For those of you that are not aware, a scripting language is
Quote
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.
