thanks guys. But my issue is not exactly about Joomla or any CMS for that
matter. Steven, I read that doc on wikipedia before I posted here. What i
want is some sort of diagram or doc explaining what or how the cfm or htm
page gets created by using the info which is iam 100% sure stored somewhere
in the database. So when the user requests index3.cfm, index3.cfm is
actually created using values from the db cols like bgcolor, font and the
main content, I believe is brought from another table and so on. I need
details like these.
anyone out there with these high level details??? or can you guide me to a
doc/link.
thanks,
Ajas.

or Howto?
for your last question:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Content_management_system
not sure how Joomla works, they are all pretty much the same
also there is a manual for joomla:
http://help.joomla.org/images/User_manual/user_manual_v1%200%201_10%2021
%2006.pdf
that may help.
