HTML (HyperText Markup Language), also known as HTML4, is specially designed to be used on World Wide Web, describing what a webpage looks like. In fact, HTML or HTML4 was finalized and published in 1999. Since it delivers the static pages only, which is quite boring, other plug-ins such as CSS, Flash, Java, Silver light are coupled with it so as to meet users’ requirement for impressive web features. Another big problem of HTML4 is its limited functionality. It is heavily reliant upon the plug-ins for creating images or videos and then embedding them into the HTML pages. The immediate sequel is that it’s difficult to maintain proper standards with too many plug-ins.
