Web page transitions are rocky

I have just published my new iWeb website on to .mac (at web.mac.com/cherisykes). I am noticing that the page transitions, going from page to page, are not smooth. I have to wait, so white space, etc. Can I correct this? Eventually, when construction is complete, I am going to forward this website to my GoDaddy domain name.

The main reason is your choice of the "Darkroom" theme. It uses an image to create the textured background and this increases the download time and is responsible for the "venetian blind" effect as the page loads in the browser.

Web Page transitions are not smooth

I just published my new website on web.mac.com/cherisykes and notice that the changes from page to page are not very smooth or prompt. Is there anything that can be done?

Web page transitions, adding music, aditional themes...

This is a question/suggestion. Because perhaps iWeb does have this capability and I don't know how to use it. OR, it does no have it and I am suggesting to Apple to build it.
1. Web page transitions: fancy transitions between the pages of a site add a special spice to the navigation of the site... are these available on iWeb08?
2. I know I can drag and drop an MP3 or music file to the page, however, my PC buddies that do not have Quicktime(R) installed on their computers (because they only have internet at work where they cannot install anything) cannot play music or even see the file. Is there a way to add music that automatically starts when a user opens the page? something that does not require then end user to have QT installed on their PC.
3. One of the things I love about iWeb is their templates/themes although I would like to know if apple has more themes available to download (hopefully for free since I already paid for the software) is there such a resource?
Thanks everyone for reading all three questions, I appreciate the fact that you are about to write an answer! Thanks!

iWeb does not provide every conceivable solution. You have to be creative too.

No. You need some sort of JavaScript to accomplish that. Search the internet or see how others do it.

Use other code. [Search for free Flash MP3 players|http://www.google.com/search?q=free%20flash%20MP3%20players]. Then embed the code with the HTML Snippet.

Apple has none. If they had they would advertise it. Create your own pages.

Why does Firefox no longer display .php suffix web pages which are in my Mac?

I have a question about Firefox 14.0.1 displaying .php suffix web page files which are in a Mac running Mountain Lion OS 10.8. In eaarlier versions of Mac OS, for example 10.4.7, I was able to see properly displayed web page files with .html and .php suffixes when those web page files were in my computer. I refer to seeing the page as it should properly display, not seeing the source code. If a page had a .php suffix, the browser displayed the page properly although any php scripts embedded in that page were ignored.
Apple occasionallly updated its OS and browser makers occasionally updated browsers. One day, I noticed that Safari no longer displayed web page files in my Mac if those pages had a .php suffix. However, Firefox and other browsers continued to display web page files with .php suffixes although the embedded php scripts were ignored.
Now, I have Mountain Lion in iMac.
I can no longer see .php suffix web page files in my computer regarless of the browser I use. No browser displays those pages.
A .php suffix web page file which Firefox and other browsers display in 10.4.7 does not display in 10.8 if that web page file is in the computer.
In my computer, I have html and php suffix web page files I want to see using a browser. The files I want to see and the browser both are in my computer. Html files display perfectly with one exception: if php scripts are embedded in the html files, the scripts are ignored. A file the name of which ends with ".php" will not be displayed regardless of whether there is a php script in the file. Safari displays the source code only. Chrome does not display the file at all. Firefox and SeaMonkey, which displayed .php suffix web page files in earlier versions of the Mac OSm now respond to such pages by providing a dialog box which seems to assume that the file is about to be downloaded from the Internet. The dialog box asks me if I want to use the browser to open the file or if I want to save it to disk. The file is on the disk at the time, and the computer is disconnected from the Internet. I click that I want to use the browser to open the file. Then the dialong box reopens with the same question. This happens over and over. I never get to see a web page file in my computer the name of which ends with ".php". With Firefox 14.0.1, I can see .php suffix web pages which are on the Internet or in a 10.4.7 Mac but not in a 10.8 Mac. Did I miconfigure Firefox? It seems unlikely that Firefox lost the ability to display pages in Mac OS 10.8 which it displays in `10.4.7. How can I solve this web page display problem?

Haroon mentions two solutions. I used the easier one, which is to start the Apache webserver already in Mountain Lion and to enable the php already in Mountain Lion. It worked. I see the file correctly displayed with html, css, and php. I see the page by using Firefox. I enter an address in the address bar. For example, the address might be "localhost/example/example.php". I cannot see the page by using Firefox's "Open File ..." menu option or by dragging the file's icon onto Firefox's icon. I tried using your solution also but was unable to find the specific preference to modify. I found the page of preferences which may be modified but I could not find the one I need. I found a list of descriptions of the preferences at http://kb.mozillazine.org/Firefox_:_FAQs_:_About:config_Entries
but I could not find the specific preference which I need.
By the way, to enable loading the php module, one uncomments a line of code by deleting the initial "#" character, and one does that by pressing control key and "P" key while the cursor is over the "#" character.
Also by the way, when I use Firefox or Safari to look at the Apache web directory in which my files are, the files are listed case sensitively. For example, the files are listed: Ace, Zygote, bar. This is because lower case follows upper case. THis annoys me. I prefer case insensitive listing. When I llok directly athe directory without using a browser, the files are listed case insensitively. For example, they are listed: Ace, bar, Zygote. I guess taht Apache is doing this.

I just republished the site, and it looks fine, energievollfit | über
could you please try to republish the site again, and let me know .

The web page states, "are you sure you want to navigate from this page" It then keeps on logging me off of web site

This issue can be caused by Facebook gadgets. 
You will have to check that out by removing each of them until you find the culprit. 
If you added or updated gadgets recently then start with those.

Best "Publish Settings" for wmv web page video are ??

What are the bset settings for publishing a WMV video for playback on a web page?
I used the custom setup and...
320 x 240
15 frames per second
Are these the right numberes for a good quality video on the net... without making the file to big?
Thanks for any suggestions.

Time for the proverbial spanner in the works.
If you are in NTSC lands, and your source footage is HD at 24fps, you could always try encoding to the 24p MPEG-2-DVD setting.
This will put the progressive scan footage on the DVD at 24p, without degrading it to interlaced - and on an upscaling player you will get output at 24p.
If the disc is played on a non upscaling system, the player will automatically pull to 29.97, so you lose nothing and gain a lot.
The Adobe Media Encoder does a fine job of the 24p for DVD encoding as well - just remember to render out as elementary streams (.m2v and .WAV) - do not use the Dolby Digital encoder at this point (unless you need the SurCode 5.1 of course) and use LPCM - let Encore handle this.

How to stop annoying ads on web pages you are reading?

Is there anything I can do to stop advertisements that totally
overwhelm my website that I am reading? They are so dominate
that I just have to leave the page. I want to read my news without
an ad that covers 3/4 of the page. Not only the news but other web pages as well.

Swf play speed and web page speed are Different

Any idea why the swf's visual speed is different when viewed
as a swf or viewed from a browser page?
Some factoids: I have Flash 8.0, Action script 2.0. I have
published the swf (and related html) locally. 15 fps. The flash
contains animation, and an event audio.
When I author and adjust the timing of the audio and the
animation in my flash file it is synchronized. Further, when I
preview the animation it is synched. Also it is synched if I view
the swf from the hard drive.
However, if I invoke the swf's html file, either online or
locally, the visual significantly lags the audio.
It is not a matter of swf size as the swf is .4 meg. It is
not a matter of computer resources as the computer I have is the
latest model nicely equipped Dell.

Hi OT,
well, it's not so strange the difference in size.
As I wrote before, it's iWeb that create a new background image for every page.
In the page menu>layout you can choose the background image. My original background image file is just 152Kb.
But in that menu I setted the file as "Tinted image fill" and "Tile".
So iWeb "tints" my original file with a color and change it from jpg to png and then, istead of just "tiling" the image to fill the length of each page, it tiles the tinted image to fill the length of each page and then create a file of that length. So it's not a real tiling, and the background_1 file become different for every page.
In an other web site I just chose a background image and tiled it. Well the bg. file created by iWeb is smaller than the original one and it's really just tiled, so the file is the same for every page, even the length of pages is different.
The problem is the "tinted image fill" setting. As I wrote and as you tested, if you use a graphics editing software, you can create by yourself the "tinted image file" and then use it as background in iWeb without the "tinted image fill" and "tile" setting on, but just "image fill" and "tile" setting on.
The files you dowloaded from my site are not the original one. The original bg file is white with the paper pattern and it's 640X480 152Kb jpg file. You cannot find it on the site, it's just in my hard disk.
So I have to tint the original white paper pattern file with the green I like by a software and then save it as a small jpg file. In iWeb just set this new file as bg "image fill" and "tile".

Why Doesn't Firefox 34.0.5 Render Any Web Pages - All Are Blank White

I am using Firefox on on W7-SP1 computer and three W8.1 computers
I upgraded to 34.0.5 from 33.1.1. None of the pages on any website render. All pages are just blank white. The Yoono sidebard works. Popup message from Firefox shows..
Steps I took to try and solve problem
1. Disabled all extensions - Did not solve problem
2. Did an uninstall and clean install - Did not solve problem
3. Turned off Web Protection in Bitdefender Internet Sececurity 2015 - Did no solve problem
4. Turned off Web Protection in Malwarebytes 2.03 - Did not work
5. Turned off Protection in Malwarebyes Anti-Exploit - Did not work
I am also using Malwarebytes

Hey,
I really hope I can help some of you poor ones who have that problem because I had it, too! Right after upgrading to Version 34.0.5, no webpages displayed any content but a blank. It annoyed me very much, especially since it's hard to get an earlier Firefox version and seemingly impossible to downgrade. What helped me in the end was:
Disabling one of my add-ons, namely "Privacy Defense".
I had to find out what caused the trouble. So I went to reset my Firefox to the original settings, thereby getting rid of all my add-ons. Webpages were working normally as before. I re-downloaded my old add-ons. Everything worked fine. Until I got to "privacy defense" which doesn't even require a restart of Firefox. When I had downloaded it, no webpages would look any other than blank! So I disabled it - and everything was back to normal. So:
Tools > add-ons > guilty add-on (for me Privacy Defense) > disable it.
It seems as though certain add-ons aren't compatible with this new Firefox version. So check them. (Also, my contrast settings, colours and fonts I had chosen weren't the problem.)
Really hope this helps someone.
Good luck!

Words sometimes overlap other things on the web page and are unreadable.

On sites like Huffington Post and NY times as well as Aetna my health carrier some words and graphics overlap each other so they are unreadable.

Reset the page zoom on pages that cause problems: View > Zoom > Reset (Ctrl+0 (zero); Cmd+0 on Mac) 
See:
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Zoom_text_of_web_pages
If you have increased the minimum font size then try the default setting 'none' as a high value can cause issues like you described.

Firefox will not open web pages that are called from the mail program that comes with Vista, anyone out there have a solution?

I have installed Firefox ver 4 on a Toshiba laptop running Vista. My problem is when using the mail client that comes with Vista any url in an email message will not load in the browser, a new tab is created and has the url from the mail message but that is as far as I get. There is no revolving icon on the new tab and clicking on reload does nothing. So far this is happening with every website I have tried. There is no error message of any kind. The websites are working sites and can be opened if I navigate to them manually

Web page transitions

I have a problem with the way my site changes pages. When I click on the header page name to go to the next page it goes white between my pages for about 1 to 2 seconds. I find this most annoying as I have a black page. It works perfectly in iWeb but not after posting. I have seen other sites work well.
I have posted to my own domain name. I used iWeb 08.
My site is www.freedominternational.ca
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Doug

It's not a problem, it's the way it works.
You use URL Masquerading or cloaking.
This means that first the page with the frames is loaded, and then your dotmac page.
That takes some time, depending on the browser, linkspeed and more.
Solution: don't use maskerading but +url forwarding+. You can change the settings where you registered your domain.

After the 5.0 upgrade, why is it every time I start Firefox I get the welcome to 5.0 web page you are up to date? Plus My home page opens at the same time.. Its annoying.I can not stop it.

I turned off auto upgrades I defaulted my home page I made a blank home page I cannot get rid of the double page on the initial start up of the browser.
