Copying and saving text from a web page
- Open the TextEdit application. This will open a blank document.
- In the Format menu select Make Plain Text
- Copy the text below from the web and paste it into your TextEdit document.
<!DOCTYPE HTML> <html> <head> <title>HTML Hello World</title> </head> <body> <h1>Hullo!</h1> <div> <img src="http://bit.ly/b1PFic" alt="Hello World!" /> </div> <h2>h2 heading</h2> <p>This is our HTML sample code. It shows several elements: </p> <ul> <li>The html document block.</li> <li>The head, which contains the title of the page.</li> <li>The body, which contains the content.</li> <li>An h1 and an h2 header.</li> <li>An image.</li> <li>A paragraph.</li> <li>An unordered list.</li> </ul> </body> </html> - Did you select Make Plain Text in the Format menu? – If not, do it now!
- Save the TextEdit document – call it "something.html". (If you are asked whether you want to use ".html" or ".txt", the answer is ".html".)
Opening an html file in a browser
- Now make a new browser window.
- Use Open File from the browser File menu to open the document you just saved.
Editing and modifying an html file
- Edit the document in the TextEdit window.
- Save it.
- Reload the page in the browser window.
