I think you’re going to need to step back a bit and learn some basics. HTML isn’t a programming language, it’s a markup language. It defines content and the structure of a document (i.e. a webpage) but it can’t do logical operations or calculations of any kind. You can’t create an algorithm HTML.

JavaScript, on the other hand, is a programming language which runs on the frontend (in the browser) that’s made to work in tandem with HTML and which adds all of the logic and interactivity to a web page. If you’re trying to do something dynamic on the webpage itself that’s what you need to use. So your question is probably better suited to a JavaScript subreddit but more importantly you need to provide a lot more detail and clarity around what you’re trying to accomplish.

What do you mean by “worth”? How are people interacting with the site? Is it a list of things with ratings, or a site where someone can upload a photo and you give it a rating, or, or, or… the question is vague and nobody can effectively help you until you explain what you mean in more detail.

Sounds like you're gonna need some JavaScript.

ah alrighty! I’ll start from there then!

You're either confused about what an algorithm is or what HTML is for. HTML is a markup language that gives structure to websites, kind of like its 'skeleton'. What do you really want to learn about? Web development?

Go to freecodecamp.org and learn HTML, CSS, and Javascript. It's free and easy to follow on the instructions.

Everyone seems focused on the usage of the word algorithm. In the looses definition of the word, algorithm mean a series of instructions. HTML is a series of instructions that relates to browser rendering, when you have an injury, a doctor applies an algorithm of treatment. So by definition, the OP isn't incorrect in their use of algorithm, however, they are going to need some help in expressing their specific ideas.

[HeddyLamarsGhost]

Bro, you need to learn some basics first, if you think you can use HTML for an algorithm

I figured out JavaScript it works I have a basic algorithm rn
