Replacing JS with just HTML

For many years now, JavaScript has been the workhorse of the web. If you wanted to do something that couldn't be done with just HTML and CSS, you could usually find a way to do it with JS.
And that is great! JS has helped push user experiences forward, and honestly helped push HTML and CSS forward!
