Due to backwards compatibility concerns, most of these features still remain. Besides explaining JavaScript, this book tries to be an introduction to the basic principles of programming. As a result, many dubious features crept into these languages. This apprehensiveness is not completely unfounded both JavaScript and HTML were rushed in their early years, and driven by commercial rather than engineering interests. You can read it online here, or buy your own paperback copy. Despite their success, many software engineers are apprehensive about JavaScript and HTML.
