Ugly blue loading boxes... how do I get rid?

My uploaded pages on internet open with ugly blue boxes while they load on PC. this looks very unprofessional and I am hoping there is a way to simply change the colour or get rid of them all together. I haven't found any thing on the forum so maybe this is a rare problem which is easiy fixed...? hope so - Thanks in advance x

As varkgirl mentioned IE does not play well with png files. Here are some tips I've collected from this forum on making iWeb sites more compatible with the darkside. Maybe one or two will be of help to you.1 - do not use and frames or borders, etc. around photos.
2 - don't use any reflections.
3 - create your own navigation bar with linked text* and turn of the iWeb Navigation bar.
The nav bar is all png based.
*Put your linked text directly under the Navigation bar. Then turn off the nav bar in the Inspector window. The nav bar will disappear and the linked text will move up to the top of the page.
4 - use only the web safe fonts from the Font pane.
5 - do not use drop shadow on fonts.
6 - turn off smart quotes.
The above will reduce the number and size of files associated with a web page quite a bit. Photos with fancy frames and reflections can generate a thumbnail png of around 110KB whereas the plain version will be a jpg of only 28KB. Although it doesn't sound like a lot, it will speed up loading of the page and be more darkside (i.e. PC) friendly.
Run a test with a test site and publish to a folder. Then follow the hints above and publish to another folder and compare folders.
Do you Twango?

  • Using 6.0. Cannot stop the search engine "ASK" from loading. How do I get rid of it completely?

    I am using ver 6.0. I continually keep getting the search engine "ASK" as my primary search engine altho I continually either drop it down the list or even delete it! How can I permanently delete it? It comes back after a shutdown of firefox or a computer reboot.

    Hi
    I had this issue too after installing a couple of fileserve download programs.
    It is pretty simple to stop firefox jumping to this earch engine.
    In your firefox browser type
    about:config
    It will ask are you sure that you are going to be careful.
    Select yes
    In the filter bar type fileserve
    For all of the results that it shows Right click and select reset
    This will take your system back to normal

  • How do I get rid of previous search topics when I look for a new search

    When I type in the search box I get my old search items from a drop down box how do I get rid of old topics

    I don't know whether you can remove individual items, but you can flush all of your form and search bar autocomplete history using the steps in this article: [[Clear your browsing history and other personal data on Firefox for Android]].

  • How do I get rid of the Facebook blue box on my Firefox pages???

    How do I get rid of - and why is - the little blue box with Facebook asking me to go through Facebook instead of directly to where I want to go???

    Thank you

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    *Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

  • How do I get rid of the blue box on my iCal on my iMac?

    When I add an event in iCal, using my iMac, it is highlighted within a blue box on my iMac.  When I add an event using my iPhone or iPad the blue box does not show up on my iMac. How do i get rid of the blue box on my iMac?

    To take a screen shot on your mac: http://www.apple.com/findouthow/mac/#capturescreen
    And then when you reply to a post you click the camera button at the top of the post window to attach an image.
    From your description it sounds like you are adding an event to iCal and it is syncing (which is what its supposed to do).  If you see something in iCal on the Mac and you don't want it there, click on it once and then go to Edit > Delete.
    If you still can't delete that event:
    1. First make an iCal backup:  Click on each calendar on the left hand side of iCal one at a time highlighting it's name and then going to File Export > Export and saving the resulting calendar file to a logical location for safekeeping.
    2. Go to iCal > Quit iCal
    3. Remove the following to the trash and restart your computer:
    Home > Library > Caches > com.apple.ical
    Home > Library > Calendars > Calendar Cache, Cache, Cache 1, 2, 3, etc. (Do not remove Sync Cache or Theme Cache if present)
    --- NOTE: To get to "Home > Library" in Lion: Click anywhere on the desktop and then click on the "Go" menu at the top of the computer screen while holding down the "option" key on the keyboard.  You will see "Library" in the menu.
    4. Launch iCal and test.
    If the issue persists:
    1. Go to iCal > Quit iCal
    2. Remove the following to the trash and restart your computer:
    Home > Library > Caches > com.apple.ical
    Home > Library > Calendars > Calendar Cache, Cache, Cache 1, 2, 3, etc. (Do not remove Sync Cache or Theme Cache if present)
    Home > Library > Preferences > com.apple.ical (There may be more than one of these. Remove them all.)
    --- NOTE: Removing these files may remove any shared (CalDAV) calendars you may have access to. You will have to re-add those calendars to iCal > Preferences > Accounts.
    3. Launch iCal and test.

  • How do I get rid of blue boxes surrounding links?

    Viewing .pdf files in Reader on my Android tablet, all my links are shown in a light blue field.  This looks terrible and does not happen when I view them in other .pdf readers.
    How can I get rid of these???
    Thanks!

    I don't think you can change the text box field properties using Reader; you would need an Acrobat type of app.  The blue field box lets you know there is an active hyperlink and not just blue print that is underlined.  If you open the same pdf in another pdf viewer you probably see the url with a blue underline but it isn't active.  Kind of frustrating to see a blue underlined url and it doesn't work when you want to jump to it.  In Adobe Reader, the light blue field box lets you know the link is active and not just blue print that is underlined.  If you want to be able to follow the link you won't be able to in other readers.  It's also handy to be able to identify the active links to more easily avoid making an accidental jump.  The hyper-link field boxes are not always blue - in a colored background they might look like shadows.  The colored field box should not show when you print the doc or when you view on other than mobile devices.

  • I have a blue bar above the internet page tab that says "downloading the latest applications." It hasn't finished the downloading in the 2 weeks since I loaded Firefox. How do I get rid of it?

    After I loaded Firefox and used it the 1st time, a blue bar appears above the internet page tab that says "Downloading the latest applications". No matter how long I leave the internet and compute on, it never finishes downloading. And every time I restart Firefox, the same blue bar appears. How do I get rid of this?
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == After I loaded Firefox the 1st time, and every time I open the Firefox browser.

    This can be a problem with the Silverlight plugin.

  • How do I get rid of the blue text that says no savings found?

    on every site I use these random words are in light blue and if i roll the mouse over it a small box pops up and says no savings found, in the lower right corner says adfull. Is this a firefox thing ( it doesn't happen on IE) if so how do I get rid of it? It is annoying especially appearing on my game site
    I use everyday.

    '''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
    ''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
    * You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
    ''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
    '''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
    ''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
    ''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''

    Perhaps you are loading a template that has a text block already on it.
    You might try the blank template option and set that as your go to template in your preferences

  • An interactive dialogue box appears. How do I get rid of this invader? I don't know what it is & don't want to open it. Is there a way to find out what it is without letting an intruder in?

    I believe I'm using the latest Firefox. I download it whenever you tell me it's available. I have Windows Vista. This box appears in the desktop area (which MSN seems to have redesigned from the way I had it). This seems like a boarder which hops on to my computer after I do a search on Yahoo, but I don't really know where it comes from, what it is, or what it's doing.
    One time you showed me a box which let me get rid of cookies. I don't know how to call that box back, but I'd like to

  • The curser includes a text box from a previous image or link when the curser is positioned on the side of the page. i click and it goes away but only to return again on the next launched page. how do i get rid of this?

    the cursor includes a text box from a previous image or link when the cursor is positioned on the side of the page. it will mainly happen when i hit "back" from the page i was on. i click and it goes away but only to return again on the next launched page. i also keep several tabs open and it will carry over to any one of them i go to. how do i get rid of this?
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == when i upgraded to most recent version 3.6.8

    A number of extensions can cause that problem, you'll need to do a little troubleshooting to find out which extension is causing that to happen for you.

    As far as I know, this has never been a feature of Firefox's core. Do you have an addon such as New Tab JumpStart or New Tab King that gave you this feature in Firefox 4? It's possible that whatever addon gave you this feature before hasn't been updated to work with Firefox 5. If you don't want to wait for that addon to update, you could try either of the addons I mentioned above.

    Hi,
    According to your descriptioin, I don't think this is system problem, it should be Intel driver problem. It would be contact Intel to confirm this issue whether this is their driver problem.
