Simple HTML template for the Intro to Programming course

For my lessons in Introduction to Programming, I need a simple HTML for google chrome that I can plug my programs into and run them in the browser. If someone could give me one, that would be great.

I'd suggest you use jsbin.com instead of a basic webpage

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>

You could check out jsFiddle. It's a browser based html, css and javascript editor that lets you see the output from your code live. It also lets you save/share them too :)

Edit: The url is http://jsfiddle.net/

Well, I was thinking of more like a simple copy and paste type deal. I have a program that will run the HTML, but I need a basic HTML to run.

I highly suggest that you get a text editor like Treehouse recommends, instead of a browser solution. If you ever change your mind and decide to get a text editor, I can recommend Sublime Text 2.
