$message = "Select the HTML file you want to edit"
$filePath = FileOpenDialog($message, "", "HTML Files(*.htm;*.html)")

If @error Then

you won't see a popup using fileopen() - you need to open the file for reading first, put the contents

in a variable, close the filehandle, make your edits, then write the file back out..

ie

;get filehandle for reading in file
$fh = FileOpen($filename,0)
;get contents of file
$contents = FileRead($fh,FileGetSize($filename))

fileclose($fh)
;do stuff to $contents
;write out new file
