I humbly disagree... A good technical background in html/css/javascript allows an interaction designer the freedom to prototype interfaces in a much more efficient way. Working with a full-time programmer to prototype can be time consuming and isn't always possible.
If you understand the technology and how it works then you know not only what is and isn't possible, but how systems react and change in a very detailed way. As an interaction designer for the web you need to keep up with interface technologies or you won't know what to design.
