Links do not preview, caused crash and don't actually work



User: Guest 12 years ago
Link option for text and shapes does not allow for testing - either in the Editor or in Preview - or even from opening the index.html from a saved to folder publish. One option that iWeb had that was very useful was a toggle to make links active or not in the editor.

Easy Web crashed when attempted to undo edits on shapes/texts I was attempting to make them links. Reopening Easy Web and then publishing to folder still did not show the change in status of the page attribute of disabling the Navigation Pages one by one (another great feature is in iWeb you can do this all at once but apparently not in EW.

I submitted a formal report on the crash. However, I can not ascertain the links. They simply do not link in any way that I have tried to test them but they are set up properly.

Can you post a URL for the website.

Most people here have used linked just fine without any issues so I'd like to see what you are doing.

If you create the hyperlinks in EasyWeb correctly they will work in Preview mode and/or in the locally published version.

You would need to show a screenshot of the settings you have applied in the Link inspector like this...



Make sure you deselect the link text (or image) after setting the options and before publishing or previewing.

What can I say? I have created quite a few iWeb websites and know how to create a 'external page' link as well as a 'one of my pages' link. I understand why you might think I may not be doing it correctly - especially since other users have had no problem, but I can not for the life of me figure out what I could possibly be doing wrong.

Forget the EXTERNAL pages for now. the editor does not allow a link to be active even for a link to 'one of my pages', and the preview does not test accurately for a link having been established; the cursor does not toggle to a link icon in preview mode either.

However, a link image icon ON the text box that is attempting to be linked does show up.

Note: As for posting the URL . . . I would make sure the URL was an active one before attempting to link it. However, this
problem is happening with even one of my pages so . . . . and it's weird because previous versions of EW I tested did not have
this issue.



I know it's probably something I am doing. I just can't figure it out.

I'll need you to send me your website project file then so I can take a look. Send it to https://billing.ragesw.com/submitticket.php

In the Finder go to the Go menu and select 'Go To Folder'

Then enter this in the dialog that opens up

~/Library/Application Support/EasyWeb/

Send me the files in that folder. Please compress them before sending it to me by right clicking on them and selecting Compress. If the file is too big, you can upload it at http://ge.tt and send the link to me.

You have two navigation bar objects covering your custom navigation bar. Go to Window->Show Layout in your menu bar so you can see them. Delete both of them and then republish your site and it will work.
