I would also like to add that HTML5 --- and even older versions perhaps
--- has forms.
Also --- no one mentioned this, so this is an addendum made by me ---,
if I recall correctly, with CSS event selectors one can use a dropdown
"nav" element --- or perhaps even "div" element, for older versions of
HTML --- without the need to use JavaScript.
Additionally --- another thing not mentioned, so another addendum ---, I
just tested another thing in Loïc "Magic Banana" Cerf's homepage at
UFMG: with plain HTML and CSS "clearfix", "auto margin", percentage
width and media queries, one can do mobile-first responsible design, all
without the need to use JavaScript.
As bill-auger said, I might be missing the essense of what Stephan
Kreutzer said, so please forgive me for making this possibly-useless
message. I didn't have time to see all the references yet.
With all that said, this message is just a brief summary of HTML+CSS
abilities.
