HTML is not a programming language.

I want to see you write a simple if-else statement in HTML.  Hell, ANY
statement that consitutes a logical function.

HTML is a Markup Language, that's it.  Stop trying to use broken logic to
claim it is something else.  HTML does *NOTHING* programatically.  It marks
up content to give *clues* about how to display things.  The browser is 
the program, not the HTML.  Again, claiming HTML is a programming language
is the same as claiming the field delimiters in a database are a programming
language.
