Read the wikipedia entries for HTML and Javascript.
Web-pages are really just text files with commands in a particular structure or format or grammar called HTML (Hypertext Markup Language), that a browser program like Internet Explorer interprets, so that it knows the layout of the page and what text, graphics, titles and hyperlinks to display.
This is known as the source-code of the page.
In addition, a page can contain additional commands in the Javascipt language for dynamic things, like moving objects, checking you've entered the right info in forms, etc. Javascript isn't compiled into a program. It is just read as text and interpreted by the browser at various times, such as when the page loads or when you click a button or control or at regular time intevals.
You can view the source HTML and Javascript for a page you're reading by going to View menu, Source in Internet Explorer. Its just a text file that you can create using a plain-text editor like notepad or a specialised web editor like Microsoft Frontpage, that displays and lets you edit the page in a WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) form like Internet Explorer or like a word-processor. You don't have to see the HTML. It writes it for you.
There are books (and electronic Adobe Acrobat .pdf file books) that explain it all, such as 'HTML for Dummies' and 'Javascript for Dummies', available on Amazon.com

In Simple words, HTML is the coding that makes up the web page, HTML is static . Java is a script language that runs within the page to do something specific. Javascript is more dynamic, moving, menues, dynamic text, etc.

Half of the people dont know what there talking about. Listen to me I know html, javasript, MySQL, php, coldfusion, and asp. Ok Html is the backbone of web pages. You can have images and etc in html. Javascript is a scripting language used to make html pages more dynamic. You can use it to validate forms, make ad's pop up and stuff. Try checking www.dynamicdrive.com

Javascript is a lightweight, object-oriented scripting language that allows the programmer freedom to customize his/her code.
Basically, HTML is the bare bones and structure of a webpage, and Javascript adds interactivity to your pages.
