Code Redirect

[brensa]

My website has been online for a couple of years. The web pages are static. I
am creating a database and want my site to by dynamic. I am working on the new
site with file extensions asp on my computer.
If a user kept the .html file extension pages in their favorites how can they
be redirected to the new .asp file extension pages once the new dynamic site
will be finished.
How can I redirect asp pages to main page if page is not found ont he
server?:cool;

It would be much easier for your visitors and search engines if the file
extensions would stay the same. If you have to change all URLs just
because you switch to another server-side technology then your URL
design is not good and will cause problems (broken links).

Cool URIs don't change

You should read the sections about "Designing URIs" and especially "What
to leave out".

If I am to use my static pages .html file extensions) how would I be able to
make the site intereactive and dynamic. Static web sites are limited as to
their potential, lack of intereaction no database etc.I was thinking of keeping
those static pages, making new pages and using http redirect code from old
pages to new ones.
Is their a way with html file extensions to make a dynamic site without
reworking the whole site?
Thanks
