Whenever I write HTML in textedit, save it as HTML, and view it with firefox or any other web browser, it just shows the code, not the site that I made. How do I make it show what I made, not just the source?
Got a tip for us?

<html>
<head>
<title>Title of page</title>

<body>
This is my first homepage. <b>This text is bold</b>
</body>
</html>
Even with a basic code like this, all it shows is the code, not the actual site.

Don't save it as HTML, or TextEdit will write HTML that looks like what you wrote (OK, I didn't explain that very well). Save as plain text with a .html extension.
When I try that, it won't let me save it as .html at the end. It gives me the option to use both. *.html.rtf
It's possible. But when I did it with word, it wouldnt work either.
EDIT: Figured it out. go to Format>make plain text
