hi, just starting html

I had a background in the body and it looked good but i added text to it and resaved it and now when i shove it in the body it dont work

i tried to copy it to other locations in my page and it works.. it opened it in explorer and its ok and irfan

i changed my file index.html to open with firefox(not sure if its suppose to open with tp ?)

but the problems is sometimes i go to view it in firefox and the url is messed up a bit: instead of saying .../index.html it shows .../tp***(textpad references ..../index.html)

and it keeps adding tp** files

ive also tried to add color into the <body> and it doesnt work either

any solutions ?

If you use the "view in browser" feature of TextPad on a file that has been recently saved, the URL will look normal. But if you haven't saved your file, then TextPad sends a temporary version of the file (with the tp prefix) to the browser, so that it doesn't overwrite your saved version.

i originally saved it as index.html.......with the background in the body then i downloaded irfanview viewer so i could add text and i saved it over top of my fiile

the background can be placed with img src but not in the body tag

and it saves tp files everytime i hit view in browser and i have the screen to the left

also my images are in c:/webpage and no files show up in tp but they do in explorer
