Hi

For me TextEdit behaves exactly as it does for you. It will display the
..html file as if it were in a browser window.

I think you will find that TextWrangler behaves as you wish. As it
happens I use the "pay for" version of TextWrangler which is BBEdit,
and this is a very capable text editor indeed with many useful extras
for HTML creation but it is quite pricey for a text editor.
