1,411 PointsHTML for Sublime Text 2
I really need a basic HTML that I can either copy and paste into Sublime Text 2, and then run in my browser, or, if possible, I was wondering if there is a simple HTML that you can just open in Sublime Text 2, if so, please let me know.

Treehouse TeacherHey Aaron,
Check out HTML5 Boilerplate. Sublime Text 2 also has some HTML snippets you can use.

But if you really want to use a basic HTML file:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en-us">
<head>
<title>My JavaScript Playground</title>
<meta name="Description" content="My JavaScript Playground">
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<script type="text/javascript">
/* JavaScript goes here */
</script>
</head>
<body>
<!-- HTML Goes here -->
</body>
</html>

this is what's inside:
index.html
<!doctype html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>Untitled</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css">
</head>
<body>
<script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.7.2/jquery.min.js"></script> <!-- Remove http: if not working with file:// protocol -->
<script src="script.js"></script>
</body>
</html>

39,199 Points@Enrique - You should use normalize.css instead of a hardcoded CSS reset. You can learn more about normalize.css from this Treehouse quicktip

Enrique de Larrazabal
3,595 PointsHahahahaha, I hate normalize. Sorry, but i find that it is so much easier to just reset everything , I find my self overriding the padding, margins, font-size, etc in Normalize.
