Whats the difference .htm, .html ??

[jonMEGA]

Is there any difference between .htm or .html webpages besides the L ?

same question with .mpg and .mpeg

Thanks,

No difference AFAIK

both are relics from the pre-long file name days. .html and .mpeg are what the files really are - but with 8.3 naming, they had to be shortened to htm and mpg.

MS OS'es used to be stuck in the 8.3-format. meaning: filename was 8 characters, and file-extension 3 characters. So they couldnt use the extension html, so they shortened it to htm. I believe frontpage and others still default to htm.

my computer running 3x cant view html only htm, so you should make a page htm if you are making one.

3x? Windows 3.1? It can't view .html-files? Talk about screwed up 😕. Have you considered upgrading?

MS should rather fix their software in such way that it works. Others shouldn't adjust their ways just because MS-os can't understand 4 letter file-extensions (which IS pretty damn lame!). It's not like 4 letter file-extensions are proprietary on anything....

Alot of ISP's when you create a web page and use .htm will not display it in there list of user pages but when you use .html it will be displayed.
