Web Editor to 'compliment' iWeb

What would you recommend as an editor (HTML and basic graphic/layout) to compliment iWeb. A few years back I used a program called NVu which was at just the right level for a noob like me (DreamWeaver is sooo complicated!) - is there anything better around now? (Hopefully free!)

Yes - I have had a look at Freeway, looks nice, but I can't make it open html pages from iWeb. DreamWeaver does, but they look kinda weird (wrong fonts etc etc). An old program (NVu) I have hanging around does quite a good job, but the one page I want to edit - the front page of a blog site from iWeb - has the key text (the list of entries, which is the bit I want to edit) missing and in it's place the words 'blog summary widget'.
Actually all I want to do at this stage is make some of the text in this summary list into links to files - is there an easier way?

GUI iPhone web app builder like iWeb

Does anyone know if someone has built a GUI iPhone web app builder?
I am very interested in building an iPhone site in conjunction with the development of my new site http://www.thecutsquad.com , my main interest in this is so that there is an optimized site for the iphone without having to load all of the rich media which I will be hosting.
So if I could build an iPhone specific website like http://app.getleaflets.com/ where I can host content media optimized for iPhone viewing over EDGE and people who are browsing using the iSafari (is that what we are calling it these days?) are redirected automatically without having to type in a specific web address, although I do not mind having a sub-domain which hosts this.
So, anyone know of anything, or is anyone interested in helping with the development of such an application?
Also, what would I need, if no application exist like this, to start coding web 2.0 and Ajax? I am new to all of this web development stuff, but I learn extremely quick when I am pointed in the right direction.
Thanks a ton,
Gabe

a web building application that is similar to iWeb, except that it builds web 2.0 pages.
I'm not sure that phrase has much concrete meaning. For the iPhone you often essentially try create the "javascript in a web page" equivalent of a desktop app. You get the javascript from libraries or compose it yourself with a text editor, and integrate it into the html created by any web editor.
Here is an example I happen to be familiar with, a virtual keyboard for other languages, where you can examine the source (to get everything, download as a webarchive and folderize it).

Switching web editors

I've read before that one can't import a muse created website into another web editor, but I thought it was possible to import websites into other editors such as Dreamweaver? My concern is that in case Muse is discontinued or I wish to use a different editor those websites I've created in Muse will basically have to be remade all over to stay updated.
The whole subscription model is only exacerbating this situation since I could otherwise keep a bought version of the relevant editor on the computer to edit any old sites, but with Muse I have to rent everytime I would need to edit something created in Muse, even though I may not have any actual use for Muse any longer (if, say, I'm using Dreamweaver instead).
It seems very unfriendly to not only be locked to an editor for any site designed with that but also having to rent it only to make updates to those sites instead of being able to simply buy it and have an old version on the computer that would be plenty good for simple content additions.
So my question is whether I've misunderstood something or if there are plans to make it possible to import a Muse designed site into other editors like Dreamweaver.

but I thought it was possible to import websites into other editors such as Dreamweaver?
This depends ENTIRELY upon your skill set in Dreamweaver and deciphering code. There have been several very experienced web designers and coders who have explained to the lesser code knowledgeable here that the code Muse produces is VERY complex and heavy to go through. It's not coder/editor friendly ( loads of extra code to wade through ) and would take a lot of time and patience to go through it all and slim it down in a programme like Dreamweaver. Quite frankly, if you HAVE those type of skills, you most likely wouldn't be using Muse in the first place.
Muse is like a High-End Hobbiest ---> Pro-sumer product. Dreamweaver is meant and marketed for professionals in the web industry. Muse is designed to be easy and elegant to use for people with a low to mid level skill set, but to keep this possible, it's a bit of 'closed system' .
My concern is that in case Muse is discontinued or I wish to use a different editor those websites I've created in Muse will basically have to be remade all over to stay updated
Believe me, that Muse being discontinued is MY main concern as well. At this point, I have taken a bit of the plunge and 'gone for it' with a bit of trust and hoping for the best in regards to it's longivity. I do think that since iWeb was eliminated, that Muse has an excellent chance on the market with those who started using iWeb, got a bit confident and want to bring it up a notch. Or, they are professional desingers like myself who were trained in Dreamweaver, but usually do print design and lost their web-skills. So, I use Muse for my companies websites ( I am an In-House designer ) that are realatively easy sites focusing more on basic information and aesthetics then any interactivity or CMS systems. However, becuase they are not THAT complex, if I can to loose them and start all over again with another WYSIWYG editor, I could do so.
If you need more then what's Muse's 'golden cage' has to offer, it might better to take the step up to Dreamweaver and bypass this programme.
So my question is whether I've misunderstood something or if there are plans to make it possible to import a Muse designed site into other editors like Dreamweaver.
As far as has been made publically aware; no, there are no plans to make a Muse originated site easier to edit in Dreamweaver. Muse is a bit of a closed system and I believe it has been designed this wayintentionally too. To make things easy, it has limited functions, to which the Muse team have promised will be added to over time. However, it's been designed to be used as a closed system without too much in the way of 3rd party manipulation.. You design your sites in Muse, you edit them in Muse, it spits out some HTML and some CSS and you go from there. It's not meant to then go into another more complex editor like Dreamweaver. Remember, many of it's intended market wouldn't have an expensive piece of software like Dreamweaver in the first place.
So, bascially no, there is nothing STOPPING you from importing your Muse designed site into Dreamweaver, apart from your skill set and patience. However, if you do so - keep in mind that whatever you do change to the site in Dreamweaver is only good for that one upload only. You can not then take that Dreamweaver "edit" or manipulation of the site and get it BACK into Muse. It won't work. You would have to make those changes again everytime updated the site as you can't take exisiting sites/code/HTML/CSS and reinsert them into Muse.
The whole subscription model is only exacerbating this situation since I could otherwise keep a bought version of the relevant editor on the computer to edit any old sites,
And THAT is the crux of the problem / controversy with Muse. You are effectively ransomed unless something at Adobe changes.

Link to iTunes music store from a web page created in iWeb

Is there a way to create a link to the iTunes music store from a web page made in iWeb. I'd like to make a list of songs, and link each one to the song on the music store.
G5 Dual 2.7 GHz Mac OS X (10.4.7)

James, am I right in assuming, then, that one has to
have purchased that iTune from the iTunes Store? So,
logically then, if I have song that I copied from a
CD in my iTunes, iWeb would not link to it?
Sure, you can link your own music .mp3 files this way...but it doesn't go directly to your music library. What you would do is to have a copy of your music file saved to the desktop. Then make a link to file (one of the options in the Inspector Hyperlink tab) to this music file. When you publish your page, a copy of the music file will be uploaded to your site as well...so that people clicking on the link that you made can download the file.
You can also drag in your music file to iWeb and use QT to play the music file on your webpage.

Is there an alternate Web program to replace iWeb?

Is there an alternate Web program to replace iWeb since it is no longer being supported by Apple?. I have a very large program that took over 5 months to design and publish. If I have to give up iWeb, I need to import all the info into a new web program, without losing the theme, photos, imovies, etc. Will we eventually lose the iWeb program when upgrading from 10.6.8 to newer up to date OS systems?

. I'll have to totally rebuild my website in another program in order to upgrade my OS above 10.7
Didn't you read Wyodor's response to your first post?
If you browse this forum you'll find that iWeb 08 probably will not work with Mountain Lion, but iWeb 09 will.
iWeb 09 is also iWeb 3.04. which is also included in iLife 09.

Looking for online web editor to test ColdFusion tags

Is there any place that I can test basic ColdFusion tags online? I don't want to install coldfusion, while I want to test and learn some basics.
I found a web editor at the following link. However, it doesn't provide adequate instructions to use it.
http://www.riaxe.com/blog/coldfusion/coldfusion-9-web-editor/
I tried to save the codes as 'test.html' or 'cfmleditor.cfm', then open it with IE or Chrome. None of them worked. Get the following error:
This webpage is not found
No webpage was found for the web address:file:///C:/Test/%3Ccfoutput%3E#frameSrc#</cfoutput>
Error 6 (net::ERR_FILE_NOT_FOUND): The file or directory could not be found.
Any advice? Thank you.

And how *would* you expect a ColdFusion page to display from your computer when you don't have ColdFusion installed? Seeing as you can get a completely free developer edition, what's the reason you don't want to just install it? It would make your life much easier.

Why does my web page, created on iWeb, look correct on Safari but has thick black lines all over it in Firefox?

Why does my web page, created on iWeb, look correct on Safari but has thick black lines all over it in Firefox?

What's the URL of your site so we can examine it first hand? I assume those black lines are around photos or objects that have had a frame or drop shadow added to it, right? If so that's a known issue.
There's a workaround for that in this tutorial: #7 - Converting Photos w/Frames, Drop Shadows and/or Reflections into a Single Image File. That should get rid of those black lines/boxes.

What is the best wysiwyg web editor APP

I am looking to build my first website and it was suggested to me that I use a wysiwyg web editor. What is the best wysiwyg web editor App available for a beginner at web design? Or does anyone have a better suggestion?

SQL stands for Structured Query Language and has nothing to do with a specific DBMS as MS Access also supports SQL as well. If you are looking to move away from Access, then any of the major DBMS will work - Sybase, Oracle, MS SQL Server, MySQL, etc - with ASP.
As Pegaprint points out. MS Access can be used as a front end to any ODBC database. I work with large enterprise databases and have many front end tools available, but still use MS Access often to design queries because it's simple and works great. In any event, your first task is probably to get a good understanding of SQL as that will be crucial.

Can you use a different web page generator with iweb?

I have created website in Sandvox & want to know if there is a way to import the htm files into iweb so I can publish the website with .Mac

To force Sandvox to publish to the iWeb folder instead of HomePage without the need of a domain do as follows.
Read the instructions in [this page|http://docs.karelia.com/z/Personal.MacDomains.html].
You do not need a domain!!! Think of a non-existent fake domain.
Just follow the steps.
Sandvox will tell you that there is no domain.
Quit Sandvox and open the plist in the Propertlist Editor (part of Xcode).
~/Library/Preference/com.karelia.Sandvox.plist
Delete the line with the fake domain and save the file.
Start Sandvox.
Republish the lot. Sandvox will now publish to a folder in
~/iDisk/Web/Sites/
No garantees.

Web gallery use vs iWeb photo page

I really like the quick layout of the gallery. Would I be saving more iDisk space by using the Aperture Web gallery vs iWeb photo pages?? My guess is yes because I can control the size in page/detail and more when I save to my .mac. The only feature I would lose is the flow of navigation with the other iWeb pages.
My thought was to create a main photo page with iWeb and have a small snapshot to hyperlink to the homepage.mac gallery created with Aperture. This allows flexibility in adding/removing the galleries if space becomes an issue. I dont have much in iWeb so far and it takes a really long time to load as it is. I'd hate to bog down more with photo galleries.

hello, me100finn
quote: "The only feature I would lose is the flow of navigation with the other iWeb pages."
You can always manually make a link to the other web pages which is what I do.
Just a few more added features to Aperture Web Gallery and Web Journal like an advance option feature to view & change the CSS or source code (without going to GoLive or Dreamweaver) or something along the lines of "would you like to add a link to another url?" would be tasty.
quote: "My thought was to create a main photo page with iWeb and have a small snapshot to hyperlink to the homepage.mac gallery created with Aperture."
Yup, my thoughts too. Maybe version 2 (i hope). I'm making the site first in Aperture (the heavy lifting) and then making minor additions and tweaks in GoLive.
To do this add the image, select it after the export in a wysiwyg html editor and point it to the proper linked url.

I can't find my web-site in my iweb

I created a web-site in 2008 and want to revise it. When I open iWeb, it is not there. WHen I type in the www. address, it's there. How do I get it back and work with it?

In Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
For opening your domain file in Lion for the first time or to switch between multiple domain files Cyclosaurus has provided us with the following script that you can make into an Applescript application with Script Editor. Open Script Editor, copy and paste the script below into Script Editor's window and save as an application.
Just launch the applicaiton, find and select the domain file you want to open and it will open with iWeb. It modifies the iWeb preference file each time it's launched so one can switch between domain files.
do shell script "/usr/bin/defaults write com.apple.iWeb iWebDefaultsDocumentPath -boolean no"delay 1
tell application "iWeb" to activate
Or you can download an already compiiled version with this link: iWeb Switch Domain.

Need a Mac web editor

I have been using Claris Home Page for ages. Its fast, easy to use, powerful, reliable, and unfortunately DATED with no updates. Since my website is a information site I can get away with using this client for basic editing, and Word 2004 as my composer. However there are times when I wish I had the best of both worlds and a more modern editor, as Home Page (although very reliable) has a number of limitations, as the web has changed a bit since 1997.
I have tried many free/shareware Mac clients and none have been ideal. Some even have far fewer features than Home Page. What I need is the following. Remember that I am looking for a CLIENT and not a web based editing solution.
1. Powerful-- Home Page has a nice toolbar and loads of features, including a built in FTP client. How many clients these days offer that? With Home Page I just edit a file, and click on a icon to upload the file, that's it! As I am running Home Page in Classic under Mac OSX Tiger 10.4.11, this still works.
2. Easy to Use-- Forget BBEDIT. I am not a HTML programmer or a programmer by any means. Front Page 3.x for Windows seemed nice, but it only works for Windows, and my Mac is PPC based so I cant boot into Windows.
3. Backward Compatible--iWeb seemed to fit the bill and I gave it a trial run. Unfortunately the version that I tried (about a year ago) was unable to edit or open my Home Page 3.x files, and so I could not use iWeb.
4. Reliable-- I do not want a client that crashes. Home Page almolst never crashes and is very fast and reliable.
5. Cheap--Home Page cost under $100 in its day, and that is about how much I am looking to spend.
These are the basics. Please when you recommend a client, please dont forget to read what I am looking for, before you make a recommendation. Thanks..

iweb can only edit it's own files...if you publish them to a folder that is it...those files can't be reimported into iweb..so the same would be said of any file that made with any kind of editor can't be imported into iweb. it is a handy little program though, you may want to take a look at it again.
I came over to a Mac from Windows in March of this year. I was using a web editing program (WYSIWYG) which I loved....I know a little bit of the html but am not proficient with it and the program did what I wanted it to do. I was comfortable with it...
Anyhow, coming over to the Mac, I haven't been able to find anything similar to it...tried Freeway, Sandvox, Raphidweaver, etc. I don't want an editor (like BBedit) as I honestly like to SEE what I making...I can't visualize code. The only thing that I found that was close to it, is Kompozer. It is a free program. They just updated it and it seems to work much better. You may want to take a look at it and see it that would work for you.
I never used Claris Homepage so I honestly don't know what that one is like.
I think you will never really find the idea program and may have to adjust your expectations.
