Hi Every One

I Am Rookie In Web Design ! So Ignore My Foolishness

I SEE Other Web pages like google or other pages in html

But Why Is ORKUT in .aspx

Is it releated to security?ASP.NET server-side programming. HTML cannot communicate with a web server. PHP or ASP can.Can u pls Explain In brief That .aspx file is outputting HTML. It has to because that's all the browser understands.
