How to remove .html ending from the page links

Hi,

I am designing a website in HTML and my files have an extension .html, is there a way to remove that from the links?

I mean, currently I have to type

http://www.mysite.com/page1.html
http://www.mysite.com/page2.html

But, I see some sites such as

http://www.mysite.com/page1/
http://www.mysite.com/page2/

How can I do that?

Code (markup):

its about removing file extensions via .htaccess

 

Thank you very much, I will check it now.

 

UPDATE: I tried the code and it worked. I will post the code here as well, since that blog post might be removed in the future.

This will remove file extensions like .html, .php, .asp and so on.

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}\.html -f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ $1.html
# Replace html with your file extension, eg: php, htm, asp

Code (markup):

This one will add a trailing slash to the end, like website.com/home/

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}\.html -f
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/$ $1.html 

# Forces a trailing slash to be added
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(\.[a-zA-Z0-9]{1,5}|/)$
RewriteRule (.*)$ /$1/ [R=301,L]

Code (markup):

 

wow, I didn't knew like this existed! i thought that ( site.com/page/ ) can only be done in php/asp

I will check this on my site too!!
