Undesired characters appear when my site is published to web

Hi. I'm working on a blog with iWeb. The text as it appears in iWeb looks great. However, after I've uploaded it via ftp to my server and I view the page with Safari, little diamonds with question marks in them (�) appear in various places - frequently where there is supposed to be an apostrophe, or when I've left blank space. I tried setting Safari text encoding to UTF-8, Default, Western (ISO Latin 1), Western (Mac OS Roman) but no matter which encoding I use, weird symbols still appear. I don't want to publish my blog until I can get rid of these undesired characters. Any ideas?

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. The question marks have to do with how the FTP client is set up. See Tom Gewocke's site Tips for Using iWeb with non-.Mac Servers particularly this section:Problems with Strange Characters or Display and this page on fixing them: Fixing Strange Characters

Names of columns don't appear when I read the report on WebI 6.5 ??

Names of columns don't appear when I read the report on WebI 6.5
The report was developped on BO 6.5 and was published on WebI.
When I read the report with the HTML mode, the names of the colums appear.
When I read the report with the PDF mode, the names of the columns don't appear.
I try to read the report with the HTML mode and after, I try to save it in pdf but it doesn't work. (it is the operation of conversion of pdf which doesn't work - it's very long and... nothing appends)

Hello,
This is the default column. I didnu2019t add column heading. But I replaced the name of the column by words.
I havenu2019t change the property of column heading.
It is a cross tab.

Hi Ginette,
The site that you are referring to does not appear to be a template that you can get your hands on, however, I will suggest that you contact the owner via their contact us page and see what can be done.

No preview or preview button appears when I try to print a web page, as it does for any other file. How can I arrange for preview?

n the dialog box that appears when I try to print any web page, there is neither a preview nor a preview button, (although there is a preview if I open the web item as a pdf file, but that takes an extra step. A preview appears when I print any other file on my computer (a Macbook). Is there a setup procedure that will give a preview when printing one or several web pages?

The Print button in the "3-bar" Firefox menu button drop-down list opens the Print Preview window.
You can click the Print button in the Print Preview window or use the Print item in the File menu (File > Print) or use the Ctrl+P shortcut to have access to the print selection item and other print setup options.
* Tap the Alt key or press F10 to show the Menu bar.
* Use "View > Toolbars > [X] Menu Bar" to have the menu bar visible permanently.

Satellite C50-A-1CK double characters appear when typing

All
I have a brand new Satellite C50-A-1CK which is perfect for my needs EXCEPT I continually get double characters appearing on screen when typing which is:
A. VERY frustrating
B. Wasting a lot of time as I have to keep correcting words to remove the duplicate characters.
Please does anyone know of a fix for this? It can affect any key on the keyboard and it doesn't matter if I type slow or quick, press the keys firmly or as light as possible.
Have checked for firmware updates but none available.
Thanks in advance!

The Touchpad issue you have I mayy be able to help with....
It sounds like you have the "Enable Edge Swipes" set on. This will bring up Windows 8 menu on the right hand side of the screen when ever you swipe from the right hand side of the keypad towards the middle.
Yours is a different model to mine but assuming the setting is in the same place then:
open Control Panel
Open Hardware and Sound
Under Devices and printers click "Mouse"
In the "mouse properties" window click on Device Settings
Highlight the touchpad and click the "settings" button below it
De-select "Enable Edge Swipes"
Hope this helps

Random wrong characters appear when typing in Firefox--why?

While typing in Firefox, random wrong characters appear (e.g. I type "i" and "n" appears). If I go back and retype it, the same wrong character may appear two or three times, then the correct character appears. This happens while using gmail, but also, for example, when entering search terms into Yahoo. It does not happen while using other browsers such as Chrome, and it does not happen using other applications.

the wrong type characters kept appearing--I
would type the letter i and a 5 would appear instead.
This would indicate you have activated the feature which turns the right side of the keyboard into a numerical keypad. It might be Fn-F6 that controls this -- sorry I don't have a notebook and am not sure exactly how this works.

How can I deactivate the FAX modem menu which appears when I try to print a web page?

I have a PC that is not connected to a telephone and I have never selected the FAX icon. Two weeks ago I was suddenly unable to print web pages because a menu concerning setting up a FAX modem appears when I push the Print command. On the Printers and Devices page the FAX icon is not selected. How can I deactivate the FAX menu?

You can use this extension to modify the menu.
*Menu Editor: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/menu-editor/
You can also achieve this with code in the userChrome.css file below the default @namespace line.

How can I make the links work when the site is published.

I am a new iWeb user and have built the website www.realmoroccotours.com and am having a few problems that I hope someone can help me with.
First - in Iweb everything works fine but when it is published the links in the top and bottom menu do not work. If I clic on the link before the page is fully loaded it odes work. My host gave me the following information but I have no idea what it means or how to fix it. I have rebuilt the whole site but still the same thing happens.
+> One of your javascript files that you have installed in the header of the main+
+> page is blocking the screen with transparent image preventing links from+
+> clicking. Please remove conflicting javascript and reload that page again.+
Secondly, the site loads very slowly - although not all the time. Any suggestions on how to make it faster loading would be appreciated.

All it means is that the image is blocking the navigation menu/overlapping - all you need to do is move it out of the way and the menu should work. Do a view all in iWeb and you can then see what is overlapping and what you need to move.
You could also build your own nav menu if you like so that your site will be found more easily - javascript, which the iWeb menu is, is not always found that easily. You don't need to re-build the whole site - just the nav menu.
If you want to speed up your site, then you could try using Web Crusher or iWeb Maestro to speed it up - you need to do this post publishing though, so publish to a local folder and then run it through either of these to get rid of the bloated code that iWeb creates and then upload your site.

Name Of Site Not Appearing When Viewing Site In Browser

When I view my completed or nearly completed pages from the
site I am building in IE or Firefox, the heading at the top of the
browser says 'Untitle Document'. How can I get the name of the site
to appear instead?
Thanks!

if you think this has nothing to do with what your question

better.
Well, JohnDoe.com isn't actually my site. I just used it as
an example. (My site is www.BigMusicGeek.com) I didn't realize that
the path always showed when previewing the page in a browser. I am
painfully new at this, so some basic ideas just escape me. Now that
I have the title of the site appearing correctly in the browser, I
can get back to finishing the design of my home page.
Thanks!

Wrong characters appear when typing on this discussion page

I was using safari on a power book (G4, processor 1.67 ghz, tiger 10.4.7) earlier today to try to download (unsuccessfully) some game demos, Myst IV and Myst V from macgames. Safari was terribly slow. It also crashed frequently and when I got on this discussion page to ask about this, as I was typing my concerns, the wrong type characters kept appearing--I would type the letter i and a 5 would appear instead. When I tried to use the delete button to erase the 5 the it wouldn't move.
I then got out of Safari and int word to see if I would get wrong characters in a document. The same thing happened. I kept getting a combination of letters and numbers in the document I was typing. I then shut down the power book and turned it back on without being online. I was able to type in word without getting the mixture of numbers and letters.
I guess I shouldn't use the power book to get on the internet. I know macs aren't supposed to get viruses, but could the problems safari is having be a virus or some other destructive thing? or perhaps my powerbook has a virus? I was planning to upgrade the imac's 10.1.5 to Panther and use safari as explorer doesn't work well with some websites and safari was reccommended. Perhaps I should stick with explorer 5.2
I have updated to 10.4.7. recently. Is there a safari update I need? I don't remember any of this happening before the update, however I rarely use the powerbook to get on the internet, so it could have been happening before the update to 10.4.7. Also since there is something wrong with safari, is there a different browser I could use with the power book? the imac has explorer 5.2. What about an anti virus program for the power book? Any suggestions or recommendations on how to deal with these problems would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Edith

Extra characters appearing when using VISA

Hi, I am new to labview and have a problem I've been working on for a few days. I am reading masses printed from a scale hooked up by a RS-232 to USB connection, with the ultimate goal of recording mass vs. time. Currently random letters appear in the mass at various times and cause the waveform chart to drop to zero, Looking at the signal using another program I am getting a constant mass reading. Searching the forums I have not been able to find a way around this problem. Any help would be . I attached my current program to the bottom to better explain my predicament.
Solved!

1. Use a proper Stop button.
2. Set the loop's termination condition to be Stop When True.
3. Do not use the Run Continuously. What you are doing here is constantly reinitializing the serial port, which is likely causing data to be missing and giving you your weird results.
4. Close you port after the loop.
5. There is no need at all for that property node. You can define what the termination character is with the Configure Serial Port.

How to add html? The HTML snippet does not work. Whatever I add, (a "like button, SEO key words, etc.), does not appear on the site once published.

I am trying to add html to my website created in iWeb, (a "like" button, for example). I paste the HTML language into the HTML Snippet window, but it does not show up ion my published page. Any advice?

I have put code into two html snippets, (per facebook instructions). Should they go together?
First snippet:
<div id="fb-root"></div>
<script>(function(d, s, id) {
var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];
if (d.getElementById(id)) return;
js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id;
js.src = "http://connect.facebook.net/en_US/all.js#xfbml=1";
fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs);
}(document, 'script', 'facebook-jssdk'));</script>
Second snippet:
<div class="fb-like" data-href="http://www.bonniecrockettconsulting.com" data-send="true" data-width="450" data-show-faces="false"></div>
Thanks!

Wow, a lot of lines ! No problem, i can identify problem when try generate a WSDL file ... it´s correct ? (Please correct me if i have a incorrect reasoning).
Can a JDK Version too ? I´m using a JDK 1.5.0_06. According by manual instructions version of JDK can be 1.4.2 or later version....
Help me ! :-)
Thanks for your attention !!

Roberto and all,
I installed Tomcat and published ODI web service and it was done sucessfully.
Why OC4J this simple activity doesn´t have any success ? I'm still curious what's difference between OC4J and Tomcat and why it does not allow this simple task when is completed in a such simple way... Oracle support analyst recommended that I use the OC4J but did not explain the reason, what are the advantages and benefits compared to Tomcat...
Sincerelly, i´m not too sure if i should go ahead with OC4J.
Thanks for your attention !
Best Regards,
João.
