    (Sorry if this is in wrong place, if so mods please move to correct area, i can never figure out where to post on this place)

    I'm currently doing an online web design course but having problems with the codes. The example question went fine fro me but when it came to the actual question which was to desifn a simple web page to introduce myself I keep getting it wrong. I used the code below which worked fine in example I just changed header names etc

    <HTML>
    <H1 ALIGN="CENTER"> Introduction</H1>
    </HTML>

    However every time i go to view the web page it come out like this below

    {\rtf1\ansi\ansicpg1252\deff0\deflang6153{\fonttbl{\f0\fswiss\fcharset0 Arial;}} {\*\generator Msftedit 5.41.15.1515;}\viewkind4\uc1\pard\f0\fs20 \par

    Introduction

    \par \par \par } �

    What am I doing wrong?

    Also it says in the course manual that it is possible to open with internet explorer then change it by going to view then sthen source. When I do this I cand see the source code but can't edit it. So I have to open with wordpad to edit.

    Is there a way to change the souce code without having to re-open as a wordpad document

    Start again, this time use Notepad, not word or wordpad. Save it as a .html file.

    Start > Programs > Accessories > Notepad

    You may be saving with the .html extension, but the file format is being saved as RTF instead of plain text.

    Open your file in Wordpad and click into File > Save As and change the type to Text Document.

    Notepad is the best way to go, most other programs will add bit of code automatically (which will ruin your own code).

    Notepad2 is a step-up from Notepad.

    Syntax highlighting, visual brace matching, advanced search and replace etc.

    You can completely replace Notepad with Notepad2 so by default everything that used to open in Notepad will open in Notepad2 if you want.
