This question is like asking “Can I learn to drive without knowing how to drift”.

CSS manipulation is only one tiny fragment that javascript can do and it isn’t really necessary to learn css to learn javascript.

However, if you’re a bit new and aren’t doing crazy stuff like using backbone.js or node.js or something, then would say knowing css would be important.

HTML/CSS manipulation is a great way for someone to start knowing the ins and outs of javascript.

TL,DR: CSS not important in learning javascript as a whole, but a great way to start learning.
