Safari Rendering iWeb Pages Incorrectly

I just observed today 7/10 that Safari is incorreclty displaying iWeb Pages. On mine, as well as my friends site, who uses the same theme, Safari is drawing a thin white border around the page and showing question marks. It's not showing up this way when I look at the pages with Firefox. I'm wondering if anyone else is experiencing the same issues. Could the move to MobileMe have anything to do with this? I found the timing of this very interesting.

Nothing has changed? The website displays correctly now and the thin white line which was present yesterday as the MobileMe transition was underway is no longer visible. Again from Apple: +MobileMe is built to work seamlessly with iWeb. You simply create your site, click Publish, and it’s online. There are no settings or configurations to remember — *MobileMe does it all behind the scenes* and all you see are the beautiful results+
*"MobileMe does it all behind the scenes"*. We see the results of all their work behind the scenes. Well, if things I saw yesterday were wrong, isn't there a good chance that there was something wrong with the work done by MobileMe? I guess Apple is lying here since according to you, MobileMe is a service and has nothing to do with web pages being displayed. They were attempting to do it all behind the scenes yesterday and as you are aware, things weren't running too smoothly. Today I managed to log into MobileMe just fine which I was able to do only once yesterday. And guess what? My website also displays correctly today! But as you say...one has nothing to do with the other. Whatever dude...
A bit of advice... A less haughty and condescending tone in your responses towards users who post legitimate questions and concerns about Apple related issues, would be appreciated by all. That beind said...I'm done and have wasted enough time going back and forth with you.

Safari's iWeb pages much worse than Firefox!?

Why does Safari show a much worse (darker, pixilated) version of my iWeb pages than Firefox? Firefox is a true respresentation of my iWeb website - in colour and layout, Safari isn't. Any suggestions?

Hi..
If you are not awrare, iWeb will not longer be available starting June 30th, 2012.
Read here > Apple - MobileMe - MobileMe transition and iCloud
For help with the site dissimilarity in browsers, post your topic in the iWeb forum here. That way you can receive feedback directly from iWeb users.
You can also ask about options for web hosting for your site after June 30th.

Ios7 Safari displays web page incorrectly

ios7 devices (iPad and iPhone) do not display LSE portfolio web page correctly. Graphics and text boxes at top of page are displayed as text, presumably not recognized as html code of some sort.
LSE say they have checked it out and there is nothing wrong with their code. Apple Genius at Apple store says there is nothing wrong with ios7 and/or Safari.
Someone is wrong or there is a setting somewhere in ios7 that I don't know about.
Any ideas?

The units are missing for the left and top properties, so Firefox is ignoring them as the web console shows.<br />
There should also be a line break before this rule for readability.
Could it be possible that there is a problem with the DOCTYPE if the rule get applied (it shows units in the
screenshot).
<pre>ul.pureCssMenu {
display:block;
zoom:1;
position:absolute;
z-index: 1000;
left: 100;
top: 200;
}</pre>
The same here with missing units in height and width:
<pre>ul.pureCssMenu li.sep span{
float:none; padding-right:0;
width:3;
height:100%;
display:inline-block;
background-color:#CECECE; background-image:none;}
ul.pureCssMenu ul li.sep span{
width:100%;
height:3;
}</pre>

IPad Safari FAILS to correctly view iWeb Pages

If you view this address on your computer, you get everything correct, but if you view the same iWeb-generated site on an iPad, many of the pages are screwed up:
hdslrreview.com
Why is this? Is it a failure of the iPad, iPad Safari or iWeb itself?
(iPad 32 GB)

Clearly, we are all going to need updates to the 1.0 software. There is a site that I access that is used for communication. There is a reply window and I cannot type into that window using the iPad tho it works just fine from my other Macs. I was on another site and things did not line up correctly on my iPad screen. This iPad is a work in progress and it will require some patience while Apple works to resolve issues like this one and others.

Why will Safari not play MP3s embedded in my iWeb pages when Firefox can?

One would have thought that if iWeb was going to get picky over the scenarios in which it would behave correctly, it would favour Apple-centric enviroments. But this doesn't appear to be the case when building an iWeb site with embedded MP3 files.
The published site behaves perfectly when viewed in Firefox and yes, even IE's latest incarnation. Files may take a while to download but they play when the download has finished. Safari is a different story. The MP3 files embedded in some pages simply will not play when viewed with Safari.
This page in particular has never worked in Safari -
http://www.whisperycat.co.uk/version_5/sounds/Entries/2011/3/23_Promenade.html
A small blue questionmark appears instead of the 'Play' button.
Any workarounds or is it just the case that Safari and iWeb are incompatible on this fundamental point???

Well it looks as though I answered my own question. A Google search revelas that Safari has had over 2 years' history of reported problems with the mp3 format -
http://www.google.co.uk/search?client=safari&rls=en&q=safari+wont+play+mp3&ie=UT F-8&oe=UTF-8&redir_esc=&ei=nkulT9_wA82g8gOPj8ntBA
- and the solution is... STOP USING MP3 FILES
Yes, mp3 format is out, mp4 format is in. SO I'll need to upload MP4 versions of my audio files and then retry.

Why does safari load iWeb authored pages so slow compared to, eg, firefox?

Safari latest Version 3.1.2 (5525.20.1) takes at least four times as long to load one of my iWeb authored pages as Fireforx 3.0.1. (That's with both apps having empty caches - if they've both been to the page before Safari performs even worse in comparison. One would have thought if any app was going to be optimised for iWeb pages it'd be Safari. Apparently not.
I've search here and in the Safari fora, and tried the delete safari plist, reset safari etc.

What version of Safari on what Mac running what version of OS X?

Text in iWeb pages.

Dear all:
I am experiencing a problem with iWeb.
The text I create on iWeb pages don't seem to be rendered as text but rather images. After I created several pages for my business' web page, publish them to a folder and open with any browser (I use Safari) the text can't be selected but appears as one image block that I can drag just like an image and save to my desktop.
Is this the way iWeb handles text ?
This obviously represents a big problem as the pages can not be properly indexed with search engines such as Google and it affects the overall ranking of my business' web site.
How can iWeb create text that is rendered as text once pages are published ?
In case it can't what is one supposed to do to have the text on the pages appear as text to the spiders from search engines ?
Thank you in advance,
Joseph Chamberlain

This ALT tags you are referring to, are they the tags
associated with images for accessibility purposes
(visually impaired users) ?
I don't know if they are used in that way. I do know that this text in the ALT tags is displayed whenever the actual image becomes unavailable. Have a look at the source HTML of your own page to get an idea of what this looks like.
In regards to keywords how can one enter keywords for
differenet iWeb pages to improve ranking with search
engines ?
I think with the modern search engines like Google, keywords and other meta-information has become less useful and certainly not necessary to get your page indexed properly. These search engines work mostly off contextual information like the ALT tags and other things contained in the HTML code. If you would like to add meta information, that is certainly possible....but not through iWeb directly. You would need to edit the HTML and add them yourself. Here is a thread in which I have posted the general format...

Hyperlink to iWeb Page not working

I have created an iWeb page. I have a hyperlink to the page on a document. The hyperlink takes me to a mobile me error page ie "We can't find the page you requested. Please make sure the URL is spelled and capitalized correctly, and try again."
Yet if I copy and paste the exact same url I have entered in the hyperlink filed into the address bar on Safari it goes to the right page no problems.
Any ideas please?

Is that the page you're trying to link to in the PDF document?
I was able to place a hyperlink in an rtfd text file and and Word 2008 document to your web page that works. The link in the Word document takes about 5 to 7 seconds to get to Safari and open the Page. The rtfd document, created with Bean
Bean, a great, free word processor, opens the page in Safari almost immediately.
In Work I used the Insert ➙ Hyperlink menu option and entered the URL of you page and the text to use as the link. For the Bean document I clicked and dragged the link title at the top of your web page onto the Bean page and saved as a rtfd formatted file. If the page is saved as a plain text document the hyperlink is lost.
Click to view full size
If I do a Print ➙ PDF ➙ Save as PDF from Bean I get a working link in the resulting PDF file. But with Word the link does not work.

IWeb page printed from iWeb site comes out BLACK on some browsers

I made and run a website for a local art group. iWeb works well for this purpose. I publish the site to our domain. The main site is for the public and a second site, password protected and reached through the main site, is for members.
I've put the entry form for our biggest annual exhibition on the website, intending that members can print it from there (most have hard copies as well). Printing works perfectly from Safari. But many members have PCs (grrr) and use things like Firefox and IE.
Firefox prints the iWeb pages totally BLACK. IE prints okay on some computers and not on others. A clue is that, if you look fast as you open an iWeb page in IE, you see all the layout components in light blue; it immediately disappears. But that is the part that prints out black.
What on earth is causing this and HOW can it be prevented?? I have used NO background color on my pages.
Thanx,

That ain't right! What you need to do is use web-safe fonts...

Viewing iWeb pages in other browsers/platforms

Any known issues with viewing iWeb pages in other browsers like IE (older versions especially) or on a PC platform? I'm ready to build a big but simple family site, but my first test page (jnmobecker.home.comcast.net) is not playing nice. I see it fine on Safari on my Mac, other Macs (at work for instance) see it fine, one friend on a PC sees it fine, others on PCs do not. Specifically, all they can see is the top banner image of the three kids. I did try it on a PC at work today on IE, and I watched as the progress bar loaded 20+ images (the thumbnails and slideshow components I presume) but then nothing but that top bar. Thoughts and any sugggestions are much appreciated, thanks.

There are still problems with Firefox and IE: in particular, the font changes. In Safari it looks as it should, but others it reverts to some courier or verdana font.

IWeb pages Do Not Correctly Display In W3C's Browser/Editor - Amaya 9.54

Earlier I posted that lastest version of Firefox would not display iWeb pages correctly. However, iWeb pages have never displayed correctly in the W3C's browser/editor Amaya. I just tried the Amaya upgrade (9.54) and the iWeb pages still don't display correctly NOR do any of my links work!? Everything displays correctly in Safari (and now Firefox?!)
Here's my iWeb page:
http://usablemakeover.com/publicopenspacedesign101/Blog/Blog.html
To download and check with Amaya:
http://www.w3.org/Amaya/

The issue isn't whether or not users use Amaya for web browsing - the issue is: does iWeb produce valid HTML and CSS!
Since Amaya is produced by the W3C - who establishes the standards for valid HTML and CSS (yes/no?) - anyone using iWeb to produce content - expects iWeb to produce valid pages. Or is there a problem with Amaya?
Here's how to check for valid HTML and CSS. Just paste my URL (or your own iWeb page URLs):
http://usablemakeover.com/publicopenspacedesign101/Blog/Blog.html
into: http://validator.w3.org/
and http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/
You will likely be surprised with the results.

IWeb page loads half white, please help!

Hello everyone, I have a very annoying problem. I have the background on my iWeb page set to black, but nine times out of ten when I visit it online, the bottom part of the page loads white. I refresh and I refresh and it keeps doing it, then eventually it goes away after the millionth refresh. But sometimes it doesn't appear at all.
How can I make it so that the page always loads with a completely black background?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

As far as I can tell it is an minor annoyance I have seen this in my own websites from time to time as well as other CSS websites created with something other than iWeb. But, so far I have only experienced this in Safari.

Using iWeb pages in emails

I've created a site to run alongside an existing shopping site and host additional content. Originally I was going to upload the iWeb pages to the shopping site's server but Mac's absurdly long URL's for blogs prevented that.
Nevertheless, I have used my dot.mac account to host the additional content.
However, I would like to send emails to our registered users that mimics a page I have created in iWeb - a html email newsletter if you like.
Can I do that?
I've tried highlighting the whole page and pasting it into an email window (Mac Mail) but that doesn't really work as all the images and text get jumbled up. Is there a way round this or am I expecting too much of iWeb at this stage.
The site is at:
http://web.mac.com/lewiseckett/iWeb/UGOsports/Welcome.html

Go to the site in Safari then in Safari go to File/Mail Contents of This Page (Apple - i).

But we can't find the iWeb page you've requested

This is getting FRUSTRATING!
I have created my iWeb pages, clicked PUBLISH ALL TO .mac I get a CONGRATULATIONS message that it's loaded, I click VISIT SITE, and I get this bloody error message
"We're Sorry but we can't find the iWeb page you've requested" It's possible that:
· The address was entered incorrectly. Check your spelling and try again.
· The .Mac member of this name has either created a page and removed it or has never published an iWeb site.
· There is no .Mac member of this name. If you'd like this member name for yourself, sign up for a .Mac account right now and have your own iWeb site in minutes.
Well, I don't know what the deal is. I have done everything I can think of, I am doing everything I am supposed to do! HELP!!!

Nope. Says does not exist. IT DOES! LOL... trust me.

There is no site name between "iweb/" and "/Welcome.html, so that url can't be correct. What is the name of your site inside the iWeb app.

How to put some iWeb pages onto my Blogger blog?

I am using iWeb '09, 3.0.3 (501)
There are two pages on my website that I would like to put on my personal Blogger blog. The iWeb page has a hyperlink that opens up another page. That first page also has some lightning flashes behind the old haunted mansion. (The URL links to those pages are below.)
I would like to somehow get the HTML of the first page and the page that comes up when a person clicks "Enter."
*Please, how can I do it? Theoretically, I see that if I can get the page into HTML and then paste that HTML into a Blogger page, then I can get the page. But how do I get the HTML from my iWeb page?*
The page is here: http://web.mac.com/lorna6/Websiteof_Lorna_Alexander/TheyreAlive.html
The page that comes up when a viewer clicks the "Enter" link is here: http://web.mac.com/lorna6/Websiteof_Lorna_Alexander/OldMansion.html
Also, the link on the Index page is here: http://web.mac.com/lorna6/Websiteof_Lorna_Alexander/SITEMENU.html
and I want to put that into a gadget in the sidebar of my Blogger blog. How to do it?
The story that I had earlier intended to put into this website is now going to be in my blog.
-L

As iWeb only creates the html pages upon publishing you need to publish your site from iWeb to your desktop and it will then appear in your site folder. Double click one of the pages in your site folder and Safari will open it.
To get the html, you can either open the page in Safari and click on View Source and copy the code from here or you can download a text editor such as TextWrangler and open your html page with TextWrangler and copy the code from here.
iWeb code it quite messy so copying and pasting it to your Blog might not work that well - it can be done in iWeb, but not sure about Blogger?
