This isn’t an HTML forum, so you’ve probably asked in the wrong place .

Best guess: after saving the file in Notepad++, you need to reload in your browser (if your browser is pointed at the local file, with a file:// URL), or you forgot to upload to your file to your server (if your browser is pointed at an https:// URL).

If you really believe the problem lies with Notepad++, and not with the browser refresh or having to upload the file, then you are going to have to explain why you think it’s Notepad++ that’s going wrong, and give us more info .

(Please see the two FAQ answers linked above… they provide details as to why you’ve asked in the wrong place, and what kinds of information are useful when you are asking us for help.)
