lol ive just read back this whole topic........
...........it seems funny to me that a poll is created and then you try and sniff out the people who went across the grain and voted yes
why even bother creating a poll if all you are gonna do is slate people who dont agree with you, thats lame and isnt what i have come to expect from the PHP community, that is more suited in the ASP forums
personally i voted yes, and im 2 tired to post the reasons why again, i dont care if it technially isnt a programming language, it is 2 me, because without it nothing is happening, when im creating my DIVS / Tables, i dont think, oh yeah, im writing in word here, HTML has a fairly strict syntax to comply with, or it wont display properly, just as any other language
anyway who cares if HTML is'nt 'technically' a programming language, without it other web-based programming languages including PHP wouldnt exist!
someone trying to be clever wrote:
ah yeah, but now we have XML!
yeah, great, fantastic, XML is a newer version of HTML which without HTML wouldnt exist and the internet wouldnt be like it is today
and besides if the net was made up of something like C++ do you think there'd be anywhere near as many people participating in our community
short answer = NO, nowhere near as many
