For those of you that are not aware, a scripting language is A scripting language, script language or extension language is a programming language that allows control of one or more software applications. "Scripts" are distinct from the core code of the application, which is usually written in a different language, and are often created or at least modified by the end-user. Scripts are often interpreted from source code or bytecode, whereas the applications they control are traditionally compiled to native machine code. Scripting languages are nearly always embedded in the applications they control.
The name "script" is derived from the written script of the performing arts, in which dialogue is set down to be spoken by human actors. Early script languages were often called batch languages or job control languages. Such early scripting languages were created to shorten the traditional edit-compile-link-run process. So, some scripting languages include Perl, JavaScript, HTML, CSS, etc. Which language(s) do you use?Personally, I like to stick with CSS and HTML. Honestly, those are the most important when creating a site. JavaScript is also important as is Perl, but normally, you hear people talking about more CSS and HTML.

Like polas I'm not so sure HTML is a scripting language. Are you mixing up HTML with Javascript or VBScript?

HTML is not a scripting language, rather its a MARKUP language.
Scripting language OR any other server side language have code through which we actually make decisions of what should be processed and what not. In these language we get different types of decision making and looping blocks like If ... then, For...Next, While...do etc.
In HTML we don't have such facility, but we use HTML for displaying data or say it is used for making structure of your web page. HTML just describe the data as provided to it by the users or programmers. They are markup languages.
Like HTML, other markup languages are: XHTML and XML
Hope this helps all.

Understanding the differences between scripting languages and programming languages, will give you the differences between JavaScript and Java, and there are many. They share similar flow of controls and logic that are common to all computer languages, but they are completely different languages and function.
Scripting language: limited scriptlets of code that is interpreted straight from the written source code, so it's slow. They are used as a supportive language to add functionality to another application, like JavaScript adds dynamic functionality to a web page on a web client. You can't write self-contained programs with only a scripting language.
Programming language: full programming capabilities that creates fully self-contained executable applications. Some programming languages are interpreted, but others are compiled (source code translated to machine code), so it runs faster. Java is unique that it's both compiled and interpreted; it's compiled to bytecode rather than a specific platform machine language, so it need a JIT virtual environment to interpret the bytecode to run the java program.

No, definitely no. Html is not a scripting language it is a markup language. Scripting languages are javascript and vbscript which are embedded in html.

A major class of scripting languages has grown out of the automation of job control, which relates to starting and controlling the behavior of system programs. (In this sense, one might think of shells as being descendants of IBM's JCL, or Job Control Language, which was used for exactly this purpose.) Many of these languages' interpreters double as command-line interpreters such as the Unix shell or the MS-DOS COMMAND.COM. Others, such as AppleScript offer the use of English-like commands to build scripts. This combined with Mac OS X's Cocoa frameworks allows user to build entire applications using AppleScript & Cocoa objects.
