Hello all,

I hope I'm posting in the correct forum. The web developers forum didn't seem like the right place for my problem, but I guess we'll see.

I recently upgraded from a G5 dual 2.0 (OS 10.4.11) to a new mac mini (OS 10.6.2). I have a website that I maintain after getting a pro to set it up for me many years ago. Basically, I would change the text and images as needed using Simpletext. Yes, doing everything in Classic. Now, I recently made some changes using Textedit, saving as an html. I uploaded using Fetch (5.5) and the page displays only the html and not a web page.😕

I tried doing the same thing in MS Word with the same result.

Any suggestions?

Thanks for your help,
Tim

Open the textedit preferences, in the open and save tab, you need to check the box that says
ignore rich text commands in html files
 
Plain text isn't listed as an option. Web page is. I tried once before to use OS X.x for my web updates using TextEdit and couldn't get it to work. I was pleased to see that I could save it as a web page (.html). I tried saving it using file format: "web page" and got this result.
 
If rich text were the default, you can change a document to plain text by choosing Format --> Make Plain Text or Command + Shift + T.
