LinkLib: Programming: JavaScript

JavaScript is very useful for embedding in web pages for the following:

Creating dynamic effects from simple rollovers to DHTML.
For verifying form fields (so that a roundtrip to the server is not needed).

A popular reference book on JavaScript (don't start learning here), is David Flanagan's JavaScript - The Definitive Guide. I've heard that Danny Goodman's JavaScript Bible is good. All JavaScript books will be a outdated when the version 6 browsers adopt the standard DOM, something every JavaScript programmer is eagerly(?) looking forward to. There are some online tutorials at the usual suspects.
