I cannot view an .HTM or .HTML document when selecting either the toolbar browser button, or the menu View\Browser view.

Firefox is the default browser, set in the Control panel\Set Windows defaults, and both extensions are set to open with FF.

If I click on the document in the folder, then it's OK. This feature worked in version 5.2.0 and I updated to 5.3.1 yesterday.

What am I doing wrong?

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.

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

Thanks, this was missing from the Preferences.
