Marie Shanahan on 04 Feb 09What's the difference between naming an HTML file with .html or .htm? Both work, right?

Alex Halavais on 04 Feb 09HTML is the "correct" choice, though .htm will also work. The latter is a result of limitations of the early DOS & Windows systems, which could only handle 3 letter extensions (and 8 letter filenames). Why is it still used today? Microsoft continues to push it as a feature, not a bug, and those using MS servers or ASP are more likely to use it, unless, of course, it is a .asp page. But the standard usage is still .html.
