Hyperlink trouble

why do you response to me?

Obviously, Apple isn't about to update iWeb

that's obvious, i didn't wait for that. nuf said, i already have the installation package since last year. but only my clients can enjoy it.

A simple fix that anyone can do would be to just turn off the slideshow:

De-select "Enable slideshow"

sure one can do that but you lose the popup slideshow or one can use my iweb auto slideshow:

btw, it's iweb photos tempale page.

I threw the pop-up slide show under the bus when it failed in IE9.

sorry to hear that.

but that can be fixed too in my installation package, required just one line of code:

<metahttp-equiv="X-UA-Compatible"content="IE=EmulateIE7"/>

that forces ie to use ie7, and works just fine.

While Internet Exploder only accounts for 2% if it doesn't work I would rather not deal with it.

I tested the slideshow in IE 9 when it first came out due to someone having problems with it. Its actually nothing to do with IE but down to user error.

I just tested the slideshow on two PCs running Windows and IE 9 and the slideshow on my website works fine.

Browsers use stats from w3schools.com...

The problem is that so many iWeb users like the slideshow. I've uploaded files for, and sent the modified script to, about a dozen users so far!

your graph&chart is incoherent, where is the 2% stat?

Sorry, I was just showing IE:

Here's another take on it which tells a different story...

If you are targeting China you better get things working in IE as its the most popular browser there while Chrome leads the field in South America.

Whatever the real figures are it does show the futility of only testing your site in Safari which so many iWeb users seem to do.

search for baseURL, they are different. code doesn't lie.

Yes, I can see the difference. I don't remember doing any post-editing - of course I might just have forgotten, but I don't think so, particularly as the point of the 'bad' site was simply to throw together a demo site. And if I'd written that code into it, I would have had to point it to specific images, which I would have had to download from MobileMe and store somewhere, which I certainly didn't do. Also, I don't understand the double slash - I wouldn't have put that in a URL and I can't make sense of it - I can't locate the images in question on the server. It's possible that there's something different in the initial setup in the Publish pane, and I'll look into that when I have time. (The two sites have separate Domain files which obviously have to be changed overr manually.)

Both sites were in fact created on the same Mac, using 3.0.3. There is just one difference in the setup:

In the case of the 'good' site no Directory/Path has been specified, which one would have thought would have landed it in the wrong part of the server. This was done a while back and I can't remember exactly how I did it, so I can't throw any further light on it.

I've now modified the javascript and the 'bad' site is now a 'good' site. The top of the original read:

var slideWidth;var slideHeight;var frameHeight;var frameWidth;var scroller;var slideshow;var thumbnails;var hud;var thumbMatte=89;var pickerHeight=100;var browser;var baseURL="http://www.me.com/1/slideshow/";var windowWidth=800;var windowHeight=800;function initSlideshow

and it now reads

var slideWidth;var slideHeight;var frameHeight;var frameWidth;var scroller;var slideshow;var thumbnails;var hud;var thumbMatte=89;var pickerHeight=100;var browser;var baseURL="http://rfwilmut.net//images/slideshow/";var windowWidth=800;var windowHeight=800;function initSlideshow

and the slideshow now works:

http://rfwilmut.net/iweb/Demonstration_album/Epsom_Downs.html

which still doesn't explain why the Astronomy site worked in the first place... perhaps I did download the images last year and have forgotten.
