Opening HTML with safari

Hello, this may sound like a ridiculously beginner question, but for some reason, although the file is .html (it is an html file, I've checked through finder, control clicked my file, pressed get info, and found it to be of html type) I can't open my file through safari! Although there is substantial code in my html file, what displays is, "Your Website" creating your own website is easy with a mac... which is kind of ironic. I'de love to be able to figure out why this is responding in such a manner.

I downloaded google chrome also, and the same problem occurs. I also downloaded internet explorer, only to learn that mountain lion doesn't support power pc applications. Through safari I enabled the develop tab in the menu bar, and tried internet explorer through there. Although this seems like a very basic and quick fix, I'm stuck! Please help, walker

Good to hear, Walker :)

If you'd like, can you also post your solution? It might be helpful to others who come across the same issue.

Thanks!

I actually just changed the location of the file, if I remembered correctly it was located in some very generic place, such as Macintosh HD/User/Documents, or wherever the default place for saving something On textEdit was. I moved it to a folder called Projects on my Desktop. That's what changed it. It was strange because I couldn't find help in the mac forums, I felt like I was the first person to encounter such a thing, even though I probably wasn't. Thanks!
