Let's talk about how HTML, CSS, and JavaScript work together to create a web page.
Here's the breakdown:
-
HTML is the raw content
- It contains all the text you see on the page as well as links to other pages and links to images
-
CSS controls how the web page looks
- This includes page layout, fonts, colors, sizes, etc.
- Without CSS, every website would look exactly the same: like a boring Word document.
-
JavaScript controls how the web page behaves and responds to users
- For example: what happens when you click a button, the error messages you get when you try to log into a website with the wrong password, etc.
- JavaScript can manipulate both HTML and CSS in response to user behaviors
