How Do I Read HTML Files in My Browser?

You can view HTML files in your web browser by opening them directly from your computer.

Here's how:

1. Locate the HTML file: Find the HTML file on your computer's hard drive or storage.
2. Right-click (or double-click on Mac): Right-click on the HTML file. On a Mac, you might need to double-click or use a two-finger click on the trackpad to simulate a right-click.
3. Select "Open With": In the context menu that appears, choose the "Open With" option.
4. Choose your browser: A list of applications will be displayed. Select your preferred web browser, such as Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, Firefox, or Safari.
5. View the HTML file: The HTML file will open in your chosen browser, displaying the rendered content based on the HTML code.

Alternatively, you can open your browser first, then use the File > Open File... option (or similar, depending on your browser). Navigate to your HTML file and select it to open.

Example:

Imagine you have an HTML file named my_website.html saved on your desktop. You would:

1. Find the my_website.html file on your desktop.
2. Right-click on the file.
3. Choose "Open With" from the menu.
4. Select "Google Chrome" (or your browser of choice) from the list.
5. The my_website.html file will open in Chrome, displaying the website.
