getting web page to show

On the workspace sidebar I have 2 files. Index.html & untitled.html. I have entered Nick's code on the index.html page to the right of the sidebar (the white area w/line numbers down left side), but when I go to the file tab at the top & click on 'preview workspace' all I get is a blank page, no preview. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong? I don't know if I'm using the correct terminology to be understandable. I hope I am. .

Did you save the workspace? If there is an orange circle on the tab with the title of the file your editing, that means the file has not yet been saved. You can use the Ctrl-Alt-S (Command-Option-S for Mac) shortcut to save all the files in the current workspace. After that, refresh the preview page and you should see the most recent changes applied. =)

Misha is right. You have to save the file in order to see the preview. Let us know if that did or didn't do the trick.
