Describe how you save the file. Notepad has a bad reputation for saving files with undesired file extension, many had dealt with this. Also describe in detail the steps you take for testing the page.

right click on the file and select properties. if the file extension is .txt, it means you need to resave it as html. when you go to save as, the save as type: should be all files. and then save the file as whatever.html

How did you load the file in the browser? did you type in the file URL or did you drag the file to drop on the browser? Did you try with other browsers? did it work the same or what?

I’m going to assume you’re using Windows here you can try typing into your browser’s address bar “file:///C:/path/to/file.html” You can’t do “www.whatever.com” because you don’5 have a domain name. Also, if you haven’t already, you should download notepad++. It’s a little more pleasant to use. Also, when you saved your file, did you change the file type (in the dropdown next to the file name) to all files? If you left it as text file, that’s why it’s not going to work. Also, a search engine is not a browser. Bing is a search engine. Chrome, Firefox, and Edge are browsers. You should not need a search engine to access your file, since it’s local

Try checking the header in your codes and the extension saved ".html" or "hml".
