How do I save an HTML web page I am creating in notepad?

I am taking a course in creating websites. I am trying to figure this out at home. I have pulled up notepad and I know I am doing everything right with HTML as far as setting up the website, but I want to see my progress as a regular web page. In class I was shown how to save a file for the notepad stuff to go to, but I don't know how to do it at home.

How do I save an HTML web page I am creating in notepad?
Edit your html with notepad and load it up in another window with your browser. When you want to see your changes save it in notepad, switch to your browser and hit F5 to reload the page.





Or better yet, download a copy of Web Developer Express from the Microsoft site. It's free and you can seamlessly switch between HTML and Web views.
Reply:save it as "%26lt;filename%26gt;.htm" or "%26lt;filename%26gt;.html" either one will do.


However, becareful, select "All files" below at the save file dialog instead of "text file", coz u might get into a file like this if u name it "abc.htm" ended up..... could be "abc.htm.txt" %26lt;- a text file instead of html file.





the tips is just make the file extension.. become .htm or html ;)
Reply:I recommend using a text editor such as PSPad ( http://pspad.com ) which offers such features as syntax highlighting and a built in browser for previewing your work. All you have to do is press F10 to have it open the current file in it's internal web browser. Far easier than saving your page every time you want to preview it.





If you are going to use Notepad then when saving change the Save as type to All Files and put .html onto the end of the file name.
Reply:HTML is really stored as text and you use Notepad (a text editor) to create it. If you save the file with .html you can preview it in a browser just by opening it.





The other option is upload the file to a server where a web server is running...

Reply:To be truly specific:


1)Get to the part in the saving process where you enter the filename for the saved file


2)Select the txt file type dropdown menu and select All Files


3)For the file name, make SURE you add a .htm or .html to the end of the name


4)Lastly, for the last dropdown menu, select Unicode





That's how I always save my webpages, and they work out just fine as long as my coding is proper.
Reply:just save it as whatever name you want .htm For example: mywebpage.htm or mywebpage.html Then open it up in firefox or IE7 and voila it appears. Good luck with your html class!
Reply:Ooh, ooh, (my hand is up). I know this one. I learned html and css at home for a hobby. I know exactly where you're at. To answer your question... Save as... change save as file type to "all files" then change the .txt extension to .html





But, if you want the very easiest way to view the html page that you are working on as you are editing it, use html-kit. I absolutely love it. Here is a link to the freeware program and the best thing is that it has hundreds of plug-ins to make web page creation a breeze. http://www.htmlkit.com/download/
Reply:Using notepad, by default the files will be saved with .txt extension. Even if you gave the file name as 'somefilename.htm', with out quotes, in the filename textbox, it would be saved as 'somefilename.htm.txt'.


To override it, while entering the filename use double quotations, such as "somefilename.htm". This wont override the file extension with .txt, so your filename will still look like 'somefilename.htm' only and if any program like firefox or internet explorer is associtated to open the .htm files, the corresponding icon will be added to your file.





You could either save the html files in .htm or .html extensions.
Reply:First, select "All Files" in the file type box, then save it with a .html or .htm extension.
