If you're looking for a fast, but thorough, intro to Javascript, I recommend Douglas Crockford's "The Javascript Programming Language" video, which can be seen in four parts over at Yahoo Video: http://video.yahoo.com/search/?p=crockford+javascript&t=video
Here's a link to part 1: http://video.yahoo.com/watch/111593/1710507 Crockford's book "Javascript: The Good Parts" is also quite wonderful. -E On Dec 12, 9:51 am, "Rick Faircloth" <[email protected]> wrote: > Thanks for the re-write, Hobo!
