File types...

[BobbaFet]

Can someone please list for me all the file type extensions
for webpages that can be read by notepad. I've done some
research and have found the following:

.htm
.html
.js
.css
.asp

Are there any more that can be added to this list?
I need this for a program that I am designing.

Thanks a lot,

Notepad can read anything, no matter what the extension (though it used to choke on very large files, I don't know if it still does). It won't make much sense if it's a binary file, but notepad will still open it.

... ok rephrasing ...

List all web documents in plain text format.

It still doesn't matter what the extension is. Notepad will open anything you give it. If it happens to be a file in text format, that'll make it a lot easier for you to understand, but notepad doesn't care.

You could write an HTML file, store it on the server as "myfile.exe", configure your server to send it with a "text/html" MIME type and firefox will open it like any other HTML page (IE'll probably get confused by the extension), Notepad will open it without complaint.

Notepad can open anything. If it's in plain text format, that's how Notepad will display it.

Web pages can have any extension you can think of, and Notepad will open them whichever you choose.

If you are instead after a list of popular extensions used for web pages, rather than any that are technically possible (which is everything), then here are a few to help you get started:

HTM, HTML, ASP, ASPX, JSP, PHP, CFM, CGI, FMP (and FM3, FM4, etc).

Note: You have JS and CSS - while these can be used for web page extensions, they are more likely to be found as extensions for related files, rather than the pages themselves.

Hope this helps,
Dan

And these extensions (which are all text files anyway) appear regularly in my browser location bar -- and can be opened by notepad:
.inc
.htaccess
.txt
.xml
.do
.pl

There is no canonical list of them.

Cheers,

What is Javascript? faq216-6094

 

[Vragabond]

To add to the uselessness of this thread. You can also come across:

.shtml
.phtml
.php3
.php4

 

[manarth]

or NO extensions (a la W3C's stance)
/foo/bar
/foo/bar/foobar

what's the point? the file extension is irrelevant (ANY extension can be mapped to this behaviour; if you wanted your web pages to end in .exe they could), what matters is the MIME type:
sample text types
text/plain
text/html
text/css
text/javascript
sample image types
image/gif
image/jpeg

etc.

Useless to you? Probably, highly likely even...
Useless to me? No not at all...

HTTP is text. Even binaries will be encoded as text.

I'm guessing Bobba's lucky that he's answered a few questions in his 4 years at TT. Admins usually axe people for posting venomous comments like he had earlier.

venomous comments

Heh, and I was just thinking about how mild his comment was compared to what I would have posted had I been in his shoes

 

[cLFlaVA]

tarwn, check out ichb (28)! for the venom.

Oh yes - it was pretty hate filled!

Kaht's safe - he has a cute sheep in his sig (a la "rules of hollywood" where the main actor or cute animal sidekick seemingly never die in films)
