Editing source code in Safari

I'm new to Mac and web design (currently doing a course and learning HTML code before going on to WYSIWYG). When editing HTML code in Windows XP, all I did was go to 'View' and 'Source' and I could edit from there. When in Safari, I can only view the source and not edit it. This may be a fairly basic question but I'm stuck. Appreciate any help on this matter (in simple terms please!)

iMac, Mac OS X (10.5.8)

Safari isn't an HTML editor. Select all the code, copy it to the clipboard, and paste it into an application such as TextEdit, TextWrangler, or Pages. The file needs to be saved as plain text to be read by a web browser.
