Web Clips in Safari Dashboard?

Just wondering if people have luck trying to set up web clips for their Dashboard. I keep trying different sites and dont have much luck. The only answer I get from Apple is that it depends on how the website is set up. But something has to work
Im trying a few other sites and Ive got clips up right now (am waiting to see if theyll change in the next day as thats when it usually goes wrong) but IM noticing now that whenever I open dashboard, I end up getting all these Safari windows opening with urls of https://googleads.g.doubleclick.net...
and it seems its happening even if Im nowhere near the webclip but even over another widget or a pre-installed widget like a sticky.
I did a search on that URL and it said it was some kind of error or Google glitch related to google ads etc..but that url keeps opening over & over & over but it's just a blank page...so it seems like even if I can get these web clips to actually work and update - they wont be usable if every time I open the Dashboard, I have a half dozen blank windows open in Safari.
Just seems like its a no win
I also wonder how can you tell which websites actually are written in a way that if you put a webclip into the dashboard it would work. My lastest attempt at trying was using an editorial cartoon that I know changes every day or two
Thanxx

dont know..but it just stopped doing this.

Web clip problem after Safari 4

I get problems with Safari web clip as dashboard widget after switching to Safari 4. The widget window size changes and the update of its contents fails. Any fix?

I have the same issue. I have a Mac Pro w/ 2x2.8GHz Quad-Core Xeon 8GB Ram. So I don't think its a resource issue. I have a bunch of web clips on my dashboard. When I open the dashboard random ones will show only black. If I close and reopen those that were black might load and others will be all black. The issue didn't arise until I upgraded from Safari 3 to Safari 4. FYI- I tried recreating all of the webclips with Safari 4 just incase the issue was that they were originally created with Safari 3, but I still have the same problem. The clips are from all sorts of sites with a wide range of complexity. They all are affected at one point or another.
Any help would be appreciated, this is pretty annoying and begins to make me feel like I'm back on a PC.

Safari dashboard web clips not working

When I attempt to make a web clip (on ANY site or page), nothing happens. Literally nothing. Dashboard does not open, nothing is created and nothing is added to the Dashboard items.
This has been the case with the last couple versions of Safari. I don't even know were to begin trouble shooting this issue. I did try tossing the Safari and Dashboard pref files. No change. That's all I can think of doing... Is there anything else I can try?
Thanks!

HI,
Reset Safari. From the Menu Bar, click Safari/Reset Safari. Select the top 5 buttons and click Reset. Restart Safari and see if that helps.
If that doesn't help... Check Web Clip widgets
If you made Web Clip widgets, the webpage that it is the source of a clipping might be causing Safari to unexpectedly quit or Dashboard to no function as it should. Go into Dashboard and remove any web clip widgets. Then, if you can access the original website, re-create the widgets and see if the issue persists.

Cannot remove Safari web-clip widget from dashboard

I created a safari webclip with a very high aspect ratio (it was longer than the height of my screen) and added it to the dashboard. When I went to click the i to edit the settings, it rolled over and is now completely off my screen such that I cannot access it to close it or remove it.
How can I go about removing this dashboard web clip widget with it being off my screen (but still using memory)?

Interesting dilemma.
One thing to try:
In the dashboard, click on the little plus sign so you get access to the "manage widgets" button.
There you can disable the "web clip". Maybe that will make the errant clip go away. I think if you
subsequently re-enable "web clip" you will get that functionality back but without that messed up clip.

Safari Web Clips Don't Bloody Work!

*Safari Web Clips Don’t Bloody Work!*
The problem: I was able to capture a web clip, dashboard would open and it seemed fine, but when I came out of Dashboard and closed Safari, they web clips would disappear.
I attempted to access them by clicking Dashboard>Web Clips and this would bring up a window which says ‘Web Clip was made using Safari’s ‘Open in Dashboard Feature’, open Safari”.
The above is written in the past tense because the situation has deteriorated since.
*Fix Attempt:*
Moved /Library/Widgets/Web Clips.wdgt to trash.
Restored /Trash/Web Clips to /Library/Widgets/Web Clips.wdgt.
*Now Safari won’t even capture any clips at all!*
I can select a clip, but when I click 'Add', nothing, nada.
The endless list of problems with Leopard continues...
*Get all this for £85. Bargain!*
Mr LinguaFranca.

If you're using a custom style sheet in Safari (Safari>Preferences>Advanced), web clips may not work. You may not realize you're using a custom style sheet, but if you've used an application like Safari Enhancer in the past, then yes, you are using a custom style sheet.

Safari Web clip functionality

Is there a way to make an RSS feed with a web clip that is put into dashboard? I don't see an obvious way but this would be great if possible. The other question is if there is an open API for my own widget or APP to pull the webclip information.

Safari Dashboard Web Clip https

I'm hoping someone knows how to make an secure web site with a port (https://x.x.x.x:4444) for instance a web clip for the dashboard. I can easily create it but it of course doesn't work. It says it can't connect to the site. Obviously it requires a user name and password. I had already logged in and was viewing what I need when I created the clip. Is there a way to adjust the address that the clip uses and how does a web clip handle usernames and passwords? Is that something you have to pass in the URL?
Thanks,

I would like to do this as well.
I monitor an internal web site that displays network traffic and it would be very convenient to do this as a web clip on the desktop.
Can someone tell us where the details for the Dashboard web clip are kept? Perhaps there are some additional properties that can be added to it from the back end that would get it to work. (A port number, 'https', credentials, etc.) It would almost be silly if it couldn't be done!

How can I get back the Web Clip widget in Dashborad?

Dear all,
I accidentally deleted the Web Clip widget together with the Web Clip.wdg in Library/Widgets/ folder by AppCleaner some time ago. Now I cannot use this function to clip content in pages. I have the widget icon in Safari and can crop the webpage without problems, but after I did this action, nothing appeared or happened in the Dashboard since the original web clip widget file is gone.
I would like to know where and how I can get back the Web Clip.wdg file so that I can perform the Web Clip function again?
I just saw a user who posted a similar topic on Dec 28, 2008 and his/her problem is solved. I have this same problem like his/hers.
I would appreciate if anyone can help me, thanks!

Hi,
Thank you very much for your help.
I have tried to use Time Machine to get back the Web Clip but still couldn't, and very strange is when I click Time Machine, I can only choose Windows Applications as the back up disk but not Macintosh Applications, so I cannot restore anything from Macintosh applications.
I think the best is if anyone has this widget on their Mac and can kindly send it to me by e-mail?
I would appreciate it so much.

Browser preferences - web clip incompatible with pop-ups?

Hi,
I'm a newbie to iOS & Safari and I've haven't been able to work out the following:
I use a web-browser client app for work.
Since it is an app (with its own built-in navigation), I'd like to clear up space on my screen and use Safari in Full-Screen Mode.
I've therefore created what I believe is called a "Web Clip" (to add an icon with a direct link to the apps' login screen on my desktop/start screen).
When I double-click on this link, no Safari toolbar shows up (address box, navigation buttons, page tabs, etc.) so the interface is neat and has the feel of a standalone app.
However, a couple of functions stop working in this mode (they work fine in the "standard mode"):
I don't receive pop-ups (I'm able to launch reports against the server, which in turn is supposed to send back a PDF-file which should open in a new window or tab).
I can't use a click-on email-link to create a message (it's a simple mailto:x link).
I've searched all the configuration options I could think of but nothing solves this.
Can it be done?
If not, is there any way to "reduce" the space occupied by Safari's toolbar?
Thanks

I'm sorry Jim but I just wouldn't know where to start.
This is not a developer question, I'm just trying to configure the iPad appropriately.
Do you know if there is any configuration option on the iPad Air that "enables pop-ups" in Safari "full-screen mode"??

Web Clips Bug

We are using profile manager to manage ipads, we created a web clip app which is opening safari. Why the web clip app opens 2 safari windows at the same page?????????
D.

Ok, I found the mistake.
Before this happened I changed the image size in the script with Microsoft XML-Notepad. This broke something else in the gallerymaker.xml because the file size was 3 KB smaller than before. I found it today after hard thinking, where the bug can be.
For me it looks like, that lightroom ignores the complete web galleries folder, if there is only ONE script with a mistake in it. I had another template in it's own subfolder and it too wasn't visible after that.
DON'T USE Microsoft XLM-Notepad! I couldn't find out, what exactly it changed but it caused this strange bug.

Dashboard Web Clip Widgets - "Time for an Update"

I have an issue with a dashboard widget that I created from the Safari button "Open in Dashboard" to create.
I used the widget on the following page:

The problem is, the widget displays a giant overlay:
Needless to say, it makes this particular web clipping completely unusable...

I would like to do this as well.

How do you remove web clip from home page?

Hi,
Thanks as always.
I accidentally added a web clip of a web page to my home page, how do you remove it?
I thought I was making the page the default home page for safari, obviously not…
Thanks

Sorry about that - although your post is listed first, the time indicated when posted for each of our posts is identical.
If I could transfer the 10 points to you, I would.

Feature Request: Web Clips Home Page

I would love it if it were possible to create a Safari homepage out of several web clips. Rather than just putting web clips on the dashboard we should be able to create (possibly multiple) home pages built from clips. (cf. igoogle)

You could do this with any html editor since Widgets are just complicated Web pages.
Right click on any Widget and "Show Package Contents" to find all of the components that make up the html "page". Use the html authoring app to position the Widgets using "frames" or "i-frames" and save it as a "single" .html file.
You could also use Safari (Window menu / Merge All Windows) and then "bookmark" this new page.
Complicated but doable.
