it is but its more like a foundation program like java for bigger an more elaberate proggramming. You prove me wrong then maybe I'll look at it the same way, but thats what we all try an do isn't it?
you're freakin' kidding me.
it's a MARKUP LANGUAGE. it's RIGHT in the flippin name, HTML, Hyper Text Markup Language!
Also- Java applets are referenced on a HTML page via the APPLET tag. no Java code appears in the HTML file. just attributes, and a class reference, as well as a codebase.
Your thinking of Javascript, which isn't part of HTML.
HTML is like bbcode. you don't say your programming when you post, do you?
Additionally, any language is going to have Loops, variables, conditions, etc. HTML has none of those. (PS: CSS is not HTML)
HTML on it's own creates static pages. a programming language, in contrast, creates applications that *do* something.
if HTML(or SGML, for that matter) was a programming language- then so is XML. and considering XML is really just a way of storing hierarchical data, I doubt it.
