virtual Posted July 25, 2010 Report Share Posted July 25, 2010 When using a text editor for web design you need to make sure that when you save your file the extension is htm or html not txt. Oftentimes this is overlooked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
falkencreative Posted July 25, 2010 Report Share Posted July 25, 2010 Also, if you are using TextEdit to edit your files, make sure you to go TextEdit > Preferences and double check that the "plain text" option is selected (rather than the default "rich text") under the "Format" heading.

conanwarrior Posted July 26, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2010 Thankyou! Changing it to plain text worked a treat trying to make your own first web page and not getting past first stage was frustrating! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
