All:
I am creating a web page for my CV, and I have some really basic questions. First, how is an easy way to go from the notepad document (where I am writing the code) to what I have created on a browser (Firefox is my preferred)? I want to be able to make small corrections, then jump to the browser so that I can see if the changes that I made have corrected the glitch.
As I am sure you can see, I am really new to this.
Wheeliehmm. Open notepad, write your code. save as whatever.html (for standard pages). Now double click the file and it will open in your browser. Now when you save the doc, you can refresh in your browser and it will display the new page. To edit, right click on whatever.html on choose open in notepad. For practice in HTML, i like to use

for testing simple html. I might suggest a WYSIWYG editor (Dreamweaver, MSFrontpage) when u get comfortable with the language.Install the web developer toolbar add-on. You'll have one button to edit CSS and "Edit HTML" is under miscellaneous.You could always jazz up your cv in word (*.doc) and save it as an *.mht or preferably *.html that way it will keep most of your formatting and you dont need to alter any html or anything, really simple.Thanks for the help, but I have not solved my problem. I tried adding the toolbar, but when I go to editing - whether CSS of "Edit HTML" I just get a little window at the bottom of the web page, and cannot even see any text. I am trying to learn to use html so that I can use it as a skill when job-hunting (I M librarian, and the ability to write web pages is geting to be important for lots of jobs).
