Treehouse ModeratorHi Zain- I know it seems like a trivial thing, but you need to make the "i" in "Index.html" lowercase. If it isn't all lowercase Workspaces and real webservers don't realize its supposed to load it as the default page. Give it a try and let me know what happens. -Randy

19,323 PointsOkay! It might be not an issue but your "<title>" tags must be inside your "<head>" tags. Period. And now regarding the issue, restart the browser?
Zain Ahmad
1,065 Pointswould that make a difference that my workspace is in a separate window and my preview tab opens in another window?
Zain Ahmad

Treehouse ModeratorDear Zain,
check the spelling of your index.html file, if it is not exactly spelled index.html, for instance you missed the "e" and spelled it indx.html, the preview doesn't know to load that page. Please let me know if that helps.
Thanks, Randy

1,065 PointsHi Randy, i think i figured out what the issue is. when i click preview i get a website with the following data Index of /
Index.html featured.jpg vr-space.jpg vr-user.jpg
the list is actually a hyperlink. when i click index, it takes me to the website i created.
now what i cant figure out is why is it showing me different page than the instructors screen and how can that be fixed.

19,323 PointsOhh so silly of me! I dunno why didnt i notice it before but your "<title>" tags should be INSIDE your "<head>" tags. Do that and it might work this time. (:
Zain Ahmad
1,065 Pointsi think that is not even an issue, when i click preview, its opening a completely different webpage.
