    Safari doesn't read html from text edit.
    « on: December 18, 2008, 01:34:30 PM »
    Hi, this is my first time doing any (web) developing using Safari on a Mac. Love the Mac and Safari. But I created a simple html file in Text Edit, saved it as html, opened it in Safari and it shows me the code. I could swear somebody told me somewhere there's a trick, or another text application, that must be used to write html files. Anybody know about this? Thanks.

    1. Open TextEdit.
    2. Choose Preferences from the TextEdit application menu.
    3. Click the Plain Text radio button for New Document Format.
    4. Under Saving, click the checkbox to turn off "Append '.txt' extension to plain text files."
    5. Under Rich text processing, click the checkbox to turn on "Ignore rich text commands in HTML files."
    6. Be sure the checkbox for "Wrap to Page" is deselected.

    ;)
