"program" written in html/javascript

[dominicanpapi82]

So I KNOW a lot of programmers don't consider html and javascript to be a programming language. However, I know it is possible to write a page in html/javascript code, and then change the .htm or .html extension to something else that will let it run on your computer as if it were a program, independent of a browser. Does anyone know what that extension you change the .htm to is??

Try the highly technical forum. Here we're mostly about hardware and OS problems, not programming.

SOFTWARE - APPS, PROGRAMMING AND GAMES is where this post should go. Highly technical is not the place for this type of question

could you be talking about running a java applet without a browser?

Yeah, you're right. I wasn't thinking.
