HTML: History Timeline

This page is a brief overview of timeline of web tech.

Note: some of the dates are approximate. For example, it's hard to give a date for Cookies, CSS3, HTML5. (e.g. the date difference could be few years between: date of draft spec, recommended status, public awareness, wide acceptance.) I tend to choose a year the tech is widely used.

2011-09-04 For a very well-done interactive graphical illustration of web tech history, using HTML5 technologies, see: http://evolutionofweb.appspot.com/ .
