MS Office Forum / Publisher / Web Design / June 2005How do I preview my web page in the correct browser?
When I hit preview web page, for some reason it launches my windows media player. How do I get it to preview in Internet Explorer...THANKS!! Kevin, Perhaps you can try this. Save your HTML files to a older on your hard drive where you can find them. Open Windows Explorer and browse to and select your index.html file. Right click the file > Open With - Choose Program > select Internet Explorer and tick the box 'Always use the selected program to open this kind of file'.

Whoops...probably will work better if you save to a 'folder', not an 'older'...that's my excuse, and I am sticking to it. DavidF > Kevin, Perhaps you can try this.

How do I get it to preview in Internet Explorer...THANKS!! Thanks for the reply. If I save as an .html file that will work fine, but my real question is why when i hit "preview your web site" on the left hand margin, it is sent to windows media player instead of internet explorer. I am assuming this is a preference or option inside publisher where you can choose what program previews the site. If I save as a .pub file it will open up in publisher, if I save as an .html file I'm sure it will open up in Internet explorer, but for some reason when i hit preview inside the publisher program it goes to Windows Media Player. Hopefully you know what I am talking about....Thanks again for the help. The point is that somehow you have changed the file association for index.html to open in the media player. The instructions I gave should change the association back to IE. Did you actually try the instructions? DavidF > Thanks for the reply.

Another test you can do is once you generate your html files, and save them to your hard drive, and browse to the index.html file, then try double clicking on that file and see what program opens it. If it is the Media Player, then my suspicions about the file association is correct. Your web preview is supposed to open with your default browser. Are you using a different browser such as Firefox? If so you may need to set IE as your default browser. Let us know if it works out...

David- I didn't understand what you were trying to say at first and that was due to a lack of knowledge/experience on my part. Your solution worked perfectly. It was a file association issue, because I used Internet Explorer as my default browser. Any ideas on what may have caused a changed for .pub or .html files?? Thanks again for the time.... > Another test you can do is once you generate your html files, and save them > to your hard drive, and browse to the index.html file, then try double [quoted text clipped - 31 lines] > > > it goes to Windows Media Player.

I don't know, but perhaps you recently downloaded and installed a new version of the Media Player, and in the process it became the default app for html files. Just glad the solution worked...
