Trouble previewing HTML in Explorer b4 uploading. Any Help?

[chicoco25]

I just switched from a PC to a powerbook and Im trying to get adjusted to the FTP process. I downloaded Fetch and Transmit. I like transmit (more like WS FTP, which Im familiar with), but Im having trouble (pre)viewing my work before uploading to the server and seeing it there. On my PC Im accoustomed to simply dragging notepad to an open Explorer window to preview the page and viewing the source to edit, but on my new mac, Im having trouble with that simple process. Is there another process Im unaware of? what are the steps? Please help...By the way, Im using BBedit to display the code. thanks alot

In BBedit go to markup>preview with.

hmm, dont see markup...It seems that this is BBEdit Lite 6.1 Is that the right program? For what I need?

[john316]

lite doesn't have all the features.

You can save it, drag the file onto the ie icon to view it, and undo the save if needed.
