    I use Hostgator and just create a file using File Magager in the cpanel. I used the WYSIWYG editor to make a link and it is working fine with IE but when you use firefox all it shows is the HTML code. I am a total newbie and just want to make links on a page where people can click. Here is the code:

    <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
    <html>
    <head>
    <title></title>
    </head>
    <body>
    <p align="center"><font size="7"><a href="http://secure.hostgator.com/cgi-bin/affiliates/clickthru.cgi?id=chingo">Hostgator</a></font></p>
    </body>
    </html>

    Nothing is wrong.
    Try it: start <a> tag in new line I mean: 
    
<a href="http://secure.hostgator.com/cgi-bin/affiliates/clickthru.cgi?id=chingo">Hostgator</a>
    Code (markup):
    see what happens.

    The file name is hostgator. I changed it to hostgator.html and it now works with both. Only problem is my link looks like this mydomain.com/hostgator.html and I want it to just be mydomain.com/hostgator.
    Am I stuck with it showing as .html?

    you can make hostgator a directory and put the file as index.html in that directory then when you type mydomain.com/hostgator it will look for that directory and load the default index.html file
