Good news: web tech has grown up a lot over the years. Much of what used to require JavaScript is now handled more easily in CSS and HTML.
In recent HTML versions, a form's input element has a lot more attributes than in the olden days:

The one you're looking for here is the "required" attribute - you can explore how it prevents form submission unless a field is filled in here:

If a field requires a specific pattern to the input data, you can use Regex to define that in the input element's "pattern" attribute:

If you're looking to brush up on newer HTML and CSS features, Kevin Powell's channel is among my faves, worth watching a least a few of his vids to see how things on the web have been evolving lately:
