My pal James Dempsey from The Graphic Mac popped into my thread about this over at MacTech's forum and offered the following solution:

Quote:
Follow the steps as stated in the first link. When you paste the code into TextEdit, make sure you go under the Format menu and choose Make Plain Text (Command + Shift + T). Now go to the Save As dialog box, make sure that just below the file list the dropdown menu "Plain Text Encoding" has Unicode (UTF-8) selected. Name your file and add .html as the extension.

That should work for you. The key is making sure it is a Plain Text file before saving


For practically ever, I've had TextEdit's preferences set to create all new documents in *.rtf (Rich Text Format). Command + Shift + T on the selected text makes the document Plain Text, and makes it work.

Thanks to those here who participated...and help me thank James for getting it sussed by taking a jump over to his The Graphic Mac blog for "Tips, reviews & more on all things OSX & graphic design."
