im still learning, do you have any experience in other languages ? especially php & action script which are very smiler ? I guess the best advice i could give is to download firefox and enable the dom inspector and error logging, both tools will come in very handy when developing javascript applications.

I got a good start with JavaScript by using HTML Goodies JavaScript primers: http://www.htmlgoodies.com/primers/jsp/article.php/3478531. They're a very good place to start from a beginner's level; though you won't learn the most modern techniques there. Defintely use Firefox and the javascript console to debug your code. But also test in IE - you'd be surprised what kinds of code works in FF but not in IE.
