What is HTML?
HTML stands for Hyper Text Markup Language. It is the language that browser's read. (Internet Explorer, Netscape Communicator...) Websites and webpages are written in HTML and if you know HTML, you have the ability to create highly informative, high performance, and good looking websites. And since HTML files are simple plain text (ASCII) files, you can create them no matter what Operating System you are running (UNIX, Windows, Mac...).
Tim Berners-Lee, the grandfather of HTML, started designing his first elementary browsing and authoring system for the internet in 1990. He created a simplistic text-based language that allowed for any word process to create HTML pages. Thus, the web flourished due to wide spread use. When companies like Netscape and Microsoft started developing browsers, their developers added more and more HTML tags to it's source. Some companies, such as Microsoft added tags like <iframe>, <marquee>, and <bgsound> while Netscape did not. Thus, that is why some websites are different when viewed in Internet Explorer versus Netscape Communicator.
