There *technically* is only one type of javascript - so I would suggest
learning that one - there is a great beginners primers series at
htmlgoodies.com. Other than that do a Google search for Javascript
tutuorial.

The script you should be looking to learn is called ECMAScript.

To simplify
Javascript was designed for use in netscape brwsers.
Microsoft created Jscript for its browsers.

Although the scripts are very similar - there are subtle differences.

ECMAScript is the common ground between the two and should be valid on all
browsers.

However, finding ecmascript tutorials sint easy, try learning javascript at
www.w3schools.com.

Good Luck

Simon

Unfortunately, that is not true.

I took there quiz. The first question I got asked referred to tags, and the
answer they wanted was <script> no type attribute, not even the deprecated
langauge attribute.

Another dealt with navigator.appName Yuck!

If what they are teaching is <script>, changing my status bar, alerts, and
window.open, all without the usual warnings for such things, then its not, IMO,
a "good tutorial".
