Whats the diff. between .htm and .html

They'll, work.

HTML files are supposed to be named .html but since Windows3.1 can't handle more than three chars after the dot they are named .htm in Windows3.1.

The .htm has somehow become widely used in Windows95 and Unix worlds, probably because it's easier to name all files .htm than some .htm and some .html.

Thanks. I'll give you the points if you want them.

The only thing to be careful about is that some servers require the index page to be html, all others can be either.

Also, i believe that the .htm is more widely accepted across browsers.

Thank you all for the comments. I've tested the .html extension and it works fine for me. I'll be careful setting up the index page.

martinag- Maybe you should bring this thread to Linda's attention.

Why?

tyroneb offered you the points and then netwiz15 gave the same answer you did.  Apparently  tyroneb didn't notice the different name.  Linda has sent other experts who do this emails expressing disapproval and awarded points for the original answer.  Of course its up to you.  You don't seem to care about points much, but you might care about the behavior.

You could be right. I'll notify Linda and we'll see what she thinks about this.
