CHAPTER

Getting Started with HTML 2

Can I name my file anything I want?

The Web is much more restrictive on filenames than

your operating system. The most important thing to

remember is that your filename absolutely cannot

contain spaces. It should also begin with a letter,

and should not contain any characters other than

letters, numbers, dashes, and underscores.

Is there a difference between the .html and .htm

extensions?

No. Either will work in all browsers on all computers.

The only important thing is that you make sure that

you are consistent within a site, because you do not

want some files to have an .html extension while

others have .htm.

The dialog box closes, and
the file is saved.

4 Type .html as the file
extension.

5 Click Save.
