This is a fairly vague question and really the best certification depends on your skill-set.

HTML Certification - If I were to go near this, I would opt for XHTML and CSS because these are the latest Web 2.0 markup languages that are used in industry today. However, a certification in this area would certify you as a designer rather than a developer.

JavaScript Certification - This is a client-side scripting language, JavaScript typically lives within the HTML/XHTML and can be very powerful in manipulating your web pages. A certification in JavaScript would be better than HTML, but obviously the prerequisit would be to know HTML.

ASP Certification - I would deffinately recommend a certification in Microsoft ASP.NET as this is deffinately a developer area. Prerequisits, you need to learn and understand either VB.NET and/or C#, and optionally, JavaScript will help.

WHY: Because it will enable you to build very robust and powerful websites. It is also a fairly new technology, and in demand, and you will be working on the cutting edge (if you so wish). Because of these factors, you will also earn a larger salary over the other certifications.

Microsoft offer certifications starting at "Microsoft Certified Technology Specialist", to become a certifi ed TS ASP.NET Developer you must take two exams, 70-536 (Application Development Foundation) and 70-562 (ASP.NET Application Development).
