Viewing Navigation Drop Down and Meta Refresh
Navigation Drop Down and Meta Refresh

While rebuilding my iWeb site - shuttletpe.us, I’ve decided to go with Roddy’s suggestion of code insertion to add a meta refresh to the head code box in the directory page inspector. It works for only one directory, the others give me a Not Found -404. My attempts to make it work include: Verifying accurate copy/paste of the code and using my directory names. I have deleted the entire site from the server and publishing the entire site anew. I've also ensured my Safari caches were cleared. As suggested, I tried using clear pages (that are the index.html pages) with no success. As published, the browser text box and status bar - when moused over, all indicate what I would expect and are consistent with the one directory that does work. What is strange is that using EverWeb’s Preview option with Safari shows the website operating as it should before publishing. |

Have you actually published the new version to a server? Entering shuttletpe.us gets me to the iWeb built site. ------------------------------- Roddy Website: http://everwebwidgets.com Contact: http://everwebwidgets.com/ewWidgets-home/contact.html NOTE: I am an EverWeb user and NOT affiliated with EverWeb!

Check the meta refresh in the head code box of each directory page. For example, the one in the directory "Back In The Day" should be like this… <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;url=my_dad.html" /> ------------------------------- Roddy Website: http://everwebwidgets.com Contact: http://everwebwidgets.com/ewWidgets-home/contact.html NOTE: I am an EverWeb user and NOT affiliated with EverWeb!

The URLs are wrong. <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;url=My_Dad.html" /> should be : <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;url=my_dad.html" /> and <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;url=Winding_Down.html" /> should be : <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;url=winding_down.html" /> It isn't the first time rockets explode because of a wrong character. |

And we have Blast Off! Thank you very much. It did not occur to me that publishing the code would be case sensitive. There-in lies something to be aware of when previewing the site using EverWeb vs actual upload. In the preview, it all worked as I thought it should. Thats not really a bug as it is awareness and knowledge of code. In the Space Shuttle program, the countdown clock was set using a command line function with specific syntax but we only had uppercase characters - no problems there. If you did not pay attention to what you were doing, you could omit a minus sign and the countdown clock would start to count up, not down. Not generally a problem since the countdown clock was set several days in advance and it was easily corrected. Just embarrassing to the console operator. Thank you for your answer. At the Rocket Ranch, we say the only stupid question is the one you don't ask. |
