hey PSandhu  
this is the wrong forum for this question, try posting in the scripting forums. this thread will probably be moved there by the time i push enter though.

also, i don’t know how to fix your problem. sorry ☹

well, don’t u save it as a file like… \*.html or htm? If you reinstall, just open the file again, nothinig will be lost, and if you configured something…u should remember them, other than that, u’ll have all the files.

go to Edit, preferences, then choose the previewing in browser tab and make sure it says internet explorer when you press f12, if not you can press the + tab and input any browser you want to preview the html file in, you can have more than one browser to preview your website :beam:

that could be the problem, but not showing up may not get solved by this. 🙂
