Hi, out here in Treehouse universe! I am using a Windows 8 system. I have not been able to open up my file from my text editor into my browser to view my work. Any help?

Hi Alex, With Windows I was not able to find a "Finders Window" to open. I am not sure what to type in the address box.

Hi Meredith, when you're done editing your file in your text editor, save it as an html file (by simply naming it myfile.html). Right click on it, choose "Open With", pick Chrome or Firefox or whatever your browser is.
