Is there a way to use variables in HTML or do I have to use a variant of HTML?
Don't work harder, work smarter..

HTML is a static language, use something like php,asp,javascript,vbscript,cgi,perl,java etc.
Did this help??

there is no such thing as variables in HTML. if you want to generate dynamic HTML pages, use PHP as the backend and generate the HTML code with PHP.
If you want moving stuff on your page, use JavaScript...

If you're using Win98SE it would be faster to do ASP. All the software you need is on the CD.

Do you see what you've done, now? All this talk that HTML was a programming language really made people believe it had variables or anything else that make up a proglang...
Please just ignore this post

we had this discussion before, and HTML actually _is_ a programming language, as well as XMS or SGML are programming languages in some way

Hmmm... according to the dictionary HTML is a markup language. That's why it's HTML and not HTPL.

Main Entry: markup language
Function: noun
Date: 1980
: a system (as HTML or SGML) for marking or tagging a document that indicates its logical structure (as paragraphs) and gives instructions for its layout on the page for electronic transmission and display
Main Entry: pro·gram·ming
Variant(s): also pro·gram·ing /-mi[ng]/
Function: noun
Date: 1940
1 : the planning, scheduling, or performing of a program
2 a : the process of instructing or learning by means of an instructional program b : the process of preparing an instructional program
Personally I consider this a programming language, it consists of instructions, etc, this is really a personal opinion, depending on how far you will streach the meaning of programming.
Take it how you want.

That was suppposed to be a joke. I think sacah must have used the same thing I used to look that up though.

it was just a simple question to think about, and nothing to start a war or something ...
I just think that everything should be decided by the name of something.
for example PHP:
PHP = "PHP Hypertext Proccessor" ... and it isn't a hardware

well i suppose so, although your browser supports many languages like javascript (and others with some pluggins) so i think it would be a webpage processor
