Documentation

[Michael Satterwhite]

I'm looking for online documentation to Javascript. I googled for it, and
found many references. Quite a few of the references point to
developer.netscape.com, but that site refuses connections when I try to go
to it. There's also the Microsoft JScript site, but MS is so prone to put
MS only extensions into their stuff that I don't trust them.

I'm sure there is a good documentation site, but I have no idea how to find
it. Would one of you guru's mind pointing me at one?

You need to go to
http://www.litotes.demon.co.uk/js_in...8_1_Draft.html

and then scroll down and click on part 3.2, and that will give you all
of the documentation that you need.

developer.netscape is down. You may find a copy of the netscape
reference and guide here:

JavaScript is primarily defined by ecma script 262:
http://www.ecma-international.org/pu...T/Ecma-262.pdf

There's also the Microsoft JScript site, but MS is so prone to put
MS only extensions into their stuff that I don't trust them.

The MS references are pretty good for IE stuff:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...ence_entry.asp
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...eReference.asp

For a DOM reference see:
http://www.w3.org/TR/2000/REC-DOM-Le...Core-20001113/
or for the HTML DOM
http://www.w3.org/TR/2001/WD-DOM-Level-2-HTML-20011210/

As Mike Winter pointed out to me just yesterday... the best way to
reference W3C links is to use the one under the "Latest Version"
subheading.

You can identify them easily as there is no date in the URL. Using
these links means you always get the latest version for that level:

<URL:http://www.w3.org/TR/DOM-Level-2-Core/>

and

<URL:http://www.w3.org/TR/DOM-Level-2-HTML/>

Have fun, they are great insomnia cures :-)
