While HTML and CSS are great for creating the structure and style of a web page, they don't provide the functionality needed to create a truly interactive and responsive experience. This is where JavaScript comes in. JavaScript allows you to create dynamic content, control multimedia, animate images, and much more. It is an essential part of creating modern web applications.

JavaScript can also be used to communicate with the server, allowing you to update the content of your web page without needing to refresh the whole page. This can make your web application faster and more responsive. Additionally, JavaScript can be used to enable features such as offline support and geolocation, which are not possible with just HTML and CSS.

In short, while HTML and CSS are important for creating the structure and style of a web page, JavaScript is essential for adding interactivity and functionality to your web application.
