Double-clicking on a .html file (HTML document, or web page) on
your disk will launch a web browser and then open your web page.
Therefore, if you want to edit your web page you must open Notepad
first. After opening Notepad (Start, Programs, Accessories, Notepad), go
to 'File' and 'Open.' Then select 'All Files' where it says 'Files of
type." If 'All Files' isn't selected, your html document may
not be visible. Make sure you're looking on your disk (the 3 1/2" floppy
A:\) for your document, as well. Select the file you wish to edit, and
click on 'Open.' Your web page will open in Notepad and you may continue
working on the html document.
To view a page in Netscape or IE (Internet Explorer), you can either
double-click on the file on your disk, which will open the browser and
bring up your page, or
you can open the web browser (Netscape, for example) yourself and select
the file yourself.
To look at a web page you are currently modifying, click on 'File,' 'Open
Page' in Netscape. Then select 'Choose File.' You can look through the
files on your disk for the file you want to see (index.html, for example)
and then click 'Open,' and 'Open' again. This will open the web page in
Netscape. Note: You do not have to be on a networked computer to work
on a web page from your disk: You do, however, need a browser installed
on the computer to be able to see the web page version of your html
document.
If you have the web page open while modifying the page, and you want to
see the changes you've just made, do 'File,' 'Save' in the Notepad for
the document, and then click on 'Reload' in Netscape (or 'Refresh' in
IE4). This accesses the most recent version of the page from your disk,
from whenever it was last saved.
