Why Javascript
Click here If you prefer to continue without enabling Javascript.
Forgetting all the techno babble, the basic Website design software, HTML, is very fundamental, limiting the designer to static Web pages. 99% of Webpages and information, i.e., the engine, is stored back on the server. Meaning, only simple pages of text is sent to your browser. To change anything you have to click, allow that click to go back to the server, some place in the world, and that server send your a new page. Too slow to add rich features.
With Javascript, you install a Javascript engine on your computer. Then when you visit a new Website it downs the fundamental data and recipes, if you will. Then many of the options you select you requested are created instantly, on your computer. This allows more features to be added, by avoiding delays.
For those who like analogies, HTML was like the old time electronics, before microchips. Javascript likewise opened the doors much richer experiences.
The downside is that someone from another place on the Internet, if they can gain access, can use this tool to do what they want. That was a concern in the beginning before firewalls, security software, etc.
Another analogy is not using Javascript is like the person who prefers riding a Greyhound bus from NY to LA because they heard about a plane crash.
