtf.
You can try to find some third party code that can help you insert text into rtf file or you would like to load the content from rtf out to the richeditbox and merge them to one richeditbox and then save back to the file.
You could like to see how to read/save rtf file sample from:

Inserting a Form Created in CoffeeCup Form Designer into iWeb...

Hi all,
I created a web form in CoffeeCup's Flash Form creator (on my PC). The end result is 7 files and a section of code. I presume that I can insert the code as a snippet (I have version '08) but I'm unsure as to where to put the 7 associated files. In addition, this site is hosted on Go Daddy, not .Mac. Any tips on where/how in the folder architecture on my Mac to place the 7 files generated by CoffeeCup and does anyone know if there's anything funky I need to do to post this all to Go Daddy... Thanks in advance for any advice...

Yes, you can enter the Html code as a snippet, however, as far as I know you have wasted your time creating 7 pages with coffee cup as you will not be able to merge them into iWeb. Others have asked this same question and I don't think it is possible to merge web sites or pages created with other web site packages such as Dreamweaver into iWeb. You can't import in that way.
You will either need to use iWeb or coffee cup, but not both.
Use an ftp client to upload to GoDaddy. There are many - Fetch, Cyberduck or Transmit. You can do this in iWeb too.

Embedding LR4 Gallery Into iWeb

Hello,
After looking at many options, I had decided to use Airtight SimpleViewer in Lightroom 4 to create photo galleries with the intention of embedding these galleries into my website created with iWeb (3.0.4).
However, I am stumbling at the html snippet stage.
I have tried both uploading the gallery to my FTP site as well as exporting the gallery and then using Fetch to upload the gallery.
I tried using the html snippets reported in www.iwebfaq.org:
<iframe src=
"http://web.me.com/username/Slideshow/index.html"
style="width:615px; height:500px;
border-color:#990033;
border-style:solid;
border-width:0px"
scrolling="yes" >
</iframe>
Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong?
Thanks

I put the slideshow folders into my public folder in my Dropbox:
When I insert the following into the HTML snippets, I don't get the Simple Viewer Gallery either in iWeb or on my blog after putting it with Fetch:
When I click on the index.html file within the Public Dropx folder for the Ice Fishing slideshow, this is the link I get: https://dl-web.dropbox.com/get/Public/Slideshows/Ice_Fishing/index.html?w=AABKs1 m6rARJTOqw4plIXFTCkvdEqU3X-D1J9yWfiSObZQ; and this is the result in both iWeb and my blog:
I have Adobe Flash installed so that is not the issue. When I hit the Gallery link, I get this error message:
Thanks for your help thus far. I think I am much closer, but still obviously doing something wrong.

How do i get hosted website files back into iWeb after they were lost off iWeb?

Lost all website files from my iWeb program. Possible I updated a newer non compatible iWeb version? At any rate........have website files back on my desktop and have no idea how to get them back into iWeb so I can modify. Any help will be greatly appreciated!

You can't. iWeb has no import capability. Search your hard drive for a file named Domian.sites2. It normally resides in your Users/Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder. If you use Time Machine you can go back in it to find the latest copy of that file.
However,
NOTE: In Lion and Mountain Lion the Home/Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
If you can't find it you'll have to start a new website. You can open the files from the website in your browser and copy/drag photos from the existing website pages into a new or blank iWeb page. Text should be selected and copied and then pastes into the new webpage. No need to add a text box first.
