User Interface: Default.aspx (Cont.)

The previous source file Default.aspx is not a pure HTML file, so it needs to be converted to an HTML file before the browsers can display it. The ASP.NET does not mention how it does the conversion, but the conversion should not be difficult.

The following HTML source code is retrieved by using Firefox options “View Page Source” after right-clicking the mouse.

Simplified HTML Source of http://localhost:59004/Default.aspx
