I'm just learning html by following a web tutorial - I have a question that I'm sure is VERY basic, but it's stumping me right now, hope someone can help!
i've been following along on the web tutorial, using text edit to write basic html code, and then they tell us to save the file as .html, which I did, and then open it in our web browser. Here's the problem - when I did that, what showed on the screen was the code written out in its entirety, instead of the content as it was supposed to be displayed. I had initially used Safari, so I tried opening it in Firefox as well, but I had the same problem. When I clicked 'view source', there was a whole bunch of html code that I hadn't even entered!
I'm not sure what the problem is, please let me know if you have any suggestions.
