JavaScript is a series of text instructions to the browser. Technically it is scripting and not programming but you may see both words used. JavaScript can be used to add interactivity to a Web page so that the user can change it after it has loaded. XHTML creates the page, CSS formats it and then JavaScript changes the content or the way the content looks.
These pages assume you know the basics of programming, the basics of HTML and the basics of CSS so if you do not you should go to those tutorials first.
