I seem to not catch how to make that all the edits would not be seen in a browser. I saved the file as index.html, but when I add tags - in browser I can see them =/ Can anyone explain, please?

[Update] Don't forget to encapsulate your code within the basic HTML structure for the page:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
... head code goes here, if you have any, like title tag ...
</head>
<body>
... your code goes here ...
</body>
</html>

16,395 PointsSounds like your answer fits best. I have never used TextEdit for web development, because it's so clunky. Thanks for linking to the knowledge base article. Learn something new every day. :)

16,395 PointsGood point, James. I will make an effort to do so going forward. I have used jsFiddle in the past, but it takes some getting used to. I'll check out code pen and others as well. :)
