Viewing iWeb pages with browsers

I know iWeb is WYSIWYG but I miss the facility I had in PageMill to quickly switch to view the page I'm working on in browsers. Is there any way to do this with iWeb? I currently upload my site before viewing it in Explorer or Firefox and I'm sure there must be an easier way. I just can't see what it is…!
Thanks in advance for your help

Doesn't that seem like a really ,really bad idea as a
basis for designing an application used to create web
pages?
Personally I find it novel and ingenious. If you want the usual kind of program there are lots to choose from, and there's hardly a need for another one like them.
Would if it were at least possible after a site has
been published into a local folder that visting the
site took you the the page you were viewing to start
with.
iWeb doesn't visit published sites itself. How is your browser supposed to know what page you were viewing inside iWeb? Maybe there's way to do that.
How about if you publish a site it doesn't have to
load every single page on the site every time you do
it, but rather just updated the changes? Nobody's
going to be able to make a site with any complexity
like this.
Sounds like a likely future improvement. If you use .Mac, only changed pages (in red) are uploaded, unless you add pages and thus change the navigation header so all pages need revision. If you don't use .Mac, there are ways to use ftp programs to upload only changed items.
I'm not a web designer or anything like that, but
building a site of more than a dozen pages and
linking them is going to be painful to do with this
thing.
I don't think it is intended to fill every need. People who need more complex stuff should use something else.

  • Unable to view web pages with browsers

    I have currently moved to another city due to the hurricane. I am hooked up to the internet through a interoffice network. I can see the "pages" of my internet explorer off of my "pc" - however, I can not see the "pages" of my browsers (safari and explorer) on my mac. Totally confused - never happened before. Please help.
    My website is "down" due to the storm also - no email at this time throuch .Mac.

    Hi, Warren, welcome to Apple's user-to-user discussion forums.
    When you say you can see "pages" on Internet Explorer, does that mean you can access the Internet from Internet Explorer? Is this how you are accessing these discussion forums? If by "pages" you do not mean web pages on the Internet, what do you mean?
    Is your Mac properly connected to the network so that it has access to the Internet. Can you send and receive mail, for example?
    You can access your .Mac account from any Internet connection. just go to Mac.com and log in as usual. Once you have logged into .Mac, you can use Web mail to read or send email. You can also set up your Mail program to automatically download and send email using your .Mac account.
    I am sorry to hear about your relocation from the storm. I hope you and those you are concerned about are ok.

  • 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.

  • No scrolling when viewing man pages with Gnome terminal?

    Hi all,
    I have just installed Oracle Solaris 11 on x86. For a long time I've used Solaris 9 on SPARC. I like the new OS, but I'm having a problem viewing man pages with Gnome terminal. When I view a long man page, e.g., "man newfs", I don't get a functional scroll bar on the right hand side of the window. And although the space bar works to advance the page, when I reach the end, it doesn't return to the command prompt. It just beeps, prints "END", and I can only exit by closing the window. Can anyone tell me how to fix this? Suggestions would be much appreciated.
    Many thanks,
    Chris Tidy

    It does sound like you're using "less" instead of more. When you see the "(END)" prompt you can simply type "q" and it will exit back to the command line prompt making it unnecessary to close the window. See the "less" manual page for more detail on the less command. Under Solaris 9 the paging was done with the "more" command. If you set the PAGER environment variiable to "more" the man page will use more and revert to the behavior you'd be used to with Solaris 9. Less erases the text you've already read when you type that final "q" which is a behavior I don't like. I didn't bother to determine if there is a way to fix that with less, I just went back to more. The choice between "more" and "less" is a personal preference.

  • In MVC, do i need a View or Page with flow logic for POPUP window

    Hi All,
    I have the below scenario using the MVC pattern.
    I have a main view with 3 trays, each tray has two buttons, for example first tray has Create Order button. When I click on this button, I need a popup window to come with a tableview and a button(Create), where I select some rows and click on the button Create  to create order.
    But as per the MVC pattern I canu2019t call the view (popup) from another view(main view).  So should I create a VIEW or PAGE WITH FLOW LOGIC for the popup? .
    I need 6 popup to be called from the main view and once the function is done close the popup.
    Please suggest me the flow for this scenario.
    Cheers,
    Srini.

    Srini,
    1. You can call the view in pop-up because you will be calling the controller using open.window.
    Here is the sample code:
    method DO_REQUEST .
      data:
            li_vw           type ref to   if_bsp_page,
            lv_form_field   type          string,
            li_md           type ref to   zcl_model01.
      dispatch_input( ).
      li_md ?= get_model( 'm01' ).
      lv_form_field = request->get_form_field( 'invoice_create' ).
      if lv_form_field is initial.
    *------ Request to display main page
        li_vw = create_view( view_name = 'main.htm' ).
        li_vw->set_attribute( name = 'model' value = li_md ).
        call_view( li_vw ).
      elseif lv_form_field eq 'true'.
    *------ Request to display Invoice page in pop-up
        li_vw = create_view( view_name = 'invoice.htm' ).
        li_vw->set_attribute( name = 'model' value = li_md ).
        call_view( li_vw ).
      endif.
    endmethod.
    Layout:
          function do_Invoice()
          { var s=0; r=1; w=300; h=300; x=screen.width/2;
            x=x-w/2;
            var y=screen.height/4;
            y=y-h/2;
            popUp=window.open('main.do?invoice_create=true','win','width='+ w
            +',height='+ h +', left=' + x +',top='+ y +');
    Option2:
    Ofcourse you can't bind the model in page becos those are 2 different things. But all you need to do is access the model to get some value. To know how to access the model from Page w/flow logic look at [this link|Passing model reference to a page in a Popup].

  • If I am viewing a page with the words date or match, the words are hyperlinks to a dating website. This is not so if I view the same pages in IE and has not been picked up by Norton, Spybot or malware bytes etc. Is this a Firefox bug?

    Never heard of that one. Most people upload iweb pages with a standard ftp client or a web editor which has an ftp app built in.

  • Problem viewing iWeb pages on PC

    Hi, this may have been addressed already, but I didn't see it anywhere. I believe I have v1.1. I have a couple of issues. One, the fonts that are "loaded" to the template, don't even show up correctly on safari or any other browser I have. So I had to go with very generic fonts.
    The main thing, though, is once I get the site published, it looks fine on my mac. But when I try to access the site on a PC, the text and pictures sit on top of each other, so you can't read anything on the blog.
    Anyone know how to fix this??
    G5   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

    I'm having similar problems... Everything looks fine on the mac but PC's can't view the page correctly... now I am attempting to post videos and my question is, does iWeb require quicktime to view video files even if they are avi, or wmv? Because on the PC's I have tested windows media player does not attempt to view.. it just wants me to download quicktime.

  • Iweb page with social media links - HOW??

    I saw a page with a .me address so i think it is a IWB page that was only one page. A picture background and icons on the left for social media sites. When you click on the the information would show up on the right side of the page. How is that done in Iweb??

    Web.me.com is not the .me TLD. It's the .com TLD.
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.me
    And web.me.com does not automatically means iWeb.
    Look at the source.. Do you see :
    <meta name="Generator" content="iWeb 3.0.2" />

  • Will iWeb page with total of 28 MB video (4 videos, 7 MB each) load okay?

    My general question is, what is the maximum file size of video for iWeb page that will load relatively quickly? My specific question is: on one page, I plan to have 4 separate videos of approx. 7 MB each.
    Will this page load at an adequate speed? Thank you!

    What do you consider OK? There are a lot of users out there with very slow internet connections which might give up before the videos loaded.
    There is a way to have multiple videos on a page and not have them load until the play button of them is selected. This demo page shows how: Opening Item in a New, Precisely Sized Window. This demo page has 9 videos added that way: PhotoPresenter Animated Slideshow Themes.

  • New computer, how can I sync my old published iWeb page with new compuer?

    I had my old macbook stolen a year ago in Italy. I created and published an iWeb page to .mac on that computer. My problem is that I cannot figure out how I can sync my old page on .mac to my new computer so that I can continue to use it and upload pics. Any suggestions? Thanks!

    Hello,
    and welcome the Apple iWeb Discussion Forum.
    Basically you can't figure it out because there is no way to get published pages back into iWeb. iWeb lacks of any html import feature. The only thing you can do is rebuild it by copying and pasting content from the published one to the rebuilt in iWeb. However for photopages that isn't a good idea, it's better to rebuild them from scratch (iPhoto).
    Be sure to make a backup of the domain.sites2 file (where iWeb stores) its files from time to time

  • Publishing in iWeb page With MONTH view being the default view

    Hi
    I'm using iWeb to publish a page, then editing the HTML code to include a non-scrolling frame that is my iCal calendar on it. It works ok EXCEPT that it defaults to a Week View on the web page, and that looks lame because for our purposes it should really default to a MONTH view.
    Does anyone know how to make this happen????
    I'm stumped!!!
    Unfortunately, I reached my bandwidth limit for this period (first time it's ever happened!) so I can't "show" you the page I'm talking about -- it's shut down until 3/16/07. Sure hope an iCal expert knows how to do this... ???
    Thank you!!!
    iMac   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    After not receiving any replies for a couple days, I took a chance and emailed James Tseng (someone who I saw has been very active and helpful on the boards in the past) directly at [jwtseng at rocketmail dot com] ...and he totally answered this question, and also said "Feel free to post the resolution to your issue on the forums so that others might benefit. You are also
    free to refer anyone else to contact me directly." So here it is -->
    Thank you for your email. You are always most welcome
    to contact me directly since my participation in the
    forums is not welcome anymore. I think I see what you
    are talking about.
    I published a calendar to use as an example... The
    default URL that iCal gives is here...
    http://ical.mac.com/jwtseng/Home
    And just as you mentioned, this resolves to a weekly
    view by default at this URL...
    http://ical.mac.com/WebObjects/iCal.woa/wa/default?u=jwtseng&n=Home.ics
    But if you click on the "Month" tab to switch views,
    the URL becomes this...
    http://ical.mac.com/WebObjects/iCal.woa/wa/default?d=1&u=jwtseng&v=1&y=2007&m=2& n=Home.ics
    So that's the secret, then. To get your calendar to
    display with the month-view by default, just use this
    fully-resolved URL as the src URL in your iframe
    function instead of the short URL. That should work
    perfectly for you.
    Let me know how it goes...

  • 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.

  • Publishing iweb pages with other domain host?

    Hi...
    Can anyone tell me if it's possible to host the page I created in iweb with another domain host?
    Thanks

    Under the File menu in iWeb there is a option called "Publish to Folder"
    That folder will contain all the HTML files, etc necessary to create your webpage.
    You will then upload (FTP) the contents of that folder to your host.
    There are several FTP programs available including Yummy, CyberDuck, etc... are you familiar with FTP'ing?
