I got asked a question that I really didn't know how to answer. "What's the difference between HTML5 and Javascript?" I mean we know HTML is a simple markup language but to get into the things that HTML5 does, such as the <canvas> tag for instance; don't you really NEED JavaScript to produce those canvas animations? Would you even be able to make an image slider without any JavaScript assistance? When it comes down to it wouldn't I be able to just use a JavaScript plugin vs HTML5 99% of the time?

No. You still have to code fallbacks for browsers that don't support the HTML5 features you're using. The fallbacks will contain the same amount of Javascript code.
HTML provides the actual content, whereas JavaScript provides an interface for the end-users to interact by generating dynamic content for the users. HTML is mainly used for providing static web content, whereas JavaScript provides a dynamic environment to handle the dynamic events on the web pages.
HTML5 defines a new standard which browsers implement. Almost all of the features require Javascript unless you're using a simple tag that's part of HTML5.
HTML5 is the latest version of HTML programming that allows better management of the web application or the website contents. While HTML doesn't allow support for Video and Audio data in the programming language, HTML5 allows any kind of data to be incorporated into the program.
Technically it HTML5 is a standard for the next generation of HTML. In reality it has become an all encompassing buzzword for javascript and every web technology developed since HTML4.
These are frequently refereed to as HTML5 technologies.
