It is probably best to post up the code if anybody can solve this one

I'm wondering what you created your page in? If you created it from scratch in TextEdit you should be fine -- if you created it in a WYSIWYG editor and typed the code in the wrong interface, or if you created it in word, it may be "coding your code" for you and causing the HTML tags to show up.

You need to be working in a plain text program. What program did you use? If you are using Text Edit (my suggestion) make sure it is set to plain text, not rich text. You can change TextEdit's preferences to always default to plain text by going to "preferences" from the "textedit" menu. Then select "Plain text" under "New Document Attributes."

Your existing document may be rich text, so you should choose "make plain text" in the "format" menu and re-save it, if it is.

What Verviana said - its my bet too that it wasn't saved as ASCII / Plain text

what program did you use to create it? Like the others said, if it's not saving it correctly you won't actually get a true html page.

I copied and pasted your code in TextEdit, saved it as an .html file, dropped it in a Safari window and it works.

I think you just need to make sure the preferences for TextEdit are set to Plain Text, as verviana and others have pointed out.
