I want to make a website only with html code, but need to get it looking like any other very nice website.

With flash there are almost no limits... picture colour changes, sounds, flashy stuff. Movement when scrolling over.

What are my limitations with html?

Thanks
 
Well u can still make it look great if you use good graphics for an interface.
 
With HTML alone?

Everything will be static. That is your limit, and its a big limit.

If you use CGI you can get your pages to be dynamic (different depending on conditions)

If you use Javascript, you can get your pages to run client side code which makes it more like a windows application with regards to interactivity.

If everything is done with HTML (server side) everything will be slow.
 
Images should be easy to load. But very very limited functionality

will a pic work or not?
Click to expand...

If you are looking to make a website that will always show the same content, then yeah html alone will work. Its just positioning elements and choosing pretty pictures to make the site look good.

But it won't be easy to maintain/change. CGI is basically a script which generates html on the fly based on conditions. Its easier to maintain/change, and it gives you access to dynamic pages
 
what is the reason for "html-only". More specifically, what is the definition?
Which of the following is allowed?
Images
CSS
JavaScript
Server Side Scripting
 
Html-only is the very reason I puke. Most, if not all webhosting companies allow on even their most basic sites, html, js and css....
 
x2 on HTML + JavaScript + CSS, it's very powerful, problem is really that most browsers aren't always equipped to handle it well, perfect example of this is Acid tests.
