Yeh, curiosity, professional, blah blah. There is only one skill needed: code. If you want to be a web developer, start doing it. If you like it, keep doing it. You win. If not, you still win, just at another game. When you finish the project you are working on, …

These problems have been solved by others. Use jQuery or one of the other javascript libraries. If your interest is primarily the learning process, read the jQuery (or other) source code. Stand on the shoulders of giants.
