What is the programming language for sites that have extensions other than programming languages (IE:.php,.cfm,.html)

[dezell123]

Like for Juno,they have an extension of .juno instead of a regular .HTML, what programming language is this done in? It seems rrather intresting

First off...

html isn't a programming language, and the extension is arbitrary. You simply need to associate the appropriate extension to a given mime type in the server you're using. In IIS, it's quite easy.

So, you could have all your extensions be .dezell if you wanted, it'll still be a content type of text/html, thus it'll be rendered as html.

I would still consider HTML a language though... its just that you don't need the .htm or .html for it to run properly.

Sure, html is a "language", but not a "programming language"

 

[HardcoreRobot]

html is more a "formatting" "language" than a "programming" "language"

Exactly, hence hypertext *markup* language

At any rate, it's horrible, and the world would be much better w/o it.

The world would be better off without HTML?

What would you suggest?

ALL Flash and ASP would make me very happy

But of course you need HTML to incorporate Flash and ASP into pages.. so...

The &quot;next HTML&quot;, known as XHTML will clear up many of the anamolies in today's HTML. I can't suggest a replacement, as the ubiquity of browsers that render HTML makes it a necessity, at least now.

My preferences lie in different areas, but I still have to accomodate our web end-users.
