"program" written in html/javascript

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??
 
I mean java apps can run independent of a browser, they just need the VM installed, what exactly are you trying to do?
 
There's no need to change the file extension. Just open the local file in your browser and it should work. This is not Highly Technical.
 
Well, 'HTML' is *not* a programming language (no moreso than, say, MS Word documents are a programming language). Javascript is a scripting language built on top of HTML, which can be used to tell a supporting browser to do various things.

By definition, you need something (ie, a web browser) to interpret an HTML or HTML/Javascript file. Your OS only knows how to run executable files, which they are not. There's no way to 'run' an HTML file without a browser.

Java programs also need an interpreter (a Java Virtual Machine), unless one is built into the OS.
