iWeb and IIS

OSIRIS · 11-21-2007, 11:13 AM

Any of you ever built a site using iWeb to be hosted on a machine running IIS? ISIS is making a site for a friend and she's using iWeb to create it, but found out today that they'll be hosting on an IIS box. Since I know diddly about web hosting, I figured I'd ask here. Hopefully, it'll work, but something tells me it might get a little quirky.

I can think of no reason it should have any issues. You could look through the .html files with a text editor for java tags that look weird. If you are at all serious I would recommend testing it with Safari, Firefox and Internet Exploder as that will test a huge percentage of rendering engines available (only Opera comes to mind as one that may use a different engine)

I don't think she's going to have any problems. It's just a basic HTML page created in iWeb. I do know that IIS can do some funky things sometimes, and that's what the guy is going to use to host it.
I'll make sure she tests in all browsers before she submits it

Thanks sheep!

Also if you are doing a bunch consider BBEdit to hand tune them. Their motto is "it doesn't suck" truth is it is the best text editor I have used on any platform.

It'll probably be ok. Web content is web content for the most part. Microsoft has tried to create some of their own web standards for IE like they try with everything else but if it's just basic HTML it'll be fine.
