Thanks Liam, that was really helpful.

does this work with an FTP website, cos i don't have mobile me, and therefore no iDisk, and I don't want to fork out the cash for it!!!! So is there a way of editing the code for non-iDisk users????? does the HTML widget work without Mobile Me?

You could always just export your page to a folder and edit by hand from there.

How exactly do you export back to iWeb from the folder?

Thanks.

Not meaning to hijack the thread too much, but as we've progressed to talking about putting HTML 5 code in one's iWeb website, if anyone here knows of a HTML5 based AUDIO player that's available for embedding, I'd love to know about it. Thanks.

Shouldn't need one. Just set the controls attribute for the audio tag. See here.

Using the HTML5 audio tag is not viable at the moment as this is not supported by Internet Explorer at all and Firefox requires an OGG audio file.

You can define multiple sources for the audio tag. See here. As per that article, if you have an mp3 and ogg named "hello", you could include the following (changing the path of course): Once IE9 is released, all browsers will have support for HTML5 audio and thus, you should have no problem. While you may not be able to reach IE now, you will soon. From what I've read, IE9 will support MP3 and AAC.
