I understand the purpose of html and css but what is the point of javascript?

Answer 1

Let's compare it to a car:

Html - all the chassis and how the internal parts of the car are organized.

Css - the design of the car ie how it looks like inside and outside.

Javascript - what makes the car operational. Drive, steer, open the radio, honk the horn, lights and all its functions.

Answer 2

HTML= Content & Structure..
CSS= Presentation..
JavaScript= Behavior.. :)

Answer 3

If you learn JS here, you will know it. It's to apply DOM events. If you don't know what they are, I suggest you do the course.

Answer 4

if compare to a human:
Html is skeleton
css is the appearance
js is the actions

Answer 5

HTML creates the structure of the site, CSS 'styles' the structure, and JavaScript "Changes" elements of the site.

HTML - Gives you an Input "box"
CSS - Tell the box to have a nice border and cool color
JS - "Changes" the box to give it a shadow and change the color when you 'hover' over it with the mouse.

Answer 6

Ok think of a clock - the arrangement of numbers is html, the nice looking colors and pictures are css and the gears in the back that make the arms move is JavaScript

Answer 7

It defines the behaviour of the website

Answer 8

Answer 9

Javascript is just magic.... I've loved the fact that I can manipulate the Document Object Model given me a sense of control or superiority when creating applications/websites. Toby your right but your explanation of what JS does, CSS does better and effectively.

Although I love JS, please remember that when designing things use CSS3 for efficiency. It may seem hard, but what isn't usually to begin with? Try animation, transitions etc and you'll understand.

Javascript is a high level programming language that compliments both CSS and HTML in webpages with functionality.

while HTML sets the structure and the CSS sets the aesthetics, JS is in charge of making the site's data dynamical.
