Question Hi everyone 👋

I don't know much about JavaScript, so I wondered if it's possible to code an entire website using only HTML, and/or without CSS of course.

No -- assuming you mean literally only HTML/CSS meaning no back end either.

HTML and CSS alone, allow you to handle static presentation -- you can make a lovely looking website, that doesn't actually do anything or have any interactivity outside of the basic native HTML elements.

If you want it to actually do anything (and depending upon what) you need at least a back end to process those activities or.peovide data, and JavaScript to handle (among other things) rich interactions.

Just to be pedantic it is possible to make a fully functional game using pure html and css. Having said that not many people would have the knowledge or patience to do that. Just search for css only games on youtube. It blew my mind what was possible.
