    Viewing HTML as it appears online
    Does anybody know a website where I can enter an HTML code and then check how it would appear online? Like, in Dreamweaver, you press F12 and it converts it all into how it would look online.

    Am I able to do this in Microsoft Word, or is there a webpage where I can enter HTML code, and it'll show me what it would look like? I'm thinking it might be a page like one of those translation engines (alta vista babel fish thing)

    Any ideas would be much appreciated!

    Cheers
    :)

    Thanks so much for that! I'll give it a go...

    Whilst I'm on the subject (I know this isn't really an HTML help thread so feel free to ignore me), any idea what code I need to alter my cursor to the crosshair shape?

    Add style="cursor: crosshair" to the tag's involved. E.g.

    Code:

    <h2 style="cursor: crosshair">Text</h2>
    <a href="#" style="cursor: crosshair">Link</a>

    Also, as for the view HTML question - what's wrong with pasting the HTML into Notepad, saving it as test.html and then double clicking on that to open it in your browser?

    I keep trying to comment on posts to thank people but it won't let me, so I'll just do it here. Thanks for the cursor help and thanks for the HTML help! I was trying to use Notepad but it kept playing up (I'm at work and our computers are STRANGE). Thanks for the suggestions though!

    For a free Text editor and auto view of code go to:

    Outstanding utility...

    I hope this helps - and it WILL if I'm reading this correctly... I recently discovered a site that helps one download any content from U-Tube to download to your own PC or cell. It actually lets you copy & paste any url into THEIR "edit this song...make your own rington" site, and it converts it for you... and IT IS FREE, ABSOLUTELY 100%. When you listen to a song, or video, copy & paste the url at the top of your screen, or move cursor over the video itself, and it will appear at bottom left. I get my music & videos at mytinyphone.com, it's great. Hope that helps. Or right click with cursor on video, it should give you the option to copy and/or convert the code... good luck.
