Set the page filename index to index.html.Quote:

He said that .htm is a very old format going back to the DOS days and many browsers will have problems with it.
To be honest, I've never experienced any problems.
What do you think?
It does represent when windows could only have 3 letter file extensions.
If a site has two index files, index.htm and index.html the brower will always open the index.html file, even if the index.htm is newer. So for that reason alone it is better to use .html Frequently people update their existing sites in Xara and then can't see the changes. Because their old files have html extensions.
Other than that I am certainly not aware of any browsers having problems with .htm files. And you might remind your customer that Windows computers outnumber Mac computers by about 10 to 1.
;)) Thanks, Gary.Quote:

Xara serves up static HTML that can be run from anywhere. So if you have a very old system that uses 8.3 format then the HTM suffix is safer.
This covers embedded code in firmware on older microprocessors (these still exist).
The trick is not to mix and match.
I only ever use HTML extensions when a client insists. Modern OSs, browsers, SEO and servers don't care.
