Mods, feel free to move to the correct area if Im wrong here.....thanks
My problem is I can enter .html code on a windows computer that i borrowed to test out my theory. I get my First Web Page banner the way is should look online in 5 mins. Yeah!!!
But......when I work on my MacBook Pro, no matter what I try (and Ive spent hours on something thats supposed to take 5 mins) it just wont look right when I go to view online
Im suspecting/hoping it has something to do with my Mac settings at this stage because it works on Windows for me. On my Mac I use Text Editor, save as a .html file and when I open it up as a browser page using Safari, all I see is the code entered not the Banner in its color. (when I say hoping, this mac is a refurb and I have visions of prolems arising).
Ive also tried saving the file as a .rtf file (for Text Editor), (saved as rich text I think it says - so not as a .html file). I then rename the file extension from .rtf to .html to enable me to open it in browser and heloooooo I see my banner........But also a lot of black text which isn't supposed to be there
Does anyone know what might be going wrong on the mac (settings perhaps), as I can do this fine on windows but not on the mac :-(
Thanks so much for any help anyone can give
