Now I just feel STUPID !!!!!! Zac helped me get restarted. Thank you, Zac. I use google chrome. When I start google chrome it opens with several pre-set tabs How do I get it to open so I can work with it to complete the index.html file in the notepad and continue on to the next step ?????

Then, depending on how big your screen is, you might be able to move and resize the windows so they fit next to each other, or you might need to have them overlapping a little, but you'll be able to see both at once.

10,071 PointsHi Patti, do you mean how do you open the HTML file in a tab in Chrome? You just need to find the index.html file in Finder or Windows Explorer, right-click it, and select Open With > Google Chrome.

10,071 PointsHow about if you open Chrome, open a new tab, then select File > Open File and find your index.html file. That will open your file in a new tab in Chrome.

696 Pointsoops, just realized I wrote Karen instead of Kathryn, sorry !!! I did what you suggested -- open chrome, new tab, found html file, The tab was renamed to "index,html. Now can not get treehouse and new tab open at same time, so I can code while I watch video ----- it just can not be this complicated !!!
