difference between html.erb and .erb

I spend few hours debugging a flash chart issue. At the end and after a lot of trial and error, I switched my view name from dashboard.erb to dashboard.html.erb and that resolved the problem. Any idea why? I tried to google for the difference between the two but could not find anything meaningful. I have a mix of views with only .erb and html.erb in my app. Thanks for the insight.

Typo correction .rhtml not /rhtml
