Application for editing and rending HTML side by side? - html

Is there an application that can edit and render and web page side-by-side similar to http://rendera.herokuapp.com/ , but can working "offline" (i.e. can be working even without internet connection).
I tried googling for WYSIWYG HTML editor, but I couldn't come with something similar to http://rendera.herokuapp.com/

I found Brackets (http://brackets.io/) somewhat similar to I'm looking for. I managed to find the similar question (different keywords) in StackOverflow (Is there an HTML/CSS/JS editor that immediately shows changes?), so somebody can mark this as duplicate

On windows just point your built-in IIS server to your working directory
When you edit your html , just refresh the web page
Use Python to serve up your web page from the directory your working in
python -m SimpleHTTPServer
When you edit your html, just refresh the web page
If using angularjs you can use
ng serve
This will load your website normally on localhost:4200 , any change to your code will force a reload of your website
Simply have your browser on one side and your editor on the other.

when I open my index.html file by clicking on it and without lite-server none of the bootstrap classes works /node.js and react/

So I'm noob in working with node.js and react but I started developing a simple website.
I have some questions but I don't have any programmers around me.
I use lite-server for browser syncing , but when I open my index.html file without that-I mean by only clicking on it and opening it in chrome- it looks like none of the bootstrap classes works. so if I want to open the project I developed in localhost in a different computer what should I do ? and why this happens??
cause I have developed simple websites like this one before-without node.js- and I could zip the whole root folder and send it to someone else but now it's not possible for me to do so.

Does changing the contents of index.html require restart of IIS Site?

I am currently working on a site which is built in using a Custom Designed CMS (there are files with .asp extension). This site is really old and seems like running on IIS Server, which I don't have the access. User asked me to add few items. I made changes to index.html file and uploaded to the server, however, the changes don't seem to take in affect.
So my question to Pros, is, do i have to restart the IIS instance? I tried to change the index.html existing content such as Search Bar's placeholder text from Search to search, uploaded the page and nothing happened. Also added new p tags and no luck.
I have never dealt with IIS site. Any suggestions? One thing for sure I can see is that the Home Page in Custom backend is pointing to the index.html file (which I am altering).
Not at all. I does require a reload/refresh at the client-side though.

ASP not running in .htm file in browser

I am attempting to run some asp code in a htm file however whenever I open the file it doesn't actually run the code but instead just displays the code without the '<%%>'. I've tried changing the file type to all sorts of things (.html, .asp, .aspx, .shtml) however none change anything and .asp doesn't even run (instead just displays the text as the the browser would when opening a text document).
I found some code on w3schools.com which is where I'm learning html however it doesn't work nor does the site mention any prerequisites for using asp code in an htm file.
The code:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
<% response.write(request.querystring("fname")) %>
</body>
</html>
I have gone and ticked the ASP Windows features and whatever else related but that did nothing.
I am on a Windows 10, if that is relevant.
I am using opera (though I've tried opening in Window's Edge as well) and just opening via double-click or dragging into window. I am new to html in general so sorry for such a dumb question that may have already been answered before, I have searched a lot but after quite some time I decided to just ask.
I'm not sure what you are learning, but I think you might have come across Classic Asp. I'd recommend you download Visual Studio Community Version which you can find here
and instead try to learn ASP.NET.
However, if you want to launch your file you will need to use the local IIS. Simply go to START and in the search bar type IIS:
It should look like this:
On the left hand site, you will see SITES --> Right Click On it and point it to your Folder/File. Once it's there, then click on your SITE Folder in IIS and click on START which is on the right side with a red border. If it doesn't come up, click BROWSE *.443 which is right below it. It should launch.
If you are just starting, I'd suggest you download Visual Studio Code or ATOM and start creating simple .html files/website. It might be too overwhelming to go into ASP.NET or Classic before you become familiar with static .Html files.

Some weebly features don't work when exporting to HTML and hosting on a different server

Recently I've been tasked with redesigning a website for the current company I'm working at. I've been using weebly to make the site, and then exporting the HTML to be re-hosted on the company's servers.
However, I've noticed that some functionality in weebly's code has stopped working. I imagine this might be due to weebly hosting some elements on their own servers, but this is merely a beginners best guess.
1. The picture for the logo on the banner does not appear once the HTML is rehosted
For comparison, here's the site while hosted on weebly:
http://mjmacoustique.weebly.com/
and the site on the company's servers:
http://www.mjm.qc.ca/redesign2015/
When weebly hosts, the ''MJM'' image should be on the top left and function as a return to home page button when clicked. However, when it's hosted on the company's server, the image is not found.
2. On Firefox, the background image of the home page is replaced with an all black background
When opened in firefox, it fails to load the background image of the main page.
Any help or solutions to these problems would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
I can help with question #1: the logo is hosted on weebly's servers, but in the html it's written in a shortcut method like this example: /uploads/2/6/8/5/26851316/1434298489.png"
the easy workaround would be to keep the weebly version of the site working, in in the html change the src value of the missing images to something like this http://mjmacoustique.weebly.com/uploads/2/6/8/5/26851316/1434298489.png
So you haveto add the http://YOURSITE.weebly.com before all the src values of your images.
otherwise, just load all the images you need on a blank page of the site on your servers, copy image urls of those and replace the urls in the html with that.
Hope that helps?
The firefox issue might also be solved if all your src values are linked correctly but I cannot be sure about that.
When I tried exporting a site from weebly, some assets were missing from the zip it produced. This resulted in some images failing to appear because they simply weren't there. I don't know how often this happens (or if it happens only for some sites), but weebly's export feature definitely seems to have bugs.
I worked around this by using wget to recursively fetch the content that weebly was hosting. Then I hand-copied the missing assets (and only the missing assets) from the directory structure saved by wget and merged them into the directory structure from weebly's export zip. This is time-consuming, but necessary since the directory structure fetched by wget includes dynamically-generated content (meta data for weebly's editor, assets with decorated names, etc) that you probably don't want in the content you host elsewhere.

Convert webarchive to html

I managed to collect the behavior of a complex web site into a webarchive. Thereafter I would like to turn that webarchive into an html set of nested directory. Yet, when I did it both with Waf and with a commercial software bought on the the Apple store, what I get is just the nested directory with the html page at the bottom and no images, nor css nor working links.
If you are interested the webarchive document is at:
http://www.miafoto.it/it/GiroMilano.webarchive
while the weak product of the extraction is at:
http://www.miafoto.it/it/Giromilano/Pagine/default.aspx
and the empty directories above.
In addition to the different look, the webarchive displays the same behavior as the official web site - when a listbox vales is selected and then the button pushed - while the extracted version produces a page with no contents by loading itself rather than the official page.
As you may see the webarchive is over 1MB while the extraction just little over 1 KB.
What is wrong with it and how may I perform such an apparently trivial business with usable results?
Thanks,
textutil -convert html example.webarchive
Be careful — html with files is created in the same folder as webarchive!
Also, I had to open .html with text editor and replace "file:///image.tiff" links (replace "file:///" with "") so they point to relative path.
Also, not all browsers display .tiff images.
Who knew we have Stack Overflow wiki?
I find that this WebArchiveExtractor.app works on my Mac (Mojave OS) –
https://robrohan.github.io/WebArchiveExtractor/
I managed the issue by finding all parameters being submitted in the page and submitting them too in my script, ignoring the webarchive.
To save HTML pages on mac, I use chrome. Download and install it and save your page as HTML. Safari will save the web pages with webarchiveformat and for me, it's very hard to deal with it.
