File extension .STM

| HTML Server Side Include Format | Microsoft | Web Files |
The STM file extension is used for the server side include (SSI) file format. The STM file format was created by Netscape Communications Corporation for use in their web server software as an alternative to HTML files. STM files allow webmasters to insert snippets of code into the page without writing the markup and refreshing the page each time they make a change.
STM files are a very simple format, consisting of text and HTML code. They are easily editable in any text editor, such as Notepad++. Files with this extension are usually assigned a “text/html” MIME type, although some systems may assign a different MIME type depending on how it is used. Many web servers can recognize and execute STM files on the server side so that viewers are not aware that they are being delivered a side-included file.
Similar File Extensions
Common similar file extensions include: INC, SSI, JSP, ASP, ASM, and CFM.
Programs for WINDOWS system
After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .STM) 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 .STM 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 .STM 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 .STM 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 .STM extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .STM file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .STM 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 .STM file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .STM file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .STM file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
