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.

    I can't find the file menu for clicking on File>Open.

    I've looked for it in internet explorer and chrome.

    What am I doing wrong?

    I cannot tell you the sense of wonder and accomplishment I felt when I opened the browser clicked on the html file I just created and saw it pop up online. It is such a amazing feeling to have to know that I created this page and it was all me, no one else. I love it and I can't wait to do more now.

    Good job. Though, don't you think you could make the words go more straight across?
    The way you have it, the entire sentence is really tilted to the right! smiley

    You are making a solid start. Keep it up.
