How interesting is the page of a book? If the main idea is to present
content to the user, the packaging doesn't have to be extravagantly
spectacular. Now, if your website has a purpose other than this and you
wish to spice things up a bit, html is not going to do it because it
simply wasn't designed to provide the special effects that indeed may
please many a wandering surfer.
Once a page is basically sound in its html and css, however, something
like javascript can provide lots of bells and whistles for those into
bangledeshery.
