Hello,
I recently purchased a website, as a bit of an experiment. Oh of course they told me it would be easy and I don't doubt that it is but I'm someone who is proud of sending a successful email and as such am being sent slowly mad by the whole thing.
I will list my problems below, if anyone can help, please do. Just remember that I'm not the brightest on technological matters. I really do want to be patronised.
1. I download the templates which open in my firefox browser as the finished article rather than just the html. Why? Who the hell asked them to?
2. I need to change a bit of code in all the pages. I've been getting the source code and copying and pasting it into notepad, doing it page by page. The instructions state that I should be able to use my search and replace tool but it doesn't find the relevant bits or replace them.
3. I then upload a page and it's wrong! Bits of code here and there suggesting the html is wrong. Yet it works fine when downloaded.
All I want is the downloaded files to open in an editable format, wallop the relevant bits into search and replace, then upload them. Why is the technology defying me?
Idiot-proof answers please.

You aren't telling us very much here, so trying to analyse your problem is... er, problematic.
What are you trying to do? What software are you using? What are the templates for? Firefox had an add-on that enables you to alter cascading style sheets on the fly and see the effect immediately in the browser window.
Not that I'm an expert, but if it's Wordpress, I have managed to make some headway with mine.
I think the Firefox add on you mention might be the very fellow I'm after. What's it called.
I'll get back to the other stuff if need be.
I use a Firefox add-on called 'Web Developer'.

As for opening the templates, have you tried right-clicking and selecting Open with > Notepad?
