What is main deficiencies of HTML?

Answer 1

HTML is simply a "markup" language. As such all it's really good for is formatting text, images, and forms. It can't store variables or call on variables as XML and others can. In essence it isn't a real programming language. It's basically just "Word" for the internet.

Answer 2

HTML is a powerful programming language for websites, but it does have certain limitations. Just simply coloring your text and changing it's font is a pain in the butt because you have to then type in a whole line of text. And for every paragraph! CSS helps you change text font or color just like that and is great. HTML is the basis of every site, but if you wish to create a dynamic site, you will need to apply some CSS to the HTML. Or else you will have a heck of a chore to do.

Answer 3

HTML is limited to displaying and describing content; pictures, text, lists, objects(flash movies) and more. The layout and format of these assets are all HTML affects.

HTML is not a programming language. It cannot determine the value of a form element, compare its state against other values and change it or act upon it in some way. Such as when a user submits an online form and a message pops up that reads, "You have not entered some required information." Usually, JavaScript is the mechanism behind that kind of form validation.

HTML can...

seperate info with lists and tables.

display images, flash movies and other websites in layers.
display text with different formatting options like size, color and weight(bold).
communicate meta information that describes the content on the page to browsers and search engines.

HTML cannot...validate user information in an HTML form.
retrieve information from a database.
shower your screen with stars springing from your mouse cursor each time your mouse moved.

Mixing HTML with a programming or scripting language like php, javascript, vbscript, vb.NET, C#.NET or Java removes most limitations.

Without knowing HTML you couldn't create a website. To make a website you use multiple code type such as HTML CSS Java ETC. HTML is used in Most every website if not all. It has limitations because alone you can't do a whole lot with it besides change the page background put some images and text in. There's not a lot to do with HTML alone so it has some limitations of what you can do compared to CSS and Java where you can do lots more complicated styling and features with the website.

Weaknesses:
