I see various frameworks being launched that promise Rich Ui and better User experience as they call it. Silverlight, Flash, Yahoo's new framework etc etc.
Does this mean that over a period of time these frameworks will replace the existing HTML, JAVASCRIPT CSS based web applications?
Wouldn't it be same as opening an application inside a browser window?

Will HTML and CSS ever be replaced? No, at least not in the foreseeable future. HTML and CSS are currently the only technology available for representing content to users.
Today, Extensible Hypertext Markup Language (XHTML) is replacing HTML as the Internet standard. XHTML is a markup programming language that is similar to HTML but written using XML.
JavaScript : This is first programming language that we mostly get to know after learning html and css. This is a client side language and will help you to make a dynamic website, where you can process data.
HTML was an simple solution to a problem that did not match well with what would be needed in the future, but no one can tell the future. Eventually, HTML was augmented with countless tools and associated techologies, but it still solves the layout problem, even if it does so poorly.
HTML won't be replaced as a standard any time soon. It's too wide spread a technology, and the amount of re-education required among people working with webapps and websites to switch technology completely would be massive and very costly.
HTML will however, like any other technology, evolve. Look at HTML today compared to 10 years ago, it's the same language in the basics but the way we use it, and add-on technologies have changed it quite a lot. Even a high tech, premium site made 10 years ago will look feeble with todays standards.
So, while HTML will like stay "the same" (i.e. follow the natural evolution of a standard), the technology behind the site (php, .NET, JAVA etc.) will probably be more likely to change.
