For those new to the list, seems there has been an influx. Check out these coding guidelines. It is really worth the read. http://www.corfield.org/coldfusion/codingStandards.htm

Tony is having fun today. Seans Code Guidelines (very highly recommended) state you should name all html files with the .html file extension and not .htm. And .htm is exactly what Sean has named his guideline page. But don't let that keep anyone from checking those guidelines out.

thats cool man, i was just feel a little liotta-ish :) someone has to be there for you sean! a thought i had today when a young woman who waited on me and some of my colleagues at a pizza hut decided that the most important thing in the world at that moment was what type of drink i wanted and for some reason, i had an epiphany... you cannot have a battle of the minds with the unarmed... as she asked me to decide what beverage i wanted its was like i went out for a minute of time...and in that forever of an instant i had the opportunity to think about all the in depth stuff we all think about all day long coding our freakin hearts out and man, what a sharp bunch you all are...and its like the bar is sooo very high when reading and enjoying this list and the coding that we do along with it...and then we are faced with the grim reality of the general public and wow, what a world of difference. we are making the decisions that are truly shaping the web world and the world of the web we are creating.  its pretty amazing, and the dichotomy of my day really struck me... code on my fellow cfcoders...code on. mu On Tuesday, May 20, 2003, at 12:51 US/Pacific, Tony Weeg wrote: > File Naming > the url of the website I got this from :) > http://www.corfield.org/coldfusion/codingStandards.htm That's because the coding guidelines are for ColdFusion and my site's written in PHP :) You have a point - I should be more consistent.

Yes, they are in my opinion good guidelines.  It is always good to remember that outside of Flash and similar things we are generating good old html in many cases (or that is what the browser thinks).  Devils are often lurking around.

I think consistency is the key. Having said that .HTM is a abbreviation and its always best not to use abbreviations where possible. (As a rule of thumb) Maybe there are some other reasons but I can't think of any. Thanks At 07:26 PM 5/20/03 -0700, Sean A Corfield wrote: >You have a point - I should be more consistent.

I know that it hardly applies these days... but was the HTM extension not used for the 8.3 file naming format...? To be honest I prefer HTM and have always coded HTM.... looks better in the address bar.... hehehehe DC I think consistency is the key.

So what extensions aren't abbreviations? I think consistency is the key. Having said that .HTM is a abbreviation and its always best not to use abbreviations where possible.

Well of course all extensions are abbreviations but what I meant was HTM is an abbreviation of HTML. ;) ...well there is one I can thing of .LOG! :oP Ta So what extensions aren't abbreviations?
