HTML provides a way of displaying Web pages with text and
images or multimedia content.
HTML is not a programming
language, but a markup language.
An HTML file is a text file
containing small markup tags.
The markup tags tell the Web
browser, such as Mozila Firefox or Google Chrome, how to
display the page.
An HTML file must have an html or html file
extension.
HTML stands for HyperText Markup Language
HTML pages are of two types:
Static Pages- Static pages, as the name indicates, comprise static
content
(text or images). So you can only see the contents of a web page without
being able to have any interaction with it.
Dynamic Pages- Dynamic pages are those where the content of the web
page depend on user input. So interaction with the user is required in order
to display the web page. For example, consider a web page which requires
a number to be entered from the user in order to find out if it is even or
odd.
When the user enters the number and clicks on the appropriate button, the
number is sent to the web server, which in turn returns the result to the
user
in an HTML page.
