Does your HTML file look something like this?
Figure: Screenshot of simple HTML page in browser window, highlighting title, address and text elements.
The font and the browser may be different depending on your computer, but all the highlighted elements should be there. If you have made a mistake in typing in the code you may need to update the file. Common mistakes include not closing pairs of tags (e.g. writing <p> but leaving off </p>), leaving out closing brackets (>) and missing quotation marks (").
Updating the file:
A good way to monitor changes as you work on your HTML file is to have two windows open side-by side. First the text editor and second the browser showing the page you are working on at the same time.
To monitor your changes as you go:
- Make a change to the on-screen text in the text editor.
- Save the document (do not change the name)
- Click on the browser window and hit the "Refresh" or "Reload" button. Your changes should appear in the browser.
