text: what is the difference between an htm or an html page? hi, i use frontpage 03 to edit my site here on yahoo.  i'm just confused because there are both htm and html pages created.  i'm not sure if/when i was given the option of which to make.  the "site" stored in my documents has index.htm as it's home page, and the real website, or remote site as they call it, has it's homepage as index.html. but, on the remote site there is also an index.htm which seems to be linked or synced (sp?) to the homepage, index.htm, on my "site" which is in my documents.   so i just deleted the index.htm off the remote site because i thought maybe it's not supposed to be there and i must have mistakenly made it.     had i only come here first and asked, because i have faith in the yahoo answers community that we can get this problem resolved.  any answer is appreciated!!! thanks the only difference is the name.  dos only allows 8.3 filenames, so most extensions are kept to three letters for compatibility with old computers.  but the name of the "default page" has to be the exact name of the file.... doesn't matter whether you use .htm or .html, but be consistent.
