Although the majority of web users have JavaScript enabled on their browsers, there is always that small percentage that have JavaScript disabled. This is where the noscript tag comes in to play.
Okay, so you have learned the basics of HTML. But you have discovered HTML’s limitations. You want some interactivity and cool effects on your site. Believe it or not, that interactivity and those effects can be achieved with JavaScript.
In this tutorial we will learn how to use a basic HTML form with a PHP script. We will be working on a simple contact form that can be used on your website.
PHP is a server side scripting language. PHP will allow you to accept input from HTML forms. Actually, that’s just the tip of the iceberg. You can do a lot of things with PHP. A few possibilities are: creating a rotating banner, making calculations, adding and extracting data to a database. Again, these are just a few really small examples of what you can do.
In this tutorial, we will be introduced to a scripting language called Perl. Perl is a Server-Side scripting language; meaning that the script will run off of a server.
So you have purchased your domain name from your favorite registrar and you are ready for your website to go live.

In this tutorial we’ll go over some of the CSS features that can be used with background images.
CSS technology gives us the creative power over how we want our links displayed. We no longer have to settle for the generic blue underlined links of the past.

In the past, webmasters had to declare the presentational attributes of each HTML element respectively. For example if you had an <h1> tag and wanted its font size to be 15 pixels, you would have to specify the font size for the that particular <h1> tag. That sounds easy, right. Now imagine that you have 2000 <h1> tags throughout your site, and you have decided that you want to change the font size on all of them to 13 pixels. This would more than likely be a nightmare to accomplish. This is where CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) comes into play.
