niche Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 (edited) Use notepad++. http://notepad-plus-plus.org/ Edited July 20, 2012 by niche 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boen_robot Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 Where it says ".txt", it should be a dropdown menu. If you click the arrow next to it, the other option should be "All files". Press that, and then whatever name you give your file, that will be it - no ".txt" added to it.As far as encoding goes, change that to UTF-8 instead, and in your HTML's head, add <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8"> (it's hard to explain right now... you'll get it when you reach PHP)BTW, any "HTML editor" will do the trick too, not just Notepad++. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krewe Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 The trick with Notepad is to type out the whole file name + its extension.Even though the drop down menu doesn't say .html you can still name your file "welcome.html" and it will save as a regular .html file.Same goes for .css, .php, etc. ~Krewe 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise, you'll get a file named "welcome.html.txt" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
