There is great difference between .htm and .html extensions. Everyone think there is no difference but something is hide here. Acutally I don't know more but one thing is ....Using DOS we can't give more than 3 letter/character extension and when we execute the file from DOS we can't execute the file if it's extension contains more than 3 characters. So we use .htm in earlier time. But nowadays all systems support .html extension. In preferred to use .htm extension not .html because .htm is supported either old systems and modern systems.

What is the extension of HTML documents?

The most commonly used extension for an HTML document is ".html" but ".htm" is still used (it's a carry-over from the days when Windows would only allow 3 characters in an extension.)While this is useful for associating the files with registered programs in Windows, the extensions aren't strictly necessary. Browsers render live HTML pages using the information provided by the web server when it sends headers (particularly the MIME type) to determine how the data should be treated. Otherwise, all web addresses would end in ".html"
