viewing html in browser

Post by currybill »

I thought I had solved my viewing in browser thanks to yesterday's visit.
I went through the configure steps and with Chrome as my default browser, was delighted to see my text reappear in 'web' format.
But today, when I enter html code, save as html file ext and click on the world icon it opens in Notepad but still in <html> formatting. I cannot find a way to disable Notepad but do I need to?
There must be a way round this issue. All help gratefully received.

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

1. Right click the web browser icon
2. Choose Properties / Programs
3. Select TextPad as the HTML editor
4 . Click OK

Next:

Please implement the following:

From the Explorer (My Computer)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.
