web script language tag definition - language-agnostic

I am new to web development. It's easy to see a lot tag starting with:
<%=
<%!
<%#
What are these tag called? Is it from any specific scripting language? Can I find the reference on w3schools? Please help, thanks.

That looks like JavaServer Pages. W3Schools doesn't have anything on it, but with the name you should be able to Google it and find a lot.

What kind of webprograming language is this? <!-- -->

I'm an old hand on programming but a wet-behind-the-ears newbie on webprogramming. I ran in to this in a project and I need help identifying the technique/language used.
It is some sort of dynamic web-page that fetches information from a database and displays it in a table. In the html-page that is used these tags are
<!-- some text that has to be some form of commands -->
What is it called? It is impossible to google either the starting tag or the closing tag :/
I know that it somehow uses a c-program to do the actual fetching of the data, but i'm at a loss how it actually works.
What I need is the name so I know what to look for in the form of online resources to learn this and I do hope that this kind of tag-usage is only used by one type of language/technique :)
thanks in advance from archie!
Those tags are just html comments. It's possible that they're being used in a template file, and a server-side scripting language is doing some kind of search/replace to execute commands on the template. If so, it's impossible to say what language it is.
This looks like an HTML comment
http://www.w3schools.com/tags/tag_comment.asp
lessthan-bang-dash-dash is a comment, which closes at dash-dash-greaterthan.
Its a HTML comment, if you need further information http://www.w3schools.com/tags/tag_comment.asp
;)
The tags you posted in code are Comment Tags. They are for adding non-functional comments to code to help readers understand what is being done in the code.

Usage of Web Template in JSP Form

I have designed few JSP forms and I am in need of integrating any web template in that JSP form.
I am a beginner in JSP and I am completely unaware of such web templates usage in JSP.
Any sort of explanation/sources that would help me in proceeding with my task would be of great help.
Thanks everyone in advance. Waiting for your helpful replies.
UPDATE
Also let me know model web templates that can be downloaded from net. My ultimate aim is to present my JSP form in a good way.
This is completely unrelated to JSP. JSP just offers a way to control the HTML/CSS/JS output programmatically using Java. All the browser gets and understands is HTML/CSS/JS. You control markup with HTML. You control style (look'n'feel) with CSS. You control progressive enhancements with JS.
So, the real answer is: use CSS.

Find Tags in website HTML's

I'm using Perl.
I have the tag, for example: "XYZ_PKM_HTML"
I would like to be able to provide a base url, for example: www.example.com
and the to get the HTML page (not necessarily the main page, thats easy) where this tag appears.
is it possible? any idea? (or already made modules, looked on cpan, there were some interesting stuff, but not installable)
Thanks,
MJD has an extended example on writing a web spider in Higher-Order Perl. It is section 4.7. See page 187 in Chapter 4.
Of course, you can also try the WWW::SimpleRobot module he mentions.
You seem to want to implement a web site crawler and a searcher. You usually do the former with WWW::Mechanize and the latter with HTML::Twig
Try Web-Scraper in Perl. Web-Scraper module info.
It is easy to work with and you can search for specific tags or elements and get the data from it.

validating HTML

I am beginner in HTML and CSS. I just designed web site and tried to validate but my HTML end up having some "geovisit();"
and it wont validate.
I do not know how to get rid of it.
Help me?
Thank you

A quick Google search for geovisit suggests that the non-validating code is being added by your hosting provider. It looks like this problem may actually be specific to Yahoo!, which has an option to disable that "feature". I suggest you read this forum thread on the problem.
That's usually Yahoo (or other hosting providers) sticking javascript on your page without your knowing. In Yahoo's case you should be able to turn it off if you dig through the settings.
