If all you're looking for is a way to open your regular Web browser on an HTML file, from within Emacs, and if you are on Windows, see w32-browser.el. http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/w32-browser.el E.g. in Dired, mouse-2 on a file foo.html will open it in your normal Web browser (not in Emacs). That assumes that your Windows file associations associate your Web browser with the Open action for file type HTML. If you are visiting an HTML file in Emacs, and you want to open it in your browser, then use (w32-browser (buffer-file-name)) or `M-x w32-browser'. (You will of course need to save the buffer first, since your browser uses the disk file.) If this is not related to what you're asking for, sorry for the noise - hopefully someone else can help. > 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).
