When making a site, what is the difference between .htm and .html? Which one should I use for saving code in notepad for example?

Orcmonkey,

When some members reccomended that I go to HTMLGODDIES to learn the basics. I read that those extensions where realavent to the version of OS you were running. I think it was .HTM for windows 95 or below and .HTML for 98 and above. HTH

Orcmonkey,

It's a little different: Win 3.x you use .HTM becuase you can only place three characters after the dot. MAC/Win95/98 or above you use .HTML because it you can use up to four or more characters after the dot. HTH
