In addition to HTML, other markup languages support the use of CSS including XHTML, plain XML, SVG, and XUL.
The HyperText Markup Language, or HTML is the standard markup language for documents designed to be displayed in a web browser. It can be assisted by technologies such as Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) and scripting languages such as JavaScript.
Web browsers receive HTML documents from a web server or from local storage and render the documents into multimedia web pages. HTML describes the structure of a web page semantically and originally included cues for the appearance of the document.
JavaScript is a high level, often just in time compiled language that conforms to the ECMAScript standard. It has dynamic typing, prototype based object orientation, and first class functions. It is multi paradigm, supporting event driven, functional, and imperative programming styles. It has application programming interfaces (APIs) for working with text, dates, regular expressions, standard data structures, and the Document Object Model (DOM).
