Hi,

Is there a way to change to the views’ file extensions from .rhtml  
to .html ?? If yes, how can I do that?

Thanks,  
Prasad

Not quite sure why you would want to do that, but  
ActionView::Template.register\_template\_handler :html,  
TemplateHandlers::ERB  
might do the trick (in rails 2.1)
