A .htc file is an HTML Component file that may be used by web browsers when loading certain websites. It is an active scripting module that provides support for interacting with web components and for building dynamic user interfaces. The.htc file extension is typically used to define the behavior of HyperText Markup Language (HTML) elements for a web page. This type of code allows developers to incorporate interactive features such as animations, form submissions, updating components, and more in a website.
Technical Details
The .htc file format uses JavaScript or the Microsoft-developed Dynamic HTML (DHTML) language. Depending on the type of web page being displayed, the.htc file will provide instructions and code for defining or redefining HTML tags causing the web browser to modify the appearance or behavior of the web page accordingly.
Similar types of files include .hta, xc,.js, and .jse, all of which may contain extensive codes which denote behaviour and other properties of an element within a web page. Developers can use files such as these with integrated development environments like Microsoft's Visual Studio or 3rd-party tools like SpeedXML.
Programs for WINDOWS system
After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .HTC) with the new application. If this does not happen, we can help the system a bit by selecting the software for it, which it should always use to open files with the .HTC extension.
When choosing the software we can select the system to use this software every time.
Remember!
Using it for the first time it is good to check whether the .HTC file opened in the application can be read by us and opens in a way that allows us to use it. If everything is in order, select this option the next time you open a file with the .HTC extension. However, if the file has not opened correctly, we have to look for a different software, with which we can open files with the .HTC extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .HTC file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .HTC file has not meet your expectations, you can try searching other websites. But remember to avoid downloading programs "that can open any file". These applications not only have very limited functionality, but may also expose you to expense tens of dollars when purchasing a license.
In the vast majority of cases you will find the program dedicated to support the .HTC file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .HTC file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .HTC file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
