Need a lot of HTML to get started with JavaScript?

Understanding that you need to understand what is the header and the body of the html code. But can't one learn it as going through JavaScript.

Hi James, as along as you have a good understanding of HTML I think you will be fine.

Javascript has to do with interacting with the document object model (DOM). If you understand an HTML document, elements, parents, children and the like, you will not have a problem. Javascipt works well when you understand how to target certain elements on an HTML page. Understanding the structure of an HTML page is what is ultimately the most basic need for learning Javascript.
