lol no you didn't even hit the tip of the ice berg as far as languages go.... There is a lot more than that and half of them are worthless <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/smile.gif" />
If used correctly, CSS and JavaScript can both be very awesome.. The problem is.. I haven't seen too many people use them correctly.... People seem to think JavaScript can be used to make sure people fill out correct data in forms.. Does this mean you can avoid doing it on the server side also? hell no.. that is huge security risk if you only check on client side.. and stupid too!!
I think it's funny when I see a webpage that has like 4 pages of JavaScript and you just sit there and wonder what the hell this person is trying do?! I mean it's great to use for small things, or little error checking.. adding up prices in a form etc.. opening up popup windows (for help, or to view an image or something legit, not banner ads)..
CSS? I've sene it used in some cool ways.. All of the small stuff that the user doesn't really see, but it makes the developers life a lot easier.. that is way cool.. but when it starts getting complex for almost no reason? jesus...
My friend had a webpage that had tables you could drag around on the website like a window.. that way you could put your content where you want it.. cool idea.. but it was slow.. and it was only cool for the first few times I went to the site.. after that it was just annoying.. waiting for it all to load, and doesn't work on anything but IE.. sheesh.. for what? I mean you don't even use it!!!
Also.. Have you looked at some of the specs for HTML 4.0? Some are worth while, but then you have stuff like.. replacements for I, B, and U tags?!?!?!?! WHY?!?! Why make them more complex?? Why have a STRONG tag replace B? I mean .. which is easier to type? which is easier to remember? which one keeps the doc. smaller? B!!!!! duh?! who the hell came up with all of these anyway? I would like to kick them in the butt.. They break the first rule of programming.. keep it simple, stupid.
