Preview no directly accessing index.html

Why when I click the preview, i get the project files list and I don't get directly the index.html, I have to select it ? It is not that annoying, but in the video, the index opens: http://gyazo.com/aeb23e5daa2efccfdfc66d0fbe4a303b

make sure you have closed everyone of your tags correctly,

and that the index.html and everything is in the same folder or that ou have specified wich folder everything should be in.

Can you show us your code, so we can try to see what the problem might be.

If you want the index.html code, here is it:

<!DOCTYPE html>

<html> <head> <meta charset="utf-8"> <title>name | Designer</title> <link rel="stylesheet" href="css/normalize.css"> <link href='http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Sue+Ellen+Francisco|Open+Sans:400italic,400,300,700,800' rel='stylesheet' type='text/css'> <link rel="stylesheet" href="css/main.css">

Wrap the <meta>, <title>, and <link> tags at the top with <head> tags to separate the body elements. When previewing your project in workspaces. Click preview then port 80.

In addition to what Jeremy said, I would also recommend placing all the other tags within a <body> tag. Like this:

<!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8"> 
<title>name | Designer</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/normalize.css">
<link href='http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Sue+Ellen+Francisco|Open+Sans:400italic,400,300,700,800' rel='stylesheet' type='text/css'>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/main.css">    
</head>

<body>
<header>
  <a id="logo" href="index.html">
    <h1>name</h1>
    <h2>Designer</h2>
  </a>
  <nav>
    <ul>
      <li><a href="index.html" class="selected">Portfolio</a></li>
      <li><a href="about.html">About</a></li>
      <li><a href="contact.html">Contact</a></li>
    </ul>
  </nav>
