When you save a html or Css file in VSCODE, Content disappear and cursor goes to line 1 by erasing all the content in the file. Please I need help to save css and html files, On the Editor1.css type css code and when you press Command+ S on mac book, entire file which we type get erased off and cursor goes to line 1. and not able to save Css and Html files how can we save files on VS Code Editor
I'm not using PHP. XAMPP finds my .html file just fine, BUT it doesn't process the HTML. Instead, it displays the file as text.
Why?
This could happen if you have saved the file with the option (SAVE as text FILE)
for example if you have saved your file as abc.html then it would become abc.html.txt
enter image description here
so it is supposed to be a html file but it will become 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.
I am compiling one chm file with set of html files. In one html file i am using iframe tag and viewing text file throught 'src' attribute. I am able to see the contents of text file inside iframe when opening that HTML file in a browser. But when viewing that file in a chm file i don't see text file content. It is showing 'This page can’t be displayed' error in iframe.
This is the tag i'm using:
<iframe src="./mytextfile.txt" style="width: 100%; height: 300px;border:none"></iframe>
Is there anything to add to view that file. Please help me.
As you can see - your problem is reproducible (here on a German Windows10 machine).
You must ensure that the text file is either in the same directory as the project (.hhp) file or in a subdirectory of that directory.
You also have to add the *.txt file extension or filename to the [FILES] list in the .hhp file, as this ensures that the text file will be compiled into the .chm file. Best way is to do this by a text editor like shown below:
Save the *.hhp file and compile all content to your *.chm file.
Done!
BTW - here are some hints to another problem may be targeted:
Microsoft introduced some security restrictions many years ago that disable functionality in HTML Help files that are accessed over a network, so what you're seeing is almost certainly by design. There are two possible solutions: move the help file to your local drive, or implement some changes in the Windows registry so that you can view the contents of remote help files.
Microsoft's summary of the problem: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/896054
You may try following workaround that lets you explicitly 'unblock' a CHM help file coming from a network drive or internet download. To do this:
Open Windows Explorer
Find your CHM file
Right click and select Propertie
Click the Unblock button on the General tab
For information on how to make the registry changes, see this page:
http://www.grainge.org/pages/authoring/chm_mspatch/896358.htm
Or more straightforwardly, use the free HHReg utility available from the page below to make the required changes.

I have some PDF's sitting in a folder on my computer, is there a way to write a link to open them on to a webpage?
The main idea is when the site goes live the link will be used to download the pdfs from the folder, but obviously at a later stage the folder will be a temp folder on my website.
So at the moment i just want to open the pdfs from a link, and the final goal will be to have the links download them.
Can any one help me?
This is the file path to get to the pdf i want to link to.
C:\Users\Shaun\Documents\FormValue\CS1.pdf
How would i create the link?
If you want to have a link to a PDF, you just have to put the relative path to the file in the href attribute of an a tag. So let's say you had a folder called pdfs, with the file boom.pdf inside it, and folder called site sitting beside it, with the file site.html in it. Then all you'd have to do is put this link in the html file:
Link to a pdf
In most (all?) browsers now a days, that will open the PDF in a new tab. To download it you would right-click it and do the Save Link As thing. Just need to get the path in href right.
UPDATE
If you want to use the full path to the file, you need to prefix it with file://. Then you just put it in the href the same as with a regular link, ending up with something like:
Link to a pdf
This should work with your set up, but if the pdf and the html files are stored near each other, relative URLs are still a good option. A little bit of Google work should show you how to write those.
For each PDF just do what I talk about here.
<object height="950" data="sample-report.pdf" type="application/pdf" width="860">
<p>It appears you don't have a PDF plugin for this browser.
No biggie... you can <a href="sample-report.pdf">click here to
download the PDF file.</a>
</p>
</object>
It works with most browsers and it degrades nicely.
It sounds like youre asking if you can put a link on a web site to a PDF sitting on your computer. You can't. The files have to be either on another web site or on your site's server.
If you are using ASP.NET, you can have the link point to a handler that accepts a query string identifying the file, either by file name or a hash of the file. Then the handler can look in the folder for a file that matches the pattern, read the file as a byte array, and then write those bytes to HttpResponse.
