17. 17 Before starting 1. Please use Firefox or Chrome for today’s exercises. 2. Open up Control Panel in your PC. Within Control Panel search for “Folder Options”.

This is to avoid problems with naming or re-naming the file extension (ex..txt,.doc,.htm,.html, etc.):

19. 19 Troubleshooting When saving the template files in Internet Explorer, they will be named.htm by default. To be consistent with how the code was written in the template, you must rename the file extension:.html or else the links in your navigation bar will not work. Our current recommendation is to save the files from Mozilla Firefox or Chrome in order to avoid this issue. Firefox saves the files as.html by default.
