What are you expecting it to show? A hat with a rabbit being
pulled out of it?

What do you mean "just shows the html file"? Why is this not
exactly what you want so that you can dive in and change the text
in it?

Anyway... don't use textEdit at all for this. Get TextWrangler
(it is a free text editor and excellent for editing html and css
plain text files)

If you want help around here, it helps to post a url, even one
with a sad and pathetic attempt at a site. They shun you like the
plague without one.
