@kirupa when you are doing the regular coding video tutorials. You can install a vs code plugin called live server to not to have to refresh the html page for each file update manually. ---

That’s a great point! I’ll configure that the next time around 🙂 ---

You can install a vs code plugin called live server to not to have to refresh the html page for each file update manually. @Wayne - I tried the [Live Preview plugin](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=ms-vscode.live-server) today. Is this the one you are referring to? ---

@Wayne - I used it today, and it worked perfectly! Thanks for the suggestion 😛 (I broke this out of the earlier topic to keep it easily findable!) ---

Another vote for Live Server. I download it via NPM every time I reformat a Windows machine. The support for VS Code is gravy on top. I’m blown away at how well M$ has done with VS Code, quickly becoming my favorite editor over Atom or Notepad++. ---

I tried the Live Reload plug-in that MS makes, and that turned out to be inconsistent in reloading the page when changes were made. Live Server was perfect! @VaiFanatic - completely unrelated, I just noticed that you are in Gulf Breeze! My parents lived in Spanish Fort for a very long time, and we would all go to Pensacola and Gulf Breeze every time I would be back to visit! 🏖 ---

What a small world!! I spend most of my in San Antonio, TX, these days, but I eventually hope to get back to NWFL soon. My wife’s family is here and as are my own parents, so it’ll probably be a vacation home built on some property I own that we can head out to at our leisure. I do miss it an awful lot out there, it’s my hometown, after all.
