It all really depends on the site and my mood lol...

I usually just use xhtml / css with some javascripts and a little php thrown in there, but sometimes I make the sites with a lot more php.

I've been known to do some coding is asp, though I'm not that comfortable with it, so that doesn't usually happen, unless I'm working with someone else's code that was already written in that language.

I was working with actionscript yesterday, but because I was doing something in flash. So I don't know if that counts

I'm sure Java could do somethings in websites that are okay. I've seen it used in certain applets and things on sites. Though I did get a little training in it, I never learned anything deep enough into the language that it could have been of any use on my websites. We were just using that language as an introduction to programming.

Anyone else do much in the lines of Java in their websites?

It depends on what your site needs. If you don't need PHP, don't use it. IF you do, however, you have to use it. But don't use PHP where you don't need it, as it can slow things down unnecessarily. And other stuff.

I usually use XHTML/CSS/someJavascript/PHP/MySQL as necessary.

Alright thanks a bunch guys its interesting to know just what all the other programmers out there are using. I just recently got a book on Java and one on CSS so I can further understand CSS better.

Java wouldn't be the most efficient or worth-time language to learn, especially if you are talking cosmetically.

A great language for cosmetic effects(if not taken too far) is Flash(not neccessarily a language, but you get my point.)

Generally, still cosmetically speaking, the main languages will be HTML, CSS, JS, and Flash. And, to tell the truth, you really don't need to try any other off-color language for cosmetics. The previous mentioned languages should offer more than enough.

10. A Small Html Problem - How to display foreign characters correctly when designing a site. (4)

    I was wondering how I could solve a small problem. I was told that some people see accented and
    umlauted letters (such as " é " and " ë ") as question marks (" ? ") on my website. I come across
    the same thing sometimes when looking at websites which use non-English characters. Funnily enough,
    the other day, I looked at a site and the apostrophy ( ' ) was also shown as a question mark.
    That is a very common character usually, I would think. I thought it had something to do with the
    character encoding settings, and let me also mention I use Mozilla Firefox as my brows...
