Determine about the Web Based Tools
HTML, XML, CGI and other open standards
As is well known, the Web as well as Intranets speak and understand only one language i.e., the HTML, the browser at the client's end after downloading the pages from the server, interprets the language and converts it into human understandable format and the output would be what everyone actually sees on their computers. Until recently, HTML was available as an open standard, i.e., it was not under control of any vendor. Web application developers intending to release their product had to conform to this standard.
