8,712 PointsI don't understand what you mean by "My name" and "byname". Those are 2 different texts? Can you elaborate on this?

4,410 PointsI have the same problem on mac. Let me try to better summarize OP's question. In the video we have to type <h1 >My Name</h1> into workspace. However, when I click preview (the eye icon), it gives me a preview of the code I typed (in this case "<h 1>My Name</h1 >") instead of the formatted title header that shows in the video)
Note; I had to add spaces in the brackets, so I know this is an error

Can you post a snapshot of your workspace? I can try forking it and see if I get the same error, although I'm on windows.
What browser are you using and have you tried another one?

Courses Plus Student 94,610 PointsHi Daniel,
Are you saying that you see the actual html instead of the result of the html?
You can post a snapshot of your workspace if you like and that might make it easier to troubleshoot your problem.
