Hi,
Sorry if this seems very basic, or if it's in the wrong place.
I've just moved to a mac,
When editing Webpages on a PC, I would just view the HTML source code
(in word pad),
edit it, save it as a .html and load it back up to the server.
On my mac, i can View source ok but can't edit it?
I've tried pasting the code into Text Edit and saving as .html but when

i open the page in a browser it just displays the code rather than
running it?
I've tried using IE, Firefox and Safari... same thing happens.
Please help
Jam

Try going to Format > Make Plain Text in TextEdit before pasting in the HTML
code.

But I would recommend editing local copy and following structured
approach with test server and production server - helps to save time
actually! Test server can be defined on your own mac. I would not edit
pages directly on the production web site, even if it's a small site.
