Basic HTML code of Mac?
I just purchased a Macbook Laptop. I’m trying to save my very basic lines of code in Textedit, but even when I save it as .html, it shows up in both safari and firefox just displaying the code, not the way I formatted it in the html coding. Following is the code:
<html>
<head></head>
<title>Web</title>
<body> Hello </body>
</html>
when i open the document in firefox, it simply reads code for code, rather than just "hello". What am i doing wrong?
Try using this code to do that then.
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />
<title>Web</title>
</head>
<body>Hello
</body>
</html>
It seems to me that your title tag there should be within the head and you should also always declare the DTD as well.
I tried it and didn’t have an issue. The only thing I did differently is added an <h1></h1> tag around ‘Hello’.
Is the icon for the file a small page with a Safari image?

goto properties and save as properties to IE
On the save screen did you choose ALL FIiles? Not textedit files? Just a guess as I have no clue about macs but I think it will help
Maybe you’re Saving the document wrong.
I just ran your code and it works.
Clue: You have to use a text editor to format the extension. It’s not a word processor format. You probably have the option to Save As a text document. That’s what you need.
Save as html.html
Works.
