Hi delaram,

textedit is a word processor and not a dedicated text editor. You can configure it to work with text files but it might be better in the long run to switch to a real text editor. Sublime text is one.

Do a search for "mac text editors".

The Code need to look like:

<p>hello</p>
<iframe src="anotherpage.html" width="300" height="300" ></iframe>

thanks Christian, yes i know, i have only removed the quotation marks in order for it to work !!! otherwise like other parts of the code my source would have had weird characters instead of the " marks.

For now I have removed the " before and after the utf-8. but I think there should be a right way to fix this!
