Summary
So far in this book, we have used HTML elements to develop our Web interfaces. The use of HTML elements allows any HTML browser to view our site. The problem with plain HTML is the limited set of controls and views that you can use for your Web pages. For example, there are no elements to display a hierarchy, like a tree view. The user has to traverse links and send additional requests to the server, as in the item catalog module when a user wants to browse all the categories listed in AuctionStation.
