my Q is - can all web hosts work with javascript. Or is it the case that web hosts have to be specifically enabled for it - such as with perl etc.

JavaScript is a client side technology, which means it runs in your browser. There is no connection between the webhost and JavaScript. Most browsers allow the user to switch off Javascript or control it (like firefox).
the script itself is embeddded into your html pages and is processed by the browser.

It might be worth mentioning that it is not a good idea to rely on javascript. Certainly use it, but make sure your pages work if the client doesn't have javascript (like search engine spiders, character cell browsers, and people with it turned off).
