Abstract
Chapter 8 introduced HTML, this chapter discusses some of HTML’s more advanced features. HTML differs from compiled languages, such as C and Pascal, in that the HTML text file is interpreted by an interpreter (the browser) while languages such as C and Pascal must be precompiled before they can be run. HTML thus does not contain any precompiled, machine specific code and it thus can be interpreted by any type of compatiable browser on any operating system. The main disadvantage of interpreted files is that the interpreter does less error checking as it must produce fast results.
