How to practice your HTML authoring
Dean Bridges on Thu Oct 09, 2008 12:42 pm
Please excuse my lack of basic understanding but the simple fact is that i have read the whole unit 4 book twice and this information is either not there or is well hiden
i am trying to practice and write my own but i can't find how to view it
it shows the coding in the book(all the <a> and </a> <title> <body> etc) and then shows what it looks like
when you create your own html page in notepad how to you view it as a web page (should i be using Notepad)
i have the full enterprise version of office 2007
i have used Frontpage with office xp in the past but this is not in the Office 2007 package? or is renamed something else any ideas
Please help it will help me understand the concept of html if i can write my own

Hi Dean
what extension do you use to save it as, notepad saves as .txt by default, you need to name it with a .htm to view it in a browser. If youlaready do this then thats me out of ideas

yeh, basically you write it in txt format. then when coming to save you must save as a html file (.html or .htm)
however I have noticed that on vista if you this the wrong way i.e. first save as a txt file while editing then use save as html it often does not change it to documnet.html but instead to document.html.txt and the double extension does not work. To solve this you have to go to control panel and change the file options somewhere, cant remember where if you still have trouble I will look it up for you.
