which extension do you use for your pages and why


.htm .html or .shtml

[XpressPete]

htm or html both work if you only have the one in the root, not both

[born2bewild]

It's been a habit to always use html for me

[blackbooty]

why is there htm and html?

[HeidiHoe]

I mostly use php. I prefer htm over html, it's less typing. Who still uses shtml? Isn't SSI a thing of the past since most people use php nowadays?

Back in the day htm is what was output by Frontpage. Other than that it was mostly html. I don't know if Frontpage started the htm trend but that's when I first became aware of it.

You remember the times when we used Frontpage98, I loved it over other editors back then.

Frontpage was what I used when I first got online. A tedious pain in the butt. It dirtied up the code when you did edits, wouldn't upload .htaccess files, took forever to update the server when you connected with it.... Shall I go on? LOL. Frontpage gave me incentive to learn how to hand code and it didn't take long until my favorite editor was a plain old notepad.

Yep all the ampersands and junk it used to add. Then I slowly got to notepad, not that i am any good with it lol.

It's always been dot html for me, never used dot htm

The only real difference between htm and html is that there are actually some servers that don't allow more than 3 characters for an extension and need .htm . That's about it..

How do they handle pages with html?

Not sure, I'd guess you'll get an error when trying to upload?

I started out with Frontpage and it was .htm for me back then, now I am all .html

[koster]

HTML is the format I am using but HTM seems more logical
