I have a site and i have to do a little change in the html (change the tracking code for Google analytics), but after i change that code (using the browser), the page changes back like in the begging after reloading it. In other words how can i modify the html of a page from the browser?

If you need additional information please add a request and i will put them asap. In this field i really am a rookie, so sorry if what i said is confusing.

thank you in advance, i wait for your answers
good answers, thanks. The host is providing me 2 online editors, one graphical (present one) and one only html, but i am not able to make it in html. You enlightened me with your answers, i know now that this is not the way...
ok, thanks again fellas
 
While you can modify your own copy of a web page using the browser or a browser extension, this change is not communicated to the copy being served. You need to modify the copy of the page that is on the web server itself, not the copy you downloaded to cache by viewing it in the web browser. This is what a text editor is for.

(Imagine if any Yahoo could come along and edit your web pages using the browser!)
 
You can't edit from your browser.
You need an external editor. Or your host might provide an editor.
If your host is providing you an editor, so you can edit online. If that's the case, then contact your Host and tell them whats going on.
