HTML is not a programming language. It's simply markup--presentation.

Well, you can't really compare the two because they're two different languages. While java and html do go together (thanks to the JVM), they were both designed for entirely different purposes.

That's like asking why use linoleum when we could use carpet instead.

HTML is good for presentation of certain types of things. It also makes creating simple forms easy. But there are some types of UI's that, while you could likely create them with DHTML, they are very complex and probably a real pain to support. Nevermind that there are still browser inconsistencies to deal with.

Java is a totally different tool. In fact Java can do a whole heck of a lot more than UI's. Java can even be used on the server to help generate HTML output.

Java can work with HTML in various ways. Sometimes Java's the right tool, sometimes HTML is the right tool. Use the right tool.

You can't do in HTML whatever you can do in Java. Whoever told you that is taking a very narrow, limited view on them.

HTML is not a programing language because it's not by definition. It's a simple markup language that provides a browser with instructions on how to display stuff.

Are you possibly talking about Javascript? Not that the question makes much more sense with that replacement.

Enough of this, how about some real questions:Is HTML 100% object-oriented?Does it support pass-by-reference?Is it faster than C++?Enquiring minds want to know. Or should I say minds with doubts?

Java programming resources: FAQs, tutorials, compiler and browser download sites, documentation, books lists, IDEs, etc.
