You shouldn't have to download Java, unless you are writing Java code that is. Why are you using Textpad, though? From what I'm seeing on its website, its just like Notepad.

I used notepad for the first several years of my HTML life, and did until only 2 or 3 weeks ago when I accquired DreamWeaver.

I just think you are making your life harder by using the Textpad thing.

yeah, I would stick with something simple like notepad to start, because it has NO features to confuse you. Also, HTML files cannot be "run" per se, as they dont "do" anything. Once you save your file (with the extension .html, by the way), try and open it with Internet Explorer, or the web browser of your choice.

a simple "hello world" html file would look like this, in case you are having any mistakes:

<html>
<head>
<title>Hello World!</title>
</head>
<body>


Hello World!</p>
</body>
</html>
