You seem to be thoroughly confused there. Firstly, HTML is a markup language and used as a presentation layer technology. You don't connect to databases using HTML; you need a general purpose programming language like C/C++/Java/Ruby/Python to connect to databases. Google for 'HTML Tutorial' and start reading...

Adding to SOS, i want to tell u that HTML is used as presentation layer ie it is used to present somthing(text, image etc.) on the web page.

like

<input type='button' value='Click me!'>

above HTML code will draw button on a web page with cation as 'Click me!'.

For database intraction u have to learn other languages as SOS had mentioned.

but if we want to create a website on which user must have to enter there login id and password to login then the info about user must be store in database. is it correct or not?????

[Luckychap]

Yes u r correct. Thats why we are suggesting u to learn some general purpose languages, so that u would be able to interact with the database.

The theme is that:

you create a page on website using HTML, and in that web page u draw some controls (textbox, buttons etc.), so that u can ask user for input.

And then you validate(not doing any database interaction) the data like that any fields are not set empty etc using some client-side scripting language like javascript.

And then u send those parameters(user id, password etc. ) to the web server.

And then on web server u use some G.P. language(like java) to interact with database.

And depending upon the database, You will send a response back to webpage (ie client).

This is a general flow which is used to develop a web site. So ur first step is to develop a web page with some controls on it. That is done using HTML.
