Unable to view in web browser

Post by Henry »

Hello

Within TexPad, clicking the icon on the tool bar, in the dropdown menu or the context menu does not launch my HTML page or any other type of file in my web browser. What I do get is a message at the bottom of the window . “This file is already loaded� This has only just happened, a few days ago there was no problem.

I have looked at all the postings that refer to: ‘unable to view in web browser’. And can find no solution.
I have ticked the ‘view in web browser’ box for each classification. I have uninstalled, and downloaded and reinstalled TexPad but no go.

I would appreciate any suggestions that would resolve the problem. Thank-you in advance.

The following instructions mormally solves this problem.

I have listed out below the actions you need to take. You may have some of these implemented already.

2. Choose Properties / Programs
3. Select TextPad as the HTML editor
4 . Click OK

Next:

Please implement the following:

From the Explorer Tools menu choose:

1. Folder options
2. File types
3. Scroll down and click on HTML
4. If it is not associated to your web browser, click on Change
5. Select the Web browser
6. Click OK

Next:

In TextPad:

Please implement the following. From the Configure menu choose:

1. Preferences
2. "+" next to Document classes
3. HTML
4. Check the View in web browser box

Please also ensure that the files are in the relevant folder, as listed under Configure / Preferences / Folders / WWW Root folder.


I hope this helps.
