I look after several websites, some of which were written over 5 years ago. The older pages have the ".html" extension, and the newer pages that I have created (using Expression Web 2 and Dreamweaver) have the ".htm" extension.

On many sites, if you typed .htm and the file has .html, the server will give you the correct page back (or vice versa)- unless there was both a .htm and a .html with the same name of course!

I know that my server certainly does (For tech heads out there, it's Apache 1.3 - and it uses a server code of 301 (Moved Permanently) to implement the change automatically as far as the end-user is concerned)

As Leo says, it's all in how the site's server has been configured.

.JPG and .JPEG should be the same. Just in the old "DOS" days people had to use a 8.3 filename system, people could not use more then 3 letters after the period. Also I believe that why there is .html and .htm.

If *.html and *.htm are the same what about graphic files labelled as *.jpg and *.jpeg? I have graphic files with both these extensions.

Yes, .jpg and .jpeg are usually the same thing.
