| This section is a compilation of tutorial &
lesson pages relating to, HTML - Hyper Text Markup
Language.
These HTML/Internet tutorial and lesson pages
are for learners and experienced Web Designers
alike. The overnight! success of the Internet
has surprised many, including Bill Gates. Microsoft
was late on the scene with their Internet Explorer
and perhaps, like 'em or not, we might be disappointed
because of it.
The first recognised HTML Browser was NCSA Mosaic
and although no longer in the race, it laid the
ground work for the graphical Web Browsers of
today. The first major graphics based Browser
to gain vast popularity was of course Netscape
Navigator.
Rushing to grab more of the Internet market,
as young as it was, Netscape chose the then new
HTML version 3.0 recommendations as the standard
for HTML parsing by their Browser when it was
first proposed. However, version 3.0 was never
ratified because it presented some additions to
HTML that were too advanced and a few that were
all but unworkable.
The W3C trashed 3.0 and came up with 3.2 which
is quite different. Netscape's grab at the largest
share of the market using an unaccepted version
3.0 has presented problems for the industry including
Web page publishers. Netscape's, and to a lesser
extent Internet Explorer's, maverick extensions
should be avoided for browser and browser-version
interoperability.
