HTML: A Guide to Hard-Coding
Viewing Your Page
The next thing we want to do is to look at the web page! Open Netscape or IE. This is the Browser. It will translate the HTML code that we have written.
We want to open the HTML file that we have saved on our disk. Go to the Menu bar and click "File" and then "Open Page" or maybe it will say "Open File"
A window should pop up that asks you what file you want opened. Click on "Choose File" It may also say "Browse," depending on what browser you are using.
Make sure you choose "31/2 Floppy" since that is where you saved your file.
Click on "index.html"and your file will open.
If you cannot find "index.html" it may be because:
- You didn't save it as .html
- You didn't save it on your floppy disk
- At the bottom of the "Open" dialogue box you can see a box labeled "Files of type." You may need to change this to say "all files" instead of just "HTML Files."
It may not look like a web page, but if you look up at the blue bar, you will see that it says, "Hard-coding HTML." This is all that weçve told the browser to show. You now have a web page!!
