Putting a rollover gif into an iweb template

hi, i am using iWeb for the first time and have created my website using a template but i want to add a gif to the page so when people roll over it, the picture changes. i have made the gif in photoshop and image ready and can only export it as an html file with 2 linked image files which works fine in a browser on its own but i can't find anywhere in iweb to place the html file. i can't 'drag and drop' it as i have been able to with everything else. there might be a really simple solution and if anyone knows it, i would very much appreciate your help!
G5 Mac OS X (10.3.9)

hi there james,
thanks very much for your help.
the link you posted is pretty much exactly what i'm trying to do.
yes i'm on .Mac, have posted it as you said:
http://homepage.mac.com/benhillisdesign/shockrollover/shockingroll.html
and this is where i want to put it:
http://web.mac.com/benhillisdesign/iWeb/%3Abenhillisdesign%3A/PLAY.html
you can see i currently have an animated gif in there, i just want to replace that with my new rollover gif.
thans again for your very quick reply, i look forward to the next step...
cheers,
ben
Are you hosting your site on .Mac or another host?
Either way, at the very least you'll need to upload
the HTML files that you have now to your server. If
you are hosting with .Mac, then the easiest place to
put this is on your iDisk/Sites/ folder. This would
be the first step in getting the stuff into your iWeb
page. As you can see, it isn't going to be as simple
as drag and drop like for regular images. But it
won't be that difficult either. You'll be doing a
bit of editing of the iWeb generated HTML files.
I assume that you have all the files associated with
this image in a folder. Just copy the whole folder
into iDisk/Sites/ and you should be able to access
the image with a browser using the following URL
format:
http://homepage.mac.com/username/foldername/index.html
username = your .Mac account username
foldername = the name of the folder you copied to
iDisk/Sites/
index.html = the name of your default start file.
Anyways, once you have gotten the image folder copied
to your iDisk/Sites/ folder or your server, post back
and let me know the URL that you use to access the
image. We can go from there...
Here's an example of something similar on my iWeb
pages...

Is there any way to put a Message Board into your iWeb website?

I really want to set up a page so that my friends and family can leave me messages on the website. Something like what offexploring,com does. Is this possible?

You can build forms that can allow commenting on your site. You will need to sign up for an account and then the sites will help you generate forms. Then it will give you an html code, copy and paste this code in your html snippet option on IWEB. I am not exactly sure what kind of commenting you would like to do but these two sites can get you started. You will probably want Haloscan.
www.haloscan.com
www.wufoo.com
Or you can build a blog page, and your viewers can add comments to your blogs. Here is the IWeb video tutorial.

How to put an e signature into email signature templates?

I am trying to paste a link to my e signature in the Signature template in the email on my MacBook Pro. It has the Lion server. PLEASE HELP! I am new to MAC!

Hey Joosten,
Martino is correct, Animate compositions can't be embedded inside of emails due to email clients blocking JS for security reasons. You also won't be able to embed a SWF or video either. You might be better off creating a page to redirect recipients to if you need that additional layer of high end content.

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.

Using iWeb Templates

I have found not only iWeb templates difficult to deal with, but also iPhotos.
Whenever I try to delete a certain saved area - a most important one - I cannot. If I select to utilize a photo template I cannot delete the photo area and when
I login to the website the slideshow puts up the template photos. This is very disturbing.
Also in iPhoto I cannot create a new folder or copy to an existing folder except the Library. If this is the case then why cannot I move photos to a newly created directory or folder after copying them to the library,
I am extremely new to MAC but totally competent with UNIX, LINUX, DOS, and all versions of WINDOWS, ( SADLY )!!
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Ron

Ron:
Can you give us some information about what you're using: iPhoto an iWeb version, Quicktime version, the theme and page layout in iWeb, etc.
As far as dragging a photo into an album, where are you dragging from? If you're creating "folders" in the Source pane then yes, you can't drag a photo into them. Then will only take albums, slideshows, books, calendars, cards and other albums.
So instead of creating folders in the Source pane, create an album and put the photos into it. You can use folders to further organize the albums. But albums are the primary photo container (except for rolls of course).
What saved area are you referring to? If you've selected a photo page then yes, you can't delete the section that is used to house the photos for the slideshow. If you don't want that, create a new page with a different layout, Welcome, About me, or blank. Whichever works best for you. The blank lets you completely customize the page, background, etc.
Do you Twango?

IWeb template copyright

So I am making a widget that is really more a of module or addition (Ie it requires several pages in its own right) that customers will be able to buy. As it is now, I have that widget embedded in an iWeb template, and this is how I would like to sell it. The majority of users will just take the widget's html/javascript code and put it into their own pages so no copyright issues there, but some of the less adept may just want to upload my widget, pages and all, and use them in their entirety.
What do you think?
I went through all of the pages that I would like to pass on - I have trimmed out a lot of the apple javascript as it really is not cross-browser capable and is fairly bloated. The code of the pages I would like to pass on mention nothing of copyright except for navbar.js which says:
"// iWeb - navbar.js // Copyright (c) 2007 Apple Inc. All rights reserved."
A few of the other ones just say:
"// Created by iWeb 2.0.4 local-build-20100911"
So maybe I can't use navbar.js, but I am fine with the other ones? What does all rights reserved mean here? Really appreciate the help. Not a lawyer and have no desire to be accosted by one. Thanks again. The answer may be in the license agreement, but I really don;t feel qualified to interpret that.

Importing .GIF into Fc will not play the animated gif in output

I imported a animated .gif (attached video.gif) into Fc (of a sequence of pics I took saved as an animated .gif)
It inported as a "bitmap image" and upon export to swf it did NOT show the .gif as an animated .gif but just shows the first frame..
(It did not put this file into an assests folder...)
So I converted the "bitmap image" into an optimaized graphic...and NOW it DOES put the original animated gif into the "assets" folder with a Graphic1.fxg and video.gif in that folder.. and If I open the gif in the assest folder it plays it as the animated .gif it is..
BUT SADLY upon export to SWF it still DOES not play the gif as an animated gif.. just the first frame...
Can I do anything in the code to tell the swf file that is exported to play the gif in the assest folder as an animated gif not just show the frame?
I did the animated gif approach becasue I setup a photoshop cs4 file with a quicktime video as a layer and Fc only brought in the first frame of the quicktime layer..
Could the next beta of Fc include the ability to import and play animated gifs as artwork as well AND/or to import Ps Cs4 video layers as videos
So I would have to created a video page in flash pro and import that as a object? into a state?
(no experience with flash pro but just bought cs4 and will try to learn FlashPro overweekend)

Interesting. I don't think this is somethign you can do in Flash Catalyst. We have .GIF support in the Flash Player but I don't think you can use a GIF asset inside Catalyst. If you need that GIF to play you'll have to embed it using Flash Builder.
But Flash Catalyst will support video version 1.0. I don't think you can turn arbitrary layers into "video" layers but you can bring in video files (like .FLV) and then attach components to behaviors (like play, stop, etc).

How to add Animated GIF to an iWeb '11 page?

Trying to take our existing website (not created in iWeb) and recreate in iWeb. Have an animated GIF on our home page. When I try to drag the GIF to the iWeb page, it's no longer animated. And when I publish, again it's no longer animated. I need help.
Doug

It should play. Publish you site to a folder on the hard drive and open it locally to see if it plays there.
What's the URL of your site so we can examine it first hand?
Make sure there's no object under the gif file. I found trying to put an image behind it would kill the gif and require me to remove the give and add it again to the page. They seem to be a little picky.

How can I put Locale.loadString("IDS_001") into button.label

I am retrieving the Locale from the system, and need to place the fields of the Array into their respective places.
One of these being for example,
IDS_001
This works, and returns what I'd probably expect. Although why it returns multiple instances I can't yet figure.
          public var vIDS_001:String;
          Locale.autoReplace = true;
                 var localeName:String = LocaleID.DEFAULT;
                 var nf:StringTools = new StringTools(localeName);
                               trace("Actual local ID: " + nf.actualLocaleIDName);
           var defLang:String = nf.actualLocaleIDName;
                                          trace( "Last Operation Status: " + nf.lastOperationStatus );
           Locale.setDefaultLang(defLang);
           Locale.setLoadCallback(localeCallback);
           //Locale.addXMLPath("defLang", "../en/PinPointPremium_en.xml");
                      Locale.addXMLPath("defLang", "../" + defLang + "/PinPointPremium_" + defLang + ".xml");
           function localeCallback(success:Boolean) {
            if (success) {
                // trace(Locale.stringIDArray); // IDS_GREETING
                 trace(Locale.loadString("IDS_001"));
                 var vIDS_001 = (Locale.loadString("IDS_001"));
                 trace("+++" + vIDS_001);
            } else {
                 trace("unable to load XML");
Actual local ID: en-GB
Last Operation Status: noError
PinPoint the Entered Address
+++PinPoint the Entered Address
PinPoint the Entered Address
+++PinPoint the Entered Address
Test Movie terminated.
This is the button code, and I'm trying to figure out how to get that IDS_001 information into the btnGPS.label. No matter what I try, it errors out
             btnGPS = new Button();
          btnGPS.width = stage.stageWidth - 20;
          btnGPS.height = 25;
          btnGPS.x = 10;
          btnGPS.alpha = 0.9;
                // btnGPS.label = "PinPoint My Current Location";
          btnGPS.setStyle("textFormat", btnFormat);
          btnGPS.y = stage.stageHeight - 46;
          btnGPS.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, btnGPSMouseClickHandler);
          addChild(btnGPS);
None of these following work in place of the original
                //btnGPS.label = Locale.loadString("IDS_001");
          //btnGPS.label = IDS_001;
                //btnGPS.label = vIDS_001;
Theoretically, loading the Locale XML file should populate the occurences of IDS_001 - but I'm totally lost now. Been looking at this for a few days and now can't see the real picture. Does anyone have any idea how I solve this please ... I know this is so simple, but I can't get it.
thanks

ok, I need to get back on track.
The app works and is fine. No problem with buttons etc. It's localization.
.... and this works - finally
private static var loc:String = null;
private static var my_txt:String = null;
// Checking for LocaleID for globalization.
// Localization stuff. AS3 2013. (using latest CS6 Flash Pro, AIR and Flex SDK libraries)
// This example is based on the iPhone/iPad, iOS Template in CS6
                              // get the system language. That's al lwe need. What language is the user using
                              loc = Capabilities.language;
                              // if it's en-GB for example, make en_GB
                              // loc = loc.replace("-","_");
                              trace("The default system: " + loc);
                              loc = "de";
                              trace("The new system: " + loc);
                              // you can add individual paths for each language like this
                              Locale.addXMLPath("en", "en/PinPointPremium_en.xml");
                              Locale.addXMLPath("de", "de/PinPointPremium_de.xml");
                              // or set your language to the system default and use that
               // I put the system language into 'loc'
                              Locale.addXMLPath(loc, loc + "/PinPointPremium_" + loc + ".xml");
                              Locale.setLoadCallback(localeCallback);
                              Locale.loadLanguageXML(loc);
                                        function localeCallback(success:Boolean) {
                                                  if(success){
                                                            //var my_txt:String = Locale.loadString("IDS_001");
                                                            my_txt = Locale.loadString("IDS_001");
                                                            trace("The IDS_001 field is: " + my_txt);
                                                            // returns "PinPoint der eingegebenen Adresse" which is ok
                                                            } else {
                                trace("unable to load XML");
/* Output

Part 2 is the Button. AND is is this that is tricking me.
I repeat - how do I put the contents of IDS_001 into btnGPS.local with
IF I can put 'loc' into the label, with
btnGPS.label = loc;
why can't I do this
btnGPS.label = Locale.loadString("IDS_001");
btnGPS = new Button();
btnGPS.width = stage.stageWidth - 20;
btnGPS.height = 25;
btnGPS.x = 10;

//btnGPS.label = "PinPoint My Current Location";
// ==============================================
// This actually works - it places "de" into the button. as it should
btnGPS.label = loc;
// this doesn't put the contents into the label
//btnGPS.label = Locale.loadString("IDS_001");

The cool little features in iWeb templates

Hi all,
I was just wondering how to get the cool little add-ons that the iWeb templates have on my site?
For example, iWeb has scissors on one of the sites. Their are also others like.. doodles, post its, "hello, my name is" I know I can simply cut and paste, but I'm looking for additional add ons. is there a stock pile of these somewhere on the web or maybe on my mac?

You can add scrolling banner text, blinking text, mouse rollover, Fancy Zoom, Show and Hide text and many other enhancements.

How do I embed .txt into my iWeb website?

HOw do I embed .txt into my iWeb website with domain purchased from go daddy.com

You want to embed a text file into a web page? To read or for downloading?
To add a multipage text file to a webpage see this demo page: Scrolling Text Box. For a single text file just drag the text file onto an iWeb page and it will automatically be added as a text box. To download the file zip, put it on your GoDaddy.com account folder and use a hyperlink to the zipped file like in this demo page: LinkTestPage

Can iWeb templates be modified?

I last used iWeb to set up a travelogue in 2006. I have 3.0.4 ('09, I think).
I may be remembering why I didn't use a template before--because I wanted something I couldn't get with the templates.
Am I correct that I can't change a background or text color, or choose to center text which is flush left on an iWeb template?
Karen

Jeff, you're a prince. I've printed out your last posts & dragged & dropped the 2 samples to my desktop, from which I can then use them I was able to do the web browser background instructions. It worked! Cool.
I'm sure this will turn out to be embarrassingly self-evident, but how did you 'copy the page background image and paste it into preview'? It has no 'handles' allowing it to be selected. Nor could I locate 'Preview'.
Now trying the paper maneuver you explained, I'm a bit stuck. What do I select for 'Page Background? I now have removed the Formal Theme text boxes, have changed footer pixels to '0', and have a horizontal rectangle of the ivory paper there. How do I make it disappear so I can then replace it with the size-able box as you describe?
By the way, I noticed right off in your video was how you changed the width of the page immediately. How did you choose 900--and I forget the vertical pixels you chose but will check again. I hate how small the page content size is. Is there a 'standard' size these days for website width & height?
Again, thanks.

Integrating an interview into my iweb page

Hi Guys,
Could anyone give me any ideas about how I could integrate an interview into my iweb site. It is a long text (currently in ms word format) w and so putting it as one continuous block on one of the iweb pages would just be too much I was thinking of some kind of pop-up windows (more PDF-ish?) with navigation arrows, but I can't seem to come up with anything.
Here's the site as it stands:

Any tips please?
Thanks in advance!

Hi QTK!
Just a quick question, where will the pdf document reside? Will it automatically copy the file into the folder of the published site?

How to prevent the insertion of rollover code when using a template

Hi there
I am designing a site in Dreamweaver using templates. These templates use rollover images. The code that DW uses for the rollover I have abstracted out into a separate javascript file, which is linked to in the header. Further, I am using window.onload() to call the preloader instead of the <body> onload event. All this works fine.
The problem is that every time I make a change to the template, DW re-inserts the rollover code into the head of the HTML file, and reinserts the preloader code into the <body> tag.
Now, I have found a solution to the <body> tag problem by changing the preload flag from 1 to 0 in the link created; it seems that DW uses this flag as in indication of whether to insert the onload code into the boday tag. So that part is fixed.
But I can't find any way to keep DW from inserting the unecessary and redundant rollover code into the head of the generated HTML files. Is there a way I can prevent this from happening?
...Mike

Just don't externalize your js until the very last step before publishing.
