aspx extensions??

Saint Fool · Jan 27, 2009

I am so computer ignorant.

When I went on to the net this am using Firefox, 10 files were downloaded with the aspx extention: a(1).aspx through a(10).aspx. This does not happen when I'm using my Netscape browser. (Snicker all you like. It works for 90 percent of my browsing and is usually faster than Firefox.)

Are these downloads OK? Or should I removed them from the file? Provider is bellsouth.net.

Any help, advice would be appreciated. Thanks.

They're just web pages.

aspx are Active Server Page Extension files. They're script/programs that run on your PC (client-side), usually associated with certain web forms, or small applications (such as installation, etc.) It's part of the current web architecture and are downloaded with the sites you visit. You can delete them if you want, but they will be downloaded again when you visit those websites again.

I haven't programmed ASP in awhile, so unless something's changed, I don't think they run client side (which is why the S stands for Server).

Correct. They run on the server primarily but emit quite a bit of javascript (client-side) to do ajaxy stuff.

Thanks all. I'd never seen them before so I was curious. Ajaxy stuff?

Short for Asyncronous Javascript and XML. Basically, it let's a web page load content and act more like a desktop application without a long load time. Most of the time you don't even know it's there but you're definitely benefiting from it when you're using many, many sites.

Thats my next venture, Ajax. I'm a pro coldfusion guy for dynamic web pages, and the ajax app that's been added to Coldfusion 8 is killer. I'd like to take a huge VB project at work and upgrade it to a web app.

<2cents>I'd like to see a little more plain, usable HTML and CSS, with content instead of fancy gimmicks

Does Netscape still have browser...what version are you running? The last version that I ever dealt with didn't support asp or ajax...which is why you're probably seeing a difference.

I'm not much of a fan of asp...but it's pretty popular.

Tirjasdyn - Netscape 7.1. It's the last browser they put out that was compatable with Windows 98 ... Why yes, I do have an ancient computer and software. Thanks for asking.

Apparently, the aspx files only appear when I I've clicked a link that doesn't display on Netscape and then switch over to Firefox to find the page (while Netscape is still running). If I choose Firefox as the start-up browser, the aspx files aren't downloaded.

Tis a mystery.
