TextEdit keeps saving .html file as .txt

As you know, you don't "save as..." files in Lion - Lion-compatible applications save a copy, and you don't get to specify what extension you want. So... I have all the proper preferences checked for TextEdit to properly open and manage .html documents ("ignore rich text commands in html files" is checked, "add .txt extension to plain text files" is unchecked. But every time I edit and then save an html source file, TextEdit changes the extension from .html to .txt. I've tried closing and opening the file again, both from the Finder and from TextEdit, and I see the same behavior. I can't figure out any way to keep the .html extension from within the appication - I always have to find the file in the Finder and manually change the extension back to .html after every time I edit it. Does anyone know how to fix this?

I'd like to use TextEdit.  But, for me, it is totally broken right now.  I don't know if everyone is having the same problems, but this is what it is doing to me.
.TXT extension change - All plaintext document extensions are being changed to .txt on save (either explicit or autosave).  I like to do my xml, html, etc. in TextEdit since it loads fast and used to be very reliable.  This alone is bad enough, but coupled with the next problem, I have abandoned TextEdit as completely broken for my use case.
Unable to edit HTML - All HTML files are viewed as HTML in TextEdit now.  Once a file has been ... I don't know... converted by TextEdit, I can no longer look at it in TextEdit as source.  It only shows as HTML.  This is very frustrating.
Hopefully, somebody is looking at this, because for me, TextEdit is completely broken in 10.7.1.  I'm having to resort to using vi, as I stated earlier.

  • Simple Browser which support locally saved html file having Marquee text

    I want simple java browser in which I can run locally saved html file having marquee text in it.
    My requirement is to show html file in Oracle forms.For that i need JAR Files of that browser which support html file(locally saved & support marque text).
    Because i use several browser which support locally html file but not support marque text.These browser display static html file not marque text in it.
    Can anybody help me.
    Regards

    1. There is no reliable way of guessing the encoding of a file without that information. Thats why XML for example has very strict rules wrt. it's encoding (short form: use UTF-8 or UTF-16, if you use anything else, you'll have to specify it)
    2. you might be able to make an educated guess if the possible range of encodings is limited, but it will probably never be 100% certain
    3. The HTML file might have a header entry "<meta http-equiv..." that tells you about it's encoding. You could try to read the start of the file and see if you find that, then if you found it re-read the entire file.
    regards

  • Saved HTML Files

    Saving an InDesign CS 4 file as html (export to swf) for a web page. When the html files opens in Safari there is a border on the left and the top so the page seems placed wrong to the lower right.

  • Unable to read an "iCloud Drive Saved" html file on my Iphone

    Hi,
    I have saved an HTML file on my MAC to my iCloud Drive Docs folder.
    Now I woud like to view that on my iphone.
    I go to Pages, I can see the file, but cannot open it

    Firefox reports that it is my default browser. I changed the default browser to Chrome and then back to Firefox, in case that's what you meant by "redo." Right-clicking and picking Firefox in the Open With menu works, but double-clicking the file or just picking Open in the right-click menu does not.
    I don't know why this is. Could it be due to a version update? I've noticed that Google Notifier's "Go to Inbox" no longer opens up Gmail in Firefox either.

  • Saving html file with Unicode character(Japnese)

    Hello,
    I am having some data in table with japnese characters.
    I want to save html file which contains above data in table format and open this file in excel.
    I am using
    new String(str.getBytes("ISO8859_1"),"UTF8");
    which gives me desired output in browser(using servlet). but when i write to file, same output using BufferedWriter.
    it gives me "????".
    Is there in other way to do it.

    don't you need "UTF16" as the encoding if you want extended Unicode?
    I think the Writer might strip off upper 8 bits if you specify UTF8.
    Just a thought, though I haven't tried it, so it may be a red herring.

  • Problem saving HTML files with Windows 7

    I just got a new computer with Windows 7 and I installed my (old) Macromedia Dreamweaver MX.
    Everything seemed to be working normally until I hit "ctrl + s" to save my HTML file.
    It gave me this error message:
    Access to J:\Websites\MyWebsite\public_html\index.html was denied
    I then tried to save by going to File --> Save, and that didn't help either and gave me the same error message above.
    Can anyone help me out so that I can save my HTML files? I don't have the money at the moment to either upgrade or buy the newest version of Dreamweaver.
    Thank you.

  • I-text for saving html files using java

    hi,
    i'm writng a small application and it has some report generation part based on some html templates.
    These templates have some images which are given the relative path in the html template files.
    when i generate my reports they generated and save in some other location and the thing is quite naturally all the image files are missing. can anyone help me to overcome this problem??
    thanks in advance.

    If you are using Windows take a look at what Internet explorer does when you save a web page
    If the files is save as MyFile.htm the browser will create a folder called MyFile_Files and store all the images there. and it will modify the code of the html file to refer those images.
    I think that you will have to do the same.
    Or
    Find some API which can convert HTML page in to PDF and save PDF then you will get a one file with everything in it. I think that is a better solution.
    But the way If you found such an API dont foget to post here about it . I have the same problem and I dont like the solution one

  • How do I purge bookmarks and install saved HTML file

    I would like to purge my bookmarks and install from a save HTML file off another computer.

    You can delete the places.sqlite file to reset all current bookmarks.<br />
    If you remove all JSON backups in the bookmarkbackups folder and place this file as bookmarks.html in the Firefox profile folder then Firefox will automatically rebuild the bookmarks from this file.
    You can use this button to go to the Firefox profile folder:

  • Saving html files as cfm files

    In older versions of Flash it was possible to tell the html
    publish setting to be saved with a cfm extension. I am having a
    hard time seeing how that can be done in the new version CS3. I go
    into the publish setting and give the file a cfm extension but when
    it exports it looks like this, ",html.cfm" it's just a pain to have
    to go back and change the extension after the fact. Am I missing
    something in the new version?
    Thanks,

    As the others have mentioned, this will never produce the desired result for email marketing. I think John covered this but HTML email is a unique animal all by itself - it can challenge even the most seasoned web developer because you have to deal with different email clients and not browsers - email clients are far tricker to code for. You need to use tables, inline CSS and ensure the code is as clean as can be. Dreamweaver (or other HTML coder) is definitely the way to go - forget InDesign and instead use Photoshop for the images.
    Peter's suggestion of Mail Chimp is a good one as they have a huge amount of ready made templates that have been tested in all these email clients - you just add the images and content. If you want to go it your own way, this would be a good place to start: http://htmlemailboilerplate.com/
    For reference you can also check out: http://24ways.org/2009/rock-solid-html-emails/. If you do decide to do this, I would then travel over to the Dreamweaver forum and ask any further questions there.
    Sorry. I'm sure this is not the answer you wanted.

  • Reading and saving wave files as .txt

    I am a highschool senior working on a musical analysis problem. I am afraid my Java isn't all that great. The nitty-gritty is I need a squential representation of the ampiltudes of a sound file( .wav of course) at the frequency at which is was recorded. If I am not mistaken the advantage of the wave format is that it is just that a list of integers corresponding to the ampiltude of the sound file at the recording frequency. So my job is read the array of bytes in the sound file and write them to a .txt file so that I can run other programs which I have already gotten.
    I am currently trying to work with the Javax.sound.sampled API.
    My code sorta goes like this:
    public class analyse
    public analyse()
    AudioInputStream stream = AudioSystem.getAudioInputStream(new File("audiofile"));
    DataLine.Info info = new DataLine.Info(Clip.class, stream.getFormat(), ((int)stream.getFrameLength()*format.getFrameSize()));
    Clip clip = (Clip) AudioSystem.getLine(info);
    WriteArray();
    readArray();
    line.drain().stop();
    public writeArray() {
    int numRead = 0;
    byte[] buf = new byte[line.getBufferSize()];
    while ((numRead = stream.read(buf, 0, buf.length)) >= 0) {
    int offset = 0;
    while (offset < numRead) {
    offset += line.write(buf, offset, numRead-offset);
    I had a friend suggest something like that and That wa just the bare bones of the program. readArray() would of course take the array and, using an iterator, write it to a text file.
    However, I've also come across this code while looking thru the API
    AudioInputStream stream = AudioSystem.getAudioInputStream(new File("audiofile"));
    stream.read(byte[] b, int 0, int stream.frameLength()*stream.frameSize());
    this I actually understand better, but I cannot get it to work.
    If anyone could help me with this, I would sorely appreciate it.

    Do you have QuickTime Pro? What "audio file" types are you referring to - MP3, WAV?

  • Opening and saving .mhtml files to txt or .csv

    Hello All,
    I need to accomplish the following and it's way beyond my immediate skill set.  I need ODI to do the following:
    1.     Receive an attachment in email and drop it in a folder (got this one)
    2.     The attachment is a report in ,mhtml format.  I need to get the content of the file, minus some of the header info, loaded into a table.  To handle this manually, the user opens the .mhtml file and saves it as a .csv file and deletes the unwanted header info. I'd like to find a way to handle this in ODI without user intervention.
    3.     Once the contents is in a loadable format, load the data to tables.
    My stumbling point is working with the .mhtml file.  Never done this before.  I'm sure there are options and some smart people have already figured this out.  I'm hoping someone will share their solution.
    Thanks in advance for the help!

    Ok, i did figure this out.  For those that are interested here is how I did it;
    $from = "8/31/2014 12:53:56 AM " #Get-Date –f "dd-MMMM-yyyy 00:01:00"
    $to = "8/31/2014 3:00:56 AM "#Get-Date –f "dd-MMMM-yyyy HH:mm:ss"
    $pg = Get-ProtectionGroup -DPMServerName backup01
    $ds = Get-Datasource -ProtectionGroup $pg[0]
    $so = New-SearchOption -SearchString "MASTER_.bak" -FromRecoveryPoint "$from" -ToRecoveryPoint "$to" -SearchDetail filesfolders -SearchType contains -Recursive -Location "T:\"
    $rp = Get-Recoverypoint -Datasource $ds[0]
    $ri = Get-RecoverableItem -Datasource $ds[0] -SearchOption $so
    #If you want to see what Items match the above search, just run $ri
    #Here is the part i was missing..getting the correct library.
    $lib = Get-DPMLibrary -DPMServerName backup01
    $rop = New-RecoveryOption -TargetServer SQL03 -RecoveryLocation CopyToFolder -FileSystem -AlternateLocation "T:\SQLsafe Backups\Offlined Backups\Master\" -RecoveryType Restore -OverwriteType overwrite -dpmlibrary $lib[2]
    Recover-RecoverableItem -RecoverableItem $ri -RecoveryOption $rop
    #This will just give you the status if you don't want to use the GUI
    Get-DPMJob -DPMServerName "backup01" -JobCategory RecoveryTape #-Status InProgress
    So the issue was getting the dpmlibrary then adding the reference to that library in the  recovery option (-dpmlibrary[x]
    Also, when using the -SearchType contains, you can be creative in matching the kinds of files you want it to find ie. -SearchString "*abc*MASTER_.bak"
    This script will recover all of the matching files to the specified location, though it does recreate the original file structure.
    Also, contrary to my title, i didn't end up having to iterate through a list for the restoration of a list of files.  There would still be a place for someone to do that easily enough by doing an exact match and feeding a list of the files, but for
    what i needed, it worked with the wildcard.
