It depends on what you mean by "split the screen." If you want one
window that has vim running in the bottom half and an HTML browser
running in another, you will have to look for some other program that
can embed both. If you are content with [g]vim and a browser running in
separate windows, it should not be hard (depending on your OS) to have
vim save the current version and send the browser a command to re-load
the file.
