How was this page made: (http://www.adultswim.com/shows/index.html). Is it all javascript? Do the javascripts used have familiar names I can do a google search for? Would creating this page be "easy?" Could a novice do it or would you need to be pretty knowledgeable?

You can find out how a web page was made by looking at its source code. This site is made with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. However, it’s not the best approach they used since the website relies on JavaScript and isn’t working at all without (it shows a plain “This site requires JavaScript” message) which is bad practice.

Yes, in order to create something like this you have to be experienced with (semantic (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semantic_HTML)) HTML, CSS, and (unobtrusive (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unobtrusive_JavaScript)) JavaScript plus have knowledge about progressive enhancement (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Progressive_enhancement).

My motto is: know what you do and do it properly right away or pay someone to do it.

Presumably you would not attempt to service or repair (let alone manufacture!) a machine or appliance without any experience or understanding of how it worked. If (as I deduce) you know little or nothing about coding, then I would say - forget the idea.

You can simply check its codes using Firebug:

Yes. It used HTML, CSS and Javascript. Why did you asked? are you interested in putting up a website like that?
