Seeing iweb pages using Explorer 7

I work for a university in which the majority of students, faculty and staff use PC's not to mention Internet Explorer 7. I've developed a website using iweb, and unfortunately all of the images, buttons, links are showing up with a small "x" in the upper left hand corner and everything has a think gray box around it like a border. This only happens when using Explorer 7. Is there a way to fix this?

I just went through two days and three calls to different tech crews on a site I had purchased hosting space on. I had originally built my site on a Unix server site using iWeb. Everything worked fine and it could be viewed easily by most browsers, all Mac formats and Explorer browsers on Windows machines. I switched to the web hosting, domain name site which uses Linex servers and uploaded my iWeb site publishing folders. Explorer browsers on Windows machines could no longer open my site to any reasonable extent (no graphics, minimal text,no functioning links). All Mac formats, Fire Fox, Mozilla all still worked fine( the Exlplorer browser on my Mac accessed it fine but I was told that my Macs operating system was aiding it). I don't know how to write or correct code as was suggested by some of the techs, in fact that is why I purchased this software. I am pleased with the way it enabled me to build a site but if I can't be accessed by Explorer browsers it is very limiting.

Can Window users see iWeb pages???

I have published a couple of pages which perfectly show using Safari. Since I started using iWeb I get all kinds of complaints from people using Windows. Does anybody know how to deal with this? I already advised them to buy a Mac but that seems to go a step to far at least for the moment (-:

Without some specifics about the problem it is really hard for anyone to provide useful help. You might do a search of this forum on "windows" to see the many messages already posted on the various possible issues.

Able to see web page using back button even after logout

Hi,
I have created a web application using creator.
I have disabled caching by putting following meta tags inside the <ui:head> tag to prevent caching of the sensitive web pages.
<meta http-equiv="pragma" content="no-cache"/>
<META HTTP-EQUIV="CACHE-CONTROL" CONTENT="NO-CACHE"/>
<META HTTP-EQUIV="CACHE-CONTROL" CONTENT="NO-STORE"/>
<META HTTP-EQUIV="EXPIRES" CONTENT="-1"/>
<META HTTP-EQUIV="PRAGMA" CONTENT="NO-STORE"/>
But after logout when the user clicks on the back button the user is still able to see the previous page visited. Is there any work around for this? I am using firefox. Have not checked whether this happens in other browsers or not.
Would really appretiate if you help me.
Regs,
Shastri.

I understand that this question has been asked multiple times and till now my search for any possible workaround for the issue has been futile. If anybody out there knows or finds a work around, please let me know.
Thanks in advance.

I WEB 08 cant see other pages in explorer

Hello,
Had a client who has internet explorer and couldn't see myimages on my picture pages, anybody know why.
Thanks

Thanks for responding; I have updated to version 11.0.0 from Acrobat Pro 8.3.1. The function/menu options across the board have been reduced to basics and I can't find any of the menus available in the old version including the Form Edit/duplicate options. Not sure if Adobe have stripped it assuming it can all be done from Indesign; but clearly as the "go to page" function isn't supported from InDesign, I need to add this to the buttons through Acrobat. frustrating!

Looking for 'music player' widget to play songs dragged onto iWeb page

Has anyone found a 'music player' widget that can be embedded into an iWeb page, and that can then load and play the songs that have been dragged onto that page?
I have found several such widgets that can scan a URL for mp3 files, and I have successfully embedded each of those widgets into an iWeb page using the HTML Snippet, but none of them could find the mp3 files that I dragged onto the page, even though I supplied the widget with the URL for that page.

Wyodor, I just wanted to let you know that I am having a lot of fun with the WimpyPlayer, and I like the skin you sent me. Thank you so much.
I've been playing around with it. I had to reduce the height of the widget to fit on my webpage, but when I did, the text became too small to read, so instead, I went into the skin's jpeg and cut out the midsection of the playlist area. Then I had to readjust the playlist's number of lines displayed and its slider size to fit. I also changed the color scheme to match my webpage, and some of the Help tags. All in all, it looks great, and I am very happy with it.
The one feature I miss from when I was using iWeb's built-in QuickTime player is the ability to have a photo (such as an album cover) displayed with the music. Do you happen to know of any music players that enable you to attach a photo with each track or album?

Increasing Mobile Me Gallery on iWeb Page

I am inserting a MobileMe Gallery into my Web Page. Unfortunately the size is to small 160 x 140.
I want to at least double the size.
I click on the outer edge and find the 6 small boxes that would normally allow increase/decrease
and no change of cursor when over the box.
I have looked in Inspector and the size cannot be altered.
Is there any way to increase the size.
Any assistance gratefully appreciated.

That size if fixed by iWeb. However, you can embed the gallery itself into an iWeb page, using any of the modes, mosaic, grid, etc. as in this demo page: MobileMe Galleries and Quicktime Movies. But changing the size of the widget is a user function. You can send a feature request to Apple via http://www.apple.com/feedback/iweb.html.

Link iWeb Page To External Page

How do I link a page I've created in iWeb to my Blogger site? Meaning - when folks click on "Blogs & Podcasts" in the iWeb index, they will be automatically brought to my Blog site (external page)? I've tried everything and nothing seems to work!
I don't want to have an image on my iWeb Blog page where it's hyperlinked...I literally want folks to just be brought to my external Blogger page. Is this possible?

Hi Juliet,
You could create an auto-popup window you will find instructions on the following page
http://alyeska.altervista.org/en/iWeb_Music.html
BUT the auto popup window will not work for those whom have set their browser to block popup windows (for security reasons and because they're annoying sometimes...)
Another solution would be to embed the Blog into an iWeb page using an iframe like the example on this page:
http://alyeska.altervista.org/en/iWeb_Blogging.html
Another solution is provided here

Iweb pages not easily viewed by windows Explorer users. FF&NN more better.

My work colleagues, who are all on windows computers defaulted to use internet explorer, can't load my iweb pages.
The music halts, the pages stutter and stagger and it takes forever to load. and then one can not scroll... The problem seems to disappear when i have people download firefox and netscape navigator and call up the site with those browsers. But some folks don't want to take the time to do that. Default Internet Explorer should work with iweb-built pages. Is there a fix?
Also, on my mac.com page, the number of hits is no longer reflected. I recently upgraded to iweb (ilife) 08, (from earlier version that came with the Macpro when i bought it in july)Before the upgrade, I could always see the pages and how many hits all in one place! i have rebuilt the pages and added other pages in the new iweb 08, but still can't see the hits. do you have a fix, does anyone have a fix?

There's been a lot of stuff written in this forum about Internet Explorer. A quick search will keep you reading for hours!
A lot of the problems disappear if the user has the latest version of IE and QuickTime Player installed.
Also they have to have Java Script enabled.
One good idea I saw on a website was an announcement that "this website is best viewed in Firefox" with the Firefox download logo beside it. Get it here...
http://www.spreadfirefox.com/?q=affiliates/homepage
Try to educate the we surfers one at a time!
I would post your hit counter issue as a separate topic since a lot of people will not bother reading about IE as so much has already been said.
I am answering this because your topic was getting ignored and the hit counter issue may get a better response if you try again.

Unable to see existing documents in a Custom Sharepoint 2013 Document library while saving a document directly in it using explorer mode

Hi,
We have a SharePoint 2013 doc library based on a custom template, which has been migrated from 2010.
We are unable to see existing documents in a Document library created using this template while saving a document directly in it using explorer mode, However we can save files and even see them in explorer mode, only when we try to save a new document there
directly, we cant see the old docs.
All the OOB libraries work fine.
Below is the normal behavior while saving a file, however nothing comes up when saving on this custom template library

Solved it myself guys... (Well the major part)

Problem with iWeb Quicktime page using Boot Camp Windows XP

I used iWeb '08 to create a one-page web site with a short QuickTime movie (.mov file). The movie plays fine in Mac OS X Safari. I have a Windows XP Boot Camp partition, and when I boot into Windows and load the web page using Internet Explorer, the movie will not play. It gives a plug-in error and the browser crashes. The same thing happens with Windows Safari. However, the movie plays fine using Windows Firefox.
Is this an iWeb problem or Boot Camp problem? I don't have access to a straight Windows PC. An suggestions will be appreciated. The URL for the web page is:
http://www.hearnweb.com/avian/

The problem was a setting in QuickTime. I enabled "Safe Mode" in the Advanced tab of QuickTime Preferences, which did the trick.

How can I add a podcast episode to an existing web page using iWeb?

How can I add an episode to an existing web page using iWeb?
I could probably figure this out but I am afraid if I make changes to the site and re-upload it to the podcast area I will have just doubled it. I see them repeated from time to time.
What is the proper protocal? Thanks

Hi apple-owner,
Method 1.
To create this scatter-plot, I selected the whole of Columns A and B. (Shift click on the Column reference tabs).
The plot ignores blank rows, but they are "ready" for new data:
Method 2
If you did not select whole columns, you can extend the "active" rows. Rows 1-5 selected:
Add more data rows and drag the fill handle (small white circle, bottom right) down

I am trying to create a pop up page, using iweb 08

I want to create a custom size pop up page using iweb08, using a html generator, I created the html code, I plugged it in using the html snippet widget. But its not working. Do you know what I am doing wrong?
I love the look of http://jquery.com/demo/thickbox/ but I really don't understand the instructions, and if I did would it work with iweb?
I have to say, I am pregnant, and my brain isn't working as well as it usually does. So please think of me as a not very intelligent person when you are explaining how to create the pop up.
Bless u for your help.

You may want to consider Lytebox: http://www.dolem.com/lytebox it's much lighter than jquery & thickbox.
You can see example here: http://web.mac.com/mhartinger/mark-andrewhartinger.com/Home.html
Mark has all the code in his page's html snippets.
I have integrated Lytebox into iWeb, but it involves with quite a bit of coding; I'm planning on writing an app to automatically generate all needed the code.

Embedding Iweb page into Craigslist using mobile me link?

It just occurred to me that because I have a MacBook for work and a MacBookPro for home, I am using two different OS. My MacBook is still running on Leopard, but my personal computer has Snow Leopard. The blog issue is appearing no matter which computer I'm publishing from. And as of right now, iWeb is not freezing like it was earlier this evening. But what's really curious is that after publishing from both OS, the blog issue remains the same and so does the error reading. I wish that I could attach the snapshot I took from both computers. If anyone is interested in seeing the errors from the snapshot, I'd be glad to email them to you.
On another note, when I copied my domain file (from my laptop with Snow Leopard) to my iDisk to transfer to my laptop with Leopard, it wouldn't open at all. This is another new issue for me as I haven't had problems with this in the past.
So, Snow Leopard appears to have a bug, but even with using Leopard, I am still experiencing the same errors with the blog.
I just wanted to throw that out there because I really need my website up and running for the first day of school with my students next Thursday. =/

When accessing certain links I get the follwoing on a white page: It Works! This does not happen at the link using Explorer

An example of this is when I clicked on the link for the weather .gov radar site on my bookmark it did not go to the radar site but returned the white pager with the owrs: It Works!
This has occurred on other sites where I have tried to access a link. I used Explorer and was able to access the site.
Any thoughts? I have run an antivirus scan to no avail.
Thank you

Do a malware check with some malware scanning programs on the Windows computer.<br />
You need to scan with all programs because each program detects different malware.<br />
Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of their databases before doing a scan.<br /><br />

Netscape / Internet Explorer cannot show iweb pages

My iweb uploaded to .mac website looks great on Safari.
Then had a look at the same site on Netscape and Internet Explorer, (haven't tried mozilla/firefox yet)
The photos didn't show up at all, no navigation menu, no slideshow button, lousy formatting
What's going on ?
Shouldn't a web site be seen by ALL browsers ?
Is there any way to create a website with Iweb that works on all browsers?
Is Iweb only for the Mac community ?
Please help
Cheers

my site on anything but Safari was a disaster. After hours and hours of putting it together to use as my personal work website I was ******!!! Called Apple but that was pretty useless... hodgepodge information about how each browser is proprietary and Apple can only develop and attest for iWeb and Safari. If it only displays on Safari, I believe it is a utterly useless program. Apple suggested I learn HTML for designing a site... what? I am still learning how to use my Mac and iWeb, if I was that computer savy I may as well just stick with PC. Anyway, I went through my site and did away with a lot of "decorations" such as shadowing and fancy text styles and some picture frames... and it did make a very big improvement, still looks a little different than what I see on my MBP but acceptable none the less. iWeb is a great concept and I hope Apple really tries to get the kinks out of it... I can run Windows programs on my Mac now, why the heck can't I see my website on Explorer... for a computer geek it can't be that difficult. Chop-Chop Apple.
