HTML reader or other means to read HTML files in browser?
On my old XP computer I had a default that easily allowed any HTML files to display as intended. On my Windows 8.1 laptop I can't find any option to do this. Will "Scratchpad" let me display html files? I have seen the online readers which are fine for text; but if images are included with the html file folder, it is very nice to have them show up on the page, which is linked to the images in the folder.
I don't really want to go out and download software for this purpose if I'm missing something in my current system?
thanks

Are these some HTML files that you saved on your computer? Firefox can display locally saved HTML files, but depending on how the pages were saved, some elements may be missing. There also are some security restrictions that Firefox applies to local files in a different way than pages on the web. Still, it's worth a try. Normally, double-clicking the file will launch it in your default browser. If there are problems with the display, could you describe them in more detail?
The folder is unzipped now...it is an art tutorial folder....and maybe I did the wrong thing by asking my Wordpad to be the opener of the text file. That is written as HTML. Each time I click it, all I get is the raw HTML on a wordpad document. Maybe I should try downloading the zipped file again? I have another one that is in PDF format, that is no problem at all! It's the one with that non-PDF text file that's giving me headaches...
[EDIT] Never mind, I found it! The change to Wordpad did no harm. I right clicked on that file and sure enough, it shows Firefox as the first option! I don't know how I missed it before. But when I chose that, the file opened just fine in the browser.
All is well now! Thanks! ----- rosebud

The Scratchpad only shows the page source similar to "(Web) Developer -> Page Source" and doesn't render content. You need to open the file in a browser window if you want to render the content. You can open files that way via "File > Open File" or "Open File" in the "3-bar" Firefox menu button drop-down list or by dragging the file in a Firefox window or with a double-click in Windows Explorer if Firefox is set as the default browser.
