iweb hyperlink not working after publishing local folder

Define "doesn't work." Do you mean it links nowhere, to somewhere else, doesn't act like a link, etc.? Usually with things like this it's because there is some overlapping, that you don't necessarily see visually. Removing the navigation and re-adding it can sometimes solve it. You didn't provide any link to see the page in question so can't give any further ideas.

 

hyperlink to internal file not working when published

I have a .png i've inserted into my home page that I want to used as a hyperlink into the "about" page on my site. I don't have a navigation bar on my home page, as I wanted to access the site through this hyperlink.
The hyperlink works in iweb, but when i publish the site to check it, the hyperlink doesn't do anything. I've attached an image to show that I believe i have done everything right in the link inspector. I have tried it with checking the 'make hyperlink active' box as well.
I did the exact same thing on a previous website and it worked, so i can't figure out why it isn't working on this one. The only difference is that this is on my home (index) page and the other time i did it it was in one of the middle pages of my website. I'm totally lost as to why this isn't working.

 

iWeb hyperlink publishing issue

Helllo,
I am having the exact same problem you were, and wonder if you managed to solve it? I would be very grateful for any help on this issue.
Thank you kindly,

I not surprised the OP didn't come back after a year and answer. Here is what I suggest...

In Inspector, pick an item you want to make a link and instead of "link to: one of my pages", put in the absolute address of the page you want to link.

Say you have two pages: index.html and about.html. Say you are going to post them to mysite.example.com. Instead of picking "one of my pages" and then picking "about", pick "internet address" and put in "mysite.example.com/about.html"

By doing this you are not allowing iWeb to modify any links when you publish the site and they should work when you view your pages online. I suggest you also consider other authoring options. One is taco html. iWeb is really targeted at absolute beginners and there are a few flaws. One is that some features are missing such as the ability to work with pages that are interpreted by the server such as shtml or php. Having pages interpretdd by the server allows you to create a navigation bar once and "include" it on all your pages. To me the inability to work with php and other "server side" pages is a flaw I can't live with and I really don't use iWeb any more. Another flaw is that iWeb is designed to work seamlessly with mobileme which in about 4 months will cease to exist.

 

Thank you
