Hey everyone,

This is my first time using Textpad at my house instead of using the computers at school...it's alot different that I had hoped. For example, I downloaded the html part of the textpad (where I can input codes to view in web browers). Would anyone know why it won't let me view the code inputs from the web? Was it something I lacked to download?...or maybe I need to learn new methods of HTML tags for this updated version of Textpad?...please keep in mind I am VERY new at this and do not know alot about this program...so any information would be appreciated. Thanks for the help.

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.

Thanks a lot for the help. Well that definatly helped because now I can actually view the page...but now it's just showing me a blank page..completly disregarding all the code inputs I used..maybe I missed something or forgot a step...

This is the most likely reason:

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

The default folder is: C:\Inetpub\wwwroot

If you can't find that folder, then you haven't installed Microsoft IIS. For more information, please see here:
