Hi. I'm practicing making up web pages with HTML but cannot remember how to view my creation?

Question

Is it possible to view offline? How can I be sure it works? Thank you so much for your help!

Answer 1

yes you can view it offline. double click the filename and it will open in a browser window.

when you add something to your page go to the browser and hold down the SHIFT key and click on REFRESH to see what you added to the page

Answer 2

I found that the easiest way to do this (especially when you're mostly practicing) is to start all webpages offline. To do this, make a folder just for your page(s). Make sure all images are also contained in this folder. Use a text editor like NotePad to write the code (making sure that all of your [img src] tags are reletively sourced...i.e. if you just type stargraphic.jpg rather than C:/My Documents/Test Webpage/stargraphic.jpg or http://www.somedomain.com/yourname/stargraphic.jpg ...then the browser will just assume that the file you're asking it to display is in the same folder as the page...that way the img tag will work anywhere, whether it's offline or if you upload it to a website, as long as you have the html file and the image file in the same folder.)

Once you've typed up your code, save the file with a .html or .htm extention. To view it in a browser, double click on the file icon in that folder. If you click out of the NotePad file and need to edit something in it, right-click within the browser while viewing your page and click View Source or View Page Source.

Once you've achieved your masterpiece of HTML perfection, you can upload the .htm/.html file you created to whatever server you're using, just like you would upload a graphic.

Voila! :)

Hello.

Yes, once you have saved your HTML in your editor, save it as an .html file.

Just double click on that file and it should automatically open up a browser window (it will open up the local file stored on your hard drive). If you don't see any of the changes that you've made, try clearing out the cache within your web browser, and reload the file...or if you didn't close the window while clearing you cache, just hit reload.

Hope this helps, and good luck!

Well, assuming that you are writing the webpages directly in html, you can just make your browser point directly to your files in your computer. In other words, if your html files are in the folder:

c:\mywebsite

Then all you need to do is to type the above path to the folder followed by the html file name on your web browser such as Internet Explorer. Suppose your file name is index.html inside that folder, then just write the following (where you write the web address) in your browser:

c:\mywebsite\index.html

Answer 5

Just a web browser. Instead of url just put in the file location and name and it will open it just like a web page.

Answer 6

You can create the document and save it locally on your computer, saving it as a *.html document and then double-click on it to have it load locally on your browser.

Provided that it's pure HTML and doesn't employ server-side scripts (PHP, CGI, etc.), the layout should appear as you would normally see it as though it was loaded on the web server.

Answer 7

write all code in every document after save this file as .HTML. ready. u got a web site.
save in the desktop.

Answer 8

Yes i think it's possible, just save the webpage to your documents =)
