Website created with iWeb looks different in IE and Firefox than Safari-why

So I spent a few hours working on my Home and About Us page. Then, while browsing this forum, I started seeing posts about how sites done with iWeb might not look good in IE and/or Firefox. I decided to test out my work. I zipped up my site files and emailed them to myself. I went to my Dell desktop and downloaded the files to that computer. I opened up the home page in Firefox first. The site seemed to look ok, and both the home and about us page links showed up and were functional (i.e. I was able to browse back and forth between the two pages). However, I had some bullet points on the about us page that had a green border around them. This rendered fine in Safari on my Mac, but in Firefox, the bottom line of the box was not connected! Why?
After viewing in IE, I was depressed. The site didn't look at all like it should have. Not only that, but I couldn't navigate between the pages, since the links for home and about us were not at the top. What can I do to make sure that a site I create with iWeb looks good in Safari, IE, and Mozilla Firefox?
-A stumped newbie

Well I see that you and I share the same problem, I posted the same type of question and am anxiosly awaiting replies on this topic, as it is very important
I own a small business, and every hour a customer cannot view my site is a customer lost to incompatibility issues.
I hope someone can help answer these issues.

My website created with Iweb and hosted on mobileMe is not showing well on all computers. What could be the problem ?

My website created with Iweb and hosted on mobileMe is not uploading well on all computers. What could be the problem ?

I got a chance to look at it on a PC. Totally hosed up. It loads incorrectly then parts of it go blank.
I have a site that is based very much on one of the built-in templates and it works fine on the same PC. It contains only text boxes, image placeholders, and images with "picture frame" borders. Nothing fancy, no overlays, no extra code or anything. I haven't looked much at the other templates so I don't know if yours is mostly a template or how much you may have modified one or what tricks you may have done to get the look you wanted. Whatever it is, IE does not like it. Unfortunately, you can't really ignore them as was suggested; they make up a large part of your audience.

How I do to open a website created with iWeb in other computer

Hi,
My web site was created with iWeb last year in other computer, a dead MacBook. I have a copy of my web files created with iWeb, and moved to my new computer, iMac.
Now I want to edit my web using iWeb, but I can´t find the way to open the files to modify and actualize my web, etc...
Does anyone know how to do this? can iWeb open and edit a web site created by itself?
Help will be appreciated,
Felix.-

Felix ~ No, only iWeb's Domain file can be opened in iWeb. See this Apple doc on How to back up MobileMe data. It says:
“Any websites you have published with iWeb should still be available within iWeb. iWeb stores everything in a Domain file, normally located in the ~/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder (although it can be moved). If you no longer have this file, you can view your currently published pages and manually recreate them within iWeb, but *there is no way to import published pages back into iWeb*. You can manually back up the Domain file, or use Backup to back it up.”
If you don't have a backup of your Domain file (e.g. via Time Machine), paragraph 2.3 of this FAQ page gives some tips on how to use published files, graphics, photos, etc., to help rebuild the site from scratch:

Issues with a website created with Iweb

I'm hoping someone out there can help...
The site appears okay when viewed on a computer screen but...
The main problem that I'm having at the moment is with printing site content. When opened in Firefox, only the first page of content will show up in print preview, and print out. When opened in IE, all of the content pages show up in print preview but many of them are blank and print blank. Usually, the first page is okay, with the exception of the home page itself, where only the top menu shows up. In Safari, everything seems to be okay except for page breaks which sometimes go right through text or a picture.
Another problem I have is that the website pictures don't look too good when printed out. The colors are off a bit and the quality is not quite there. I've tested it on a few good printers. I had better appearance when I did this website previously with a cheap web editor.
Any good suggestions on why this is happening and what I can do to fix this?

If you have a page or pages that require to be printed out it is more sensible to offer this as a PDF download. That way you can make the layout of the PDF to suit a printed page.

How to access my website created with iWeb after hard drive replacement

I recently had my hardrive fail and it was replace with a new one. It just happened to be the only computer I used to create and update my website. I lost some photos that are on my website, but there are 1 or 2 photo pages that I can't download them back to my computer from. Is there another way to get them from the .mac server to my computer? I hesitate to create a new iWebsite for fear of losing the one that has the photos I want. Thanks

You should be able to access any of the files on the Idisk.
You will need to construct a new site and in the future you should backup the "domain" file located in your user library/application support/iweb.
If you had that file you would not have lost anything.

Using my existing domain name to refer to a .Mac website created with iWeb

How do I have my domain name connect to my .Mac website address, without using a slow redirect?

The place where you got your domain name should be able to tell you how to forward to your web.mac.com url. Nothing to do with Apple or iWeb really.

Page looks different in IE and Firefox

I am creating web pages in Dreamweaver, with tables and
images,.but when preview, one page looks totally normal in IE, but
messed up in Firefox, another page looks nomal in firefox, but
messed up in IE. I checked all the assets in dreamweaver, they are
all right.
Could you please advise me how to change or where to change?
Thank you so much!
Esther

Go to that location, and paste your page's code into the
direct input tab.
Or give it a URL where it can find your page to validate it.

The point that we are trying hard to make, is that there is
no easy button.
The largest (by far) reason that a page would not look the
same in all
browsers would be the use of invalid HTML. That's why I
steered you to the
validator.
> I can send you some screenshot of the pages
A screenshot is of no use at all. Sorry. The answer is in the
code.
> I do not have link address for those pages yet.....
Without seeing your code, nobody can give you substantive
help.

How many website can I create with iWeb?

How many different webpages can I create with iWeb? I just created a site to show friends a slide show from a recent trip, but I need to create another webpage that will have video on it. It would be a totally different subject matter. I do have a .MAC account and not sure if I need to do anything with that so I can have more webpages.
I guess what I am saying is that I am going to need different URL's for the webpages I am going to need to create and want to know how many you can have or create using iWeb.

You can have multiple websites, each with multiple pages depending on the need. To make managing multiple sites easier, take a look at iWebSites. The limiting factor, as was pointed out, is the available space on your iDisk. I use iWebSites to manage multiple sites.. It lets me create multiple sites and multiple domain files.
If you have multiple sites in one domain file here's the workflow I used to split them into individual site files with iWebSites. Be sure to make a backup copy of your Domain.sites files before starting the splitting process.
This lets me edit several sites and only republish the one I want.

Incorporating an album created with iweb into a website created with Dreamw

Hi, is it possible to create photo albums with iweb (I know, the answer to that is YES) and then incorporate them into my website created with Dreamweaver? If so, can anyone explain to me how to do this? I cannot find, on the 'puter, where the albums are stored! Sorry, I am NOT a computer expert:( Thanks in advance.

Thank you Wyodor :)) I now understand! Publishing to a folder on my computer and then using it in DW. I have tried that but iweb got "stuck" during the transfert, so I'll try again. I am NOT computer orientated but, strange as it may sound, I find it much easier to use DW than iweb!!!
On my pc I was fine using DW and Photoshop but since migrating to Mac I had problems creating my picture galleries - photoshop would only let me use 25 characters in my file names! (when creating the picture gallery). I am NOT good at explaining things but if you care to look at my site you will see what I mean (under cards - Drool cards 2009/10, for example) www.bassettissimmo.com So somebody suggested using iweb. I tried it out but found myself getting stuck - I have so many folders, sub folders and sub sub folders! But I found that the photo albums were far more attractive than those I could create in photoshop, hence my question to this forum.
Someone has already asked the question, and YES I do need very long file names!. There are about 10,000 (ten) photos on my website - it's a basset hound collectables museum! Thus, I like to give as much information as possible about each card or object. For example, in the cards section there will be the number of the card, type and if relevant artist, plus country of origin. Ex: 3452 greetings card, Pam Tanzey, USA.jpeg. So you see, 25 characters is not enough and I have not found a way in photoshop to solve this problem.
Thank you again for your help.

You need the Domain.sites2 file that's located in your Users/Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder in order to be able to manage and publish the site from another computer?
Do you have that file? If you do copy it to the same folder on the other computer and you're ready to go.
If not then you'll have to recreate the site from scratch. Chapter 2.3 on the iWeb FAQ.org site has tips on using some of the existing files, image, audio, video, etc., from the published site in the recreation of the site. 1

I am wanting to publish a website created in iweb via a third party web host. How do I put a password for anyone wishing to visit the mysite?

I am wanting to publish a website created in iweb via a third party web host. How do I put a password for anyone wishing to visit the mysite?

You create the usernames and passwords where you host your website. Made with or without iWeb.
Usually it's done in the controlpanel where you manage your account.
If you cannot do it there, you'll have to do it yourself. See this post :
https://discussions.apple.com/message/16014940#16014940
And what is the purpose of password protection for ANYONE who vistis your site?

No. iCloud does not host websites.

What happens to my websites created in iWeb when iCloud replaces IWeb (Rumoured)?...

What happens to my websites created in iWeb when iCloud replaces IWeb as is rumoured... they will be lost?

To tell you te truth We should should've all expected this...
With no new updates to iWeb in a good couple of years, even though it's an amazing piece of software enjoyed by million. It upsets me no end to see apple continually doing this and what have they done exactly? Left goodness knows how many customers worried and uncertain about a product they love and rely on, I do anyway.
One of the main reasons I have a Mac isn't only the build quality and the OS, although that does have a fair amount to do with it. The main reason for me moving to Apple and investing in a machine all those years ago was iWeb, being a creative control freak, I love to be able to get out my Mac, open iWeb and in minutes create a new launch page for a new mix, upgrade some of my services a customers asked for, recreate any aspect of how I present myself to people at a click of a button... I know you can upload to FTP server but phooey, why damage a good thing.
This as annoyed me no end... so I'll not doubt I'll be taking it out on an Apple employee tomorrow when I take back my blown power pack for my MacBook pro, my third one in 8 months... I sign of the way apple is going?
PS as for iOS 5 ... Seriously underwhelmed, we've been given features 90% of which should have been launched in iOS3!.. Oh, although I can't handle windows anymore, have you see. The new Windows 8 layer? Watch out Apple, he's behind you
