Re: html browser preview help

[rpd]

Hi Tyler

Thanks for your reply-but your advice doesn't work properly for me (it does
open a browser window but this opens at my homepage & does not preview the
html file/buffer I have open for editing).

This is driving my crazy trying to fix (as I have spent a lot of time today
with this- I even installed w3m & can now view html buffer files with that
BUT that is only a text browser!! I want to see preview in a full browser!).

I have adjusted the code ken-93 gave with his latest advice & when I use it
it opens a blank page Internet Explorer  (I guess I need to add the code
that points to the current file buffer but I do not know how to do that).
Anyway here is this latest defun code:

; Windows explorer to go to the file in the current buffer
(defun browse-file-url-ie (url &optional new-window) 
  "Open the current file, the file associated with the current buffer, 
 in a new IE tab."    
  (interactive "i")  
  (unless 
    (string= "" 
               (shell-command-to-string 
                (concat " start about:blank   'openURL(file://"
buffer-file-name 
")'"))) 
    (message " Opening in IE new tab: " buffer-file-name)))
(setq browse-url-browser-function 'browse-file-url-ie)


Please can someone give me more help to fix this? I look forward to helpful
replies, thanks
