I'm working on a simple site in iWeb, and I'd like to include a Weather.com "Weather Magnet" (see here http://www.weather.com/services/oap.html?from=footer) on a Weather page. The weather magnet is integrated using a couple lines of HTML, and it looks to me like it wouldn't be possible to add to an iWeb page (I couldn't find any sort of "Insert HTML")...

Anyone know if there's a way to do this? Thanks in advance!
 
Try opening the iWeb-Exported HTML file in a text editor, add the code there. I'm not sure how you would determine where it should be added. Sorry.:eek:

Maybe someone else will be more help.

It's relatively straightforward.

1. Determine the size of the weather magnet in pixels.
2. Create a text box with those pixel dimensions in iWeb.
3. In the text box type 'Weather Magnet'.
4. Publish your site
5. Go to your iDisk or wherever your site is published to and find the html file for the page that the text box is on.
6. Open this in Text Editor, making sure to select the option 'Ignore rich text commands'.
7. Press and hold down the Apple key and F on the keyboard to open the find box.
8. Type in 'Weather Magnet', or whatever you put in the text box in step 3.
9. It should locate the text and it will be highlighted, here paste over the text 'weather magnet' with your html code.
10. Save the changes to the file.

All done. The only problem with this method is that you will have to redo the steps (it gets easy once you do it a few times) every time you publish that page with changes.

HTH'S, David

P.S. My site has Apple ad's on it which I do using this method in iWeb.
