So, we use HTML to tell the webpage: "oh, this goes here, that goes there" and so on and so forth. CSS is used for saying "Make this look pretty, and that one look like this, blah blah blah". JavaScript, however, is moreso where we get into making things happen. "So when I hover over this box, it'll drop down". In essence, HTML is for structure, CSS is for style, and JS is for behavior. To answer your question about Java and JavaScript being related: they're not. JavaScript just took the name and mushed it together with "Script", mainly because it's a scripting language instead of a compiled language)

Javascript is a scripting lqnguage that used to make web pages interactive by running on the website visitor's computer. Java is an Objected Oriented Programming language, whereas Javascript is an Object Oriented Scripting language.

Javascript is an interpreted scripting language that's main use is to enable functionality to a webpage. Mainly the clients (users) side of the browser. Javascript is used in a vast majority of websites. Java is a compiled programming language, which has the main use of a variety of things. Such as: Mobile games via Android, Server side of web applications, and probably much more. Java is used in more than 3 billion devices. They are not that similar. Do not say Java if you mean Javascript and vise versa. Similar thing with C, C# & C++, all different (however some more similar) languages.
