Will,
TextEdit displays text. If you saw your HTML file as it would be
rendered in a Web browser, then it wasn't TextEdit that showed it to
you.

TextEdit can do the job you want it to do (edit HTML source) but as
others have said, TextWrangler is free and is much nicer to use for
editing HTML source than plain ol' TextEdit.

Happy coding
