Here's the part of your HTML with the curly quotes:

<img src=“file:///Users/rhysdavies/Desktop/htmlweb/gflogov.jpg" alt=“logo” width="128" height="128">​


I've changed your posted text to a very large font, to make it easier to see the kinds of quotes. The quote before "file:" is curly, as are the ones around "logo".

As a side note, you might find a more code orientated text editor helpful. Text Edit can do things that would be helpful if you were word processing, but problematic if you're coding. Some popular ones are:

https://www.sublimetext.com
http://small.syntra.io

Good luck!

I disagree. It's just different and unfamiliar if all you're used to is Windows. Embrace the learning experience and you'll have some fun. A lot of stuff is much better and almost always more intuitive in macOS (IMHO).

Remember you'd (probably) not code HTML using Word on Windows, in the same way you'd (probably) not use TextEdit on the Mac. In either case, you'd at least need a decent text editor. I believe Sublime in particular is used on both platforms. This isn't a macOS vs Windows thing, it's a picking the right tool for the job thing. ;-)

Glad you have it sorted... when posting code... it is often better to use a dedicated service such as:
  1. JS Bin ( https://jsbin.com/?html,output )
  2. JSFiddle ( https://jsfiddle.net/ )
  3. Cloud9 ( https://c9.io/ )
There are many other. I prefer JS Bin for simple code sharing. For example, your code:
https://jsbin.com/bayomubiga/edit?html,output

In general, I agree with superscape's response, though in this case Apple has done you a bit of a disservice.

Windows still ships with 2 editing utilities, a light weight wordprocessor named WordPad and a true text editor named Notepad. Apple, on the other hand, only provides a basic word processor with the macOS and they give it a rather inappropriate name "TextEdit".

TextEdit, like WordPad but unlike Notepad, is a poor tool for coding. On Windows, Notepad is a solid reliable tool for such use but very very basic. On both OSs, I would recommend getting something else. On Windows, Notepad++ is a good lightweight tool. On macOS, I find BBedit a good choice.
