Dhtml is just the addition of html javascript and css3 <se fini>

Jquery is an approximation of javascript. Or you can call it code less do more (when compared to javascript). It is basically used to manouvre nodes in the "DOM" more efficiently than javascript. And makes your work faster. A code of about 20 can be done with jquery in 2 lines and even more effectively cos jquery is more cross-browser compliant than even javascript. With your knowledge of jquery you could even use jquery UI or jquery. Those two gan are another topic on their own

With only html you are like someone whose only asset in job market is MS WORD. but html with it associated technologies then the sky is your limit cos there will be approximately no damn project you wont be able to do (cos am a living witness)

I see no reason why one should learn php, rails, coldfusion, aspx and it sorts like perl with the python aspect of this series cos it is TAUTOLOGY

I once programmed a compilation of ebooks in html, burnt it to an optical disk and sold it as a desktop application. the disc auto-ran once you inserted it and served its purpose effectively. this was done with HTML...using the disk as a server sort of.

I am also aware of a lot of chm files (compiled HTML) used mostly to program efficient e books with amazing abilities.

in conclusion; you can't use HTML (4) for writing 3,d games or creating another facebook but can it write a desktop application? yes.

i ll need ur assistance to help me convert some pdf files to chm(compiled html).we can negotiate on the cost.as chm files open better on my gadget

Afam4eva: I'm shocked that people are listing desktop applications as things HTML can be used to create. How can you be going far for a simple question such as this.

@OP
HTML can be used to create the structure, look and feel of a website. It caters nfor the way a website will look generally and that's where it stops.

No. It does not stop there. You need to explore HTML5 !

Afam4eva:
Where in the op's post did he mention css and javascript. Some of you just like doing "i too know".

Maestro! Na you be this!

HTML is called hypertext markup language,and to my knowledge it is used mostly for adding or designing a web page or articles,from more info visit the thread on"learn web design live on nairaland for free"

Html5 is just the latest HTML version/ standard!

This is what I did with html... Help me assess it. Forget about the content, just check the color and the layout.

I have designed countless pages with html
