recommended javascript books/tutorials/howtos?

hi,

i'd like to increase/enhance my javascript knowledge, which
right now is 
  rather limited (zero?) 

so, are there are books/websites you can recommend?

i'm primarily interested in the application of javascript
to the 
webpages, so DOM manipulation and things like that.

of course i am also interested in learning about the
object-model of 
javascript and things like that, but what i'm lacking right
now is the 
knowledge about the javascript-webpage interaction.

thanks,
gabor

There is a website focus on events that occurs in ajax and
javascript
world, you can take a look.

I'ld have a look at "JavaScript - The Definitive
Guide" by David 
Flanagan [1].

An in dept overview of the language and at the same time a
complete 
reference.

In my JS-learning-days I always had it with me, used it
daily.

Aside from the usual book recommendations, I suggest you go
get dojo.

That's the largest body of well-written javascript I've
ever seen. 
Read that code and ask questions on the mailing list.

Seconded. Reading this book will make you understand
JavaScript on a
deep level, and then doing web stuff with JavaScript just
becomes a
matter of learning the DOM API, which is documented in the
book and
online.

And don't let the 2001 publication date fool you; this book
is still
very relevant.

I have found this absolutely indispensable:


http://www.visibone.com/products/cardcollection.html

It includes lots of other web stuff (or you can just buy the
JS sheets), 
and it has compatibility information for all the major
browsers (even 
including Konqueror) for everything in it. I could rave all
day about 
it...

  I have heard good things about this book:

http://domscripting.com
/book/

  I use the O'Reilly pocket reference all the time at home
and work, and 
it is very good (and cheap too):

http://www.amazon.com/gp/pr
oduct/1565925211/102-7652808-2130539?v=glance&n=283155

  On the web, I use this as a quick reference:

http://www.devguru.com/technologies/javascript/home.asp

  (note that it is missing the Node and Element objects, so
the pocket 
reference book trumps it)

  Best regards,
  Graham.
