View Your File in a Browser


Create your first web page

In choosing your text editor and writing the 'helloworld.html' file, you've just created your first web page. Now you will view it in all of its glory. This is just a quick task and it should only take five minutes at most. 

Open up your web browser and from the file menu at the top choose File > Open and open the 'helloworld.html' file that you've just created. Congratulations for the second time. That's a web page that you created.

    Hello Friends

    It's Forsure Yunome I created this file with PSPad PsPad is comparable to RJ TextEd, or Geany both top notch and familiar to me. I have been meaning to explore PSPad's functionality. This challenge is the motive I must have been waiting for. Both RJ TextEd and PSPad catch and parse compiler output, integrate external help files and compare versions. Good general IDE's. They are both portable requiring no installation. PSPad offers integrated HEX Editor, Project support, FTP Client, Macro Recorder, File Search/Replace, Code Explorer and Code page conversion. Only drawback so far is that it is Czech developed so the community is predominatly incomprehensible to me. However there is an english section to the forums. Documentation and help for english users is none too shabby. I feel people who are new to the more advanced text editors like Np++, Notepad2,vim, Ultra Edit or Gedit might find it easier to start utilizing the advanced capabilities these programs offer via RJ TextEd or PSPad. My 2 Cents. I would also like to point windows users to this little gem below.

    I guess I completed this task without knowing I was going to come across it ahead! I did it yesterday and I have been doing it for years, seriously, so, no doubt. I completed it and I am comfortable with it right now! You can see a snapshot of the page by visiting my cool blog:

    It seems alot of people had no trouble getting this done. I admit it  was a little easy and repetative. But still good for practice. There are some who cannot do this from memory. I wish everyone success in their endevor.
