Why do we have to use 3 programs(HTML, CSS ,and JavaScript) together? This was a question I asked myself when I first started learning about these programs, and then when I heard this question from other people, I started researching this question. Of course, the answer to this question became clear when I started using the programs, but I wanted to write such a short article for people who are just starting and thinking about this question. Let’s see the answer to our question.

HTML, CSS, JavaScript

Doing web design is different from other types of software. You can code a website today and expect it to continue working in five years or 10 years without any updates. You can easily write your code to run on an old computer from 10 years ago or on an old browser. The web works on Mac, Windows, iOS, Android, Linux, other mobile operating systems, E-book readers, game consoles, televisions, and watches. There are a wide variety of devices that run HTML, CSS ,and JavaScript in one way or another. That’s the whole purpose of the web, that’s the reason it was invented. To provide a way for humanity to share content even if our computers are different from each other. It should be a beautiful. This is made possible by having three different programming languages, each of which does a part of the work.

CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) is used for styling and layout. It allows developers to control the look and feel of a website, including things like font sizes, colors, and the positioning of elements on the page.

HTML (HyperText Markup Language) is used for the structure and content of a website. It allows developers to define the different parts of a webpage, such as headings, paragraphs, and links.

JavaScript is a programming language that is used to add interactivity to a website. It allows developers to create things like drop-down menus, forms that can be filled out and submitted, and elements that change in response to user input.

Together, these three technologies form the foundation of modern web development and are essential for creating dynamic and interactive websites.

If you only used one of these technologies, you would not be able to create a fully functional website. For example, if you only used HTML, you would be able to create the structure and content of a webpage, but you wouldn’t be able to control the styling or add any interactive elements.

On the other hand, if you used all three technologies together, you would be able to create a complete and functional website with a range of features, including styling, layout, content, and interactivity.

In conclusion, CSS, HTML, and JavaScript are all crucial technologies in the field of web development. They work together to create dynamic and interactive websites that meet the needs of users. CSS is used for styling and layout, HTML is used for the structure and content of a webpage, and JavaScript is used to add interactivity. Without the use of all three technologies, it would not be possible to create fully functional and user-friendly websites.
