Saving Your HTML File

After you have typed your document, you must save the file. (Be sure also to save your file periodically as you are working on it. This will prevent your work from being lost in the event your computer loses power.)

If you are creating your HTML document by manually coding the tags:

1. Choose FILE : Save As (NOT just SAVE—this would save the file in a word processing format). (NOTE: After the first time when the Save As command has recorded the location, file type and file name, you can safely use the Save button or menu option.)
2. Change to the drive and directory in which you wish the file saved.
3. Change the file type to “TEXT WITH LINE BREAKS (ASCII)” (”Text Only” also works, but your code, when viewed in the browser’s view source will continue past the right margin).
4. The file name must:

• Have no spaces
• Have an “.html” extension
• Be named “index.html” if it is your initial home page.

1. Close the document.

If you are creating your HTML document in an HTML editor that inserts the tags for you, choose the “Save As HTML” option.
