using TextEdit on Mac...doesn't display as a web page. advice? - html

I save a basic "Hello World" html file on TextEdit on my mac, but it won't open as a webpage and I just see code when I open the file.

Go to your text edit and under prefrences
Make sure this is checked
Make sure plain text is selected
Create a new file and named the file with format also
For example: index.html <--- where html is the format
Then you are good to go!

HTML Href how to open a file as text

Is there a way to use
test
but when clicked it opens the html file as a text file, like what happens when you open a css file in your browser
You need to use the file:/// protocol if you want to link to local files. So in your case paste file path with that three slashes.
Code Example:
test.html
test.css
I hope this will help you out if not, do let me know!

Should my index.html file be a text file?

so i am pretty new to this and i was wondering if the index.html file for my site is supposed to be a text file (also, i'm on Windows 10). When i create the index.html file in file explorer the file that makes the most sense to me is a text file. (The files are: bitmap image, contact, rich text document, text document, and compressed zipped folder), So i would assume i'm supposed to pick text document. The folder ends up looking like index.html.txt, not sure if this is how i'm supposed to do it.
Start notepad, or an editor of your choice.
Type in the content you want for your file.
Save-As “Index.html” in the location you desire.
Well, the file extension is in the name itself ".html" just the same as a Cascading Style Sheet (CSS) file would be saved as a ".css" file and a Javascript file as ".js"
Everything after the "." is the type of file.
Yep, everyone above answered correctly. You want to save the file in a plain-text format with a .html at the end. Then you can open it in a browser like Internet Explorer and it will interperate the file as an HTML page.
You can use a program like CoffeeCup to easily edit HTML files and it will save them as plain-text.
You can't edit HTML files in rich-text editors like Word.

Web page export as Microsoft word css missing

when Export a webpage in Microsoft word in table format the table layout not showing properly missing css styling please help me.
A doc or docx and an html file are very different from each other. If you want to save an offline version of the website, use a scraper or take a screenshot of the webpage you are interested in.
CSS does not work in word and so it is not recognized. There are workarounds but I don't really see the point. Just save the document as an html and work with that! Have a nice day!
Try this:
Goto your Microsoft Word Document.
Then goto Insert >> Object >> Text from File
Select the required .html file from the Insert File Dialog box.
Save your document in Word Document (.docx) format.
Or try this one:
Save your document as .html or .htm format.
This will create a folder with your documents.
Add your CSS stylesheet to the created folder. To add stylesheet, Goto Developer Tab >> Document Template >> Linked CSS >> Add.
Hopefully this will work!

How to write html file with a text editor

I am trying to write my first html document.
Here is the link to the reference.
I am using TextEdit on Max OSX 10.6 and after I save it (as an html file) it is opened by the browser by double clicking on it. However the source script text is shown instead of the html structure.
What I am getting wrong?
You need to convert it to a plaintext document
Click Format and then 'Make Plain Text', then make sure to save as .html
Does the icon of the file has an "e". Usually these kind of files should have an icon as an e. Also make sure you are saving it as .html file. I think the actual extension of the file is hidden.

How to edit HTML source in DevTools

I go to the sources tab and try to edit HTML file - I can't
whereas I can edit js/css files - curious, how can I edit the HTML? if I can only edit it via the Elements tab, then what can I do so those changes reflect in the HTML file found in sources? reason I ask is because I want to save the html file with all the different changes I've made using Devtools
It's weird, but I do it by changing whatever I want in the elements-tab, then right click on the <html> tag and press Copy as HTML, then make a new .txt file, paste it in there, and rename it to a .html file!
