Less than a decade ago, Flash ruled the web development space. If there were multimedia elements on a webpage, then it was powered by Flash. JS was developed as a language by the team at Netscape used to work in conjunction with HTML and CSS to provide the interactive that is enjoyed by users daily.

HTML coding is used to create the page content, images, and link data. The CSS coding is used to develop the style, fonts, coloring, and content positioning.
