I'm using Text Edit to put web pages with CSS together..I have the prefs set to save pages as plaintext, but when I save, these text files have a Safari icon, and when I re-open them in Text Edit, rather than seeing my toiled-over code, I see it as though looking in a browser! Any clues what I need to do to keep my code files AS code? thank you! nk _____________________________________ food for thought at: http://dailypinky.blogspot.com/
