When I double-click on an HTML file on the desktop, Claris Home Page isn't opened, the browser is. (Windows only)
On Windows, only one application is allowed to be the default viewer for a given file extension. In this case, the browser is the default viewer for HTML files, so it is opened when you click on an HTML file. To open an HTML file in Claris Home Page, drag the file itself (not a shortcut) to the Claris Home Page icon, or start Claris Home Page directly, and choose Open from the File menu. You can also change the association of the file type-see your Windows documentation for more details.
When I open an HTML document that wasn't created in Claris Home Page, it contains mysterious fragments of red text.
If a file contains incorrect HTML code, Claris Home Page displays the incorrect codes in red. This often occurs with files created in a text editor-browser applications are relatively tolerant of HTML errors, so you might not be aware of the error until you open the file in Claris Home Page. To correct the problem, simply delete the red text.
This problem can also occur for files that make use of HTML extensions not supported by Claris Home Page, such as blinking text. If you open a file that contains blinking text in Claris Home Page, the tags <BLINK> and </BLINK> appear on either side of the blinking text. If you delete the BLINK tags, the text will no longer blink when it appears in a browser.
When Claris Home Page displays red HTML code in your document, this is due to the use of HTML extensions (which should not be deleted) or errors in the HTML file (which should be deleted). If you are unsure, try making a copy of the file, removing the questionable code, and viewing the resulting file in a browser application. If removing the questionable code does not change the document's appearance in a browser, then you can safely delete it.
When I open an HTML document that wasn't created in Claris Home Page, some of the HTML does not display correctly (blinking text, Java applets, browser plug-ins, etc.).
HTML is a rapidly evolving standard, and is constantly being extended. Claris Home Page does not support every HTML extension that has been proposed. If your document uses an extension to HTML that is not supported by Claris Home Page, it may not appear correctly in Claris Home Page. This is usually indicated by the appearance of the unknown HTML codes in red. This does not affect the appearance of the document in a browser; it only affects the appearance within Claris Home Page itself. To get a better feel for how the document will appear in a browser, use Preview in Browser mode.
