Why has my index.html file disappeared from my workspace when I have saved it every time I have used it?

File regularly saved but now disappeared. No idea how or why. Help?!

It's happening every time in my browser too. Don't worry, While in your workspace Just remove the # tag from the address bar of your browser and reload the page.

Glad its sorted you've done exactly what I was going to suggest to get you back up and running,

plus I would not even like to try and explain why the file has gone missing or how .....

Small Tip if you new on the forum Tagging is a great way to get to the teachers directly if your struggling to get the answer your looking for , simply put @ before their name with no space, works a treat!

Most of the time someone on here will know the know the answer pretty quick though,

good look !!

Hi Craig

I had to download the project files and steal the index.html from there and modify it to get back to where I was.

I had saved the workspace files and then put the laptop (MBPro/Google Chrome) to sleep.

Index.html was missing afterwards.

Thanks
