I am using beta 3.0.6 of Elements. I created a page with the accordion component. I added text to the title and text areas. Now, when I preview in a browser, I get an index.() folder downloading in Safari. This just hangs at this point. I can open the index file with textedit and see the title.

Hi @pwepplo,

Sounds like the file name might be incorrect, can you check the page inspector and make sure the filename is set to index.html?

Try that and let me know how you get on.

That was it, thank you.
