And mine won't just save as page to view. it has .txt after it so it will just show up like I typed it in.

So you see where it says TEXT DOCUMENTS, highlighted in blue? Mine says that, but then it has .txt after it. So what's the deal and how do I fix it???

Click that and then select ALL FILES
Save as yourpage.html, and it should work. You could also leave it as text documents and put quotes around it like "yourpage.html"

So is it supposed to show up like the site???

Check if your page has a .html after it. Sometimes if you don't it comes out as a text document. so, for example, instead of mypage it woudl be mypage.html :)

if you jsut type pagename.html or .htm then you should be able to double click on the file and see your page. one way you can tell is the icon for the file will be a white page with the internet explorer e on it... unless you have a different browser as your default browser, then it will be that browser's logo on a white page.

It does show up like that in the folder, but it doesn't show up as the page...

there are 3 ways for you to get yoru page to save correctly to a .html.

1) Change the drop down menu to All Files, rather than *.txt. Then save your file as *.html

2)simply put the mane of the file in quotes when you save it, it wont save as a txt. e.g. "index.html" will save as index.html, rather than index.html.txt

3)If you realyl want to (although it can be dangerous), you can open up a folder and click File >> Folder Options... Click View, and there is an option to see an option to Hide the Extensions for known filetypes. Uncheck that box. Then it will save as whatever file type you put into notepad.

There is a problem with option 3 however. If you rename a file you have to retype in the file extension or the file will be comeunuseable untill you add the extension. Hope that helps.

please post the code that you are putting into the notepad file. maybe there is something wrong with your code

chances are that if it is showing up as index.html in your folder and isnt opening correctly it is actually saved as index.html.txt. Porgrams automatically put the default file type on the end of a name for you. and since periods are allowed in a name, you cna hve a file saved as something like index.html.txt.html.txt.html.txt.html.txt, and it would be a valid file.
