These days I am learning HTML5 new element where I read that the canvas tag is only a container for graphics, you must use a script to actually paint graphics.
so I want to know that Is JavaScript necessary to learn ,to use all HTML 5 features?
If yes than for which tags of HTML5 , JavaScript knowledge will be needed?
Darin Dimitrov :
If you want to use all HTML 5 features then, yes, you have to learn javascript because some of them rely on javascript like Local Storage and the WebSocket API.",

Chris Morgan :
No, there are various features of HTML5 which are not JavaScript dependent; for example, new tags like <article>, <header>, <footer>, etc.\n\nOn your particular example of the canvas, you don't even need to access it through JavaScript - Processing.js makes is a great for programmers and non-programmers alike and is very easy to start with.",
