Yup, you can use js, but CSS is specially made for designing... And js is mainly used for animation and stuff ... js has the ability to design, because in small projects, adding a CSS file is a lot of work sometimes... But in Sololearn, using CSS is built-in with the web... And designing in js will make the code more complex to read... So prefer CSS over js for styling And besides, won't CSS be sad if js does it's work? 😉😂😂

Well yes you can use js but I think that CSS would be better. CSS(cascading style sheets) has been made for styling . It has various instruments for creating animation , transitions and for stylings. CSS is used to make the website look more attractive , more responsive . Thanks

You really should use css for styling and designing all the html elements. Css can be programmed through preprocessor such as sass/scss, less too, it allows you to add repeated blocks and modules, define maxin functions, assigned variables colors and sizes into css. We only use javascript to add runtime logics on html elements.

A pure Designing is a combination of HTML + CSS + JS but Mostly highly animation or Button on webpage are go through JS. You can create a Beautiful Website with HTML and CSS (For Desinging Purpose only) But for more responsive you have to choose JS.

No. Acually JS can not replace CSS. JS has the capability of doing animations, but not in CSS. You can use jquery, which is easier than JS in handling animations.

CSS is better. If javascript is disabled in a browser, then your javascript won't render it.

No need to be ambivalent, as you've stressed "designing and beautification"...CSS is your guy. Soon enough, you'll love some interactivity on your page, that's when JS comes out handy.

You ask a good question. What I understand is that the simple answer is no. When I have used JS to stir style a page, it has typically been by adding CSS elements or even HTML attributes. JS added the functionality to my pages. I'm guessing that you wouldn't really ever see JS without CSS.
