I created and published the following site http://www.kylebutlermusic.com using iWeb '06 and host excellence. On the connect page I added external links to the youtube, myspace, and reverbnation graphics. The links work perfectly well in iWeb, but when published they don't work at all. I talked to the people at host excellence and they say it's a code problem. Also, there is a widget (join the mailing list) below those links on the same page, that isn't working. The exact same code was inserted (using iTweak) to a different page on the site, and is working fine.

I'm at a loss for what to do here. I don't know much about code, and even if I did I don't know how to look at the code that is created in iWeb. Can anyone help me fix this? Thanks!

Hi Christin,

if you try to highlight the Facebook widget you will see what is the cause of the malfunction.



Facebook's widget has a strange behaviour. Even if you remove the list of fans and the other stuff the widget takes up the size it would take if those things were enabled. By doing so the widget covers everything else which causes the other stuff not to work. That's why I don't like the widget...
One solution is to change the order of your widgets so that the Facebook widget is last on the list and doesn't cover the other stuff.

-Mailing list
-YouTube
-MySpace
-ReverbNation
- Facebook (as last)

Otherwise use this code here:

<iframe scrolling="no" frameborder="0" src="http://www.facebook.com/connect/connect.php?id=104454602726&connections=0&stream=0&css=PATH_TO_STYLE_SHEET"
allowtransparency="true" style="border: none; width: 300px; height: 65px;"></iframe><div style="font-size:11px; padding-left:10px"><a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/Kyle-Butler/104454602726">Kyle Butler</a> on Facebook</div>

In which I limited the size.

Cédric

Thanks! The code took care of it.
