I'm trying to make an extremely simple HTML page using TextEdit (saving it as an .html file)
and none of my code seems to be working. It simply displays the code i typed in without having any effect.
Please help
Mac OS X (10.7.3)
HTML code must be done as "plain" text.
if I choose plain text then it wants to save as a .txt file. Will that work?
No.
Use the preferences settings to make your file as .html.
that's what i've done. the code is:
<html>
<head>
<title>Hello</title>
</head>
<body>
Hello There
</body>
</html>
I save that in TextEdit as hello.html then i double click that file to open it in safari and it just pops up as exactly what was written above instead of just saying "Hello There"
same here.
Saved it as html and safari won't display it,only as it was written in text edit...
some please help me it's urgent and can't find an answer anywhere
cheers

Thank you for posting this. QuickTimeKirk really helped. So, in "preferences" in TextEdit go to "new document," choose "plain text," go to "open and save" and unclick "add '.txt' extension to plain text files." You then open a new document, write your code, and save. But when you save, you have to type in the ".html" extension. I did this and it worked, finaly.
My HTML page doesn't work on Safari
