a quick google for "Cocoa HTML writer" indicates many have had similar issues

have a look at this guys way of saving files so it dosn't pre-format the code

You can avoid reading the big long blog post and just do this:

quote:
Start TextEdit and change the following preferences:
- Open the the "Format" menu and select "Plain text" instead of "Rich text".
- Open the "Preferences" window under the "Text Edit" menu and select "Ignore rich text commands in HTML files".

Damn. I just made it worse. Maybe I need to upgrade my textEdit.

you're typing this ~
code:
<html>

What am I doing wrong, Cooper?  I'm using TextEdit already and saving it as HTML already.  :'(  I just changed some settings as per the article.  Let's see if this works.

</html>




but your editor is doing this to it ~

code:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">
<html>
<head>
  <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
  <meta http-equiv="Content-Style-Type" content="text/css">
  <title></title>
  <meta name="Generator" content="Cocoa HTML Writer">
  <meta name="CocoaVersion" content="824.41">
</head>
<body>
<p><html></p>

I just downloaded a program strictly for web design text editing.

yay!!!!!

 

I hope my prof doesn't mind. He was wanting us to use textEdit specifically.

 

Thanks for your help, etc, you two.

if your prof wants you to use textEdit specifically then he probabally has a reason - maybe to see if you solve this issue?

Nah. I think it's so we really understand how html works, and I already do, so I think it's fine if I use a program that gives me the </head> after I write <head> or whatever. We'll be moving on quickly to using programs that write it for us, so I'm not so worried, anyway, but thanks for your concern.

maybe a new thread wasn't needed, but I have to say I don't understand why her sig didn't work right either, there is no code there to make the second pic appear under the first, and when I C&P the code into another file as a test it works as she expected it to.

I tried previewing using her code and and it was doing some odd stuff for no obvious reason, even when I put it in a table to start with.
