Dreamweaver - filenames

Hello Emma

Hope you enjoyed your DreamWeaver training with BEST STL yesterday.

Thank you for your question regarding HTML file extensions.

The short answer is that these days there is very little difference. Either one will work.

The technical reason is that the three letter extension was due to Windows 8.3 filenaming convention used in DOS because it could not understand 4 letter extensions or long filenames. html is the proper extension and should always try to use this instead of htm.


If you want some more detail on this, read through the following:

Hope that answers your question.
