How do i enable javascript in a .html document?

I wanted to learn a lil bit of website coding so I decided I want to see how a website is written. I used HTTrack Website Copier to copy a website and then i opend the index.html document. Now I saw a row where it says "-- Please enable Javascript --</p". How do I enable javascript to see what normaly would stand in that row? Also i dont have any html oder css file in the folder where HTTrack put the index.html into. Is that normal?

I dont know what to do about this cause i started 2days ago^^

Chances are, that page you copied is referencing a JavaScript file that you didn't download with the HTML file. Look through your HTML for a <script src="...">...</script> tag or something similar; that's the missing file. Same goes for the CSS, except that will be near the top with <link rel="stylesheet" href="styles.css">.

HTML is how the page is laid out. CSS is how the page looks (font sizes, colors, etc). JavaScript is how the page works (interactive features). I'd start with just basic HTML, you're kind of jumping in on the deep end. Codecademy has great (and free) introductory courses that should help you understand what you're looking at better.
