Computers think in a series of instructions. You have to define and tell it everything to do. Every time you are doing anything in programming, it’s either grouping code into a bundle, defining existing code, or downloading somebody else’s code, but it’s all just detailed instructions in code form. Javascript is a tool, like all other programming languages. Each tool is excellent at doing specific things.
If you don’t even know what you don’t understand- or you just don’t understand at all. That’s okay, you are new to the tool. You have to start small and work up. Start by figuring out what the purpose of each tool is designed to do best. Figure out why Javascript can do something HTML can’t, or do something it can better. Then keep going, or evolving your simple projects in javascript.
If you are a concept person -
Look into this to understand what javascript or computers expect as you write code - Search up the “OOP Principles of programming”. This gives you an outline of what programming is in a concept form. It is a core of computer science education.
