CodePudding user response：

localhost refused to connect.

is an error message that typically appears when there is a problem with the connection between Visual Studio Code (VSCode) and the localhost server. This can happen for a number of reasons, but some common causes include:

The localhost server is not running or is not configured properly.
There is a problem with the network connection, such as a firewall blocking the connection.
There is an issue with the code or configuration of the HTML file in VSCode.

To troubleshoot this issue, you can try the following steps:

Check that the localhost server is running and configured correctly.
Check your network connection and ensure that any firewalls or antivirus software are not blocking the connection.
Check your HTML code and configuration in VSCode to ensure that there are no syntax errors or other issues that might be causing the problem.
Make sure that the chrome browser is in the updated version.
Check the port number if it is configured correctly in your code, if not change it to the correct port number.
Open your .html file by double-clicking on it from your file browser or right click context menu and then open with option, choose a browser option.
Use Live Server VS Code Extension or BrowserSync Extenstion.

If the problem persists, you can also try running the HTML file in a different browser or using a different localhost server to see if that resolves the issue.
