Nearly all of the books about JavaScript are quite awful. They contain
errors, poor examples, and promote bad practices. Important features of
the language are often explained poorly, or left out entirely. I have
reviewed dozens of JavaScript books, and I can only recommend two:
javascript: The Definitive Guide (4th Edition) by David Flanagan and
Dynamic HTML (2nd Edition) by Danny Goodman. Both are from O'Reilly.
The OP should have read the newsgroup FAQ.
I also recommend the Flanagan/O'Reilly Javascript Pocket Reference; it
is much smaller, and therefore handier at a congested desk. The full
Flanagan is better read in a comfortable armchair.
