OK, let's run you through the basics around here.

1. Windows is rubbish
2. Linux and OS X are good, but VMS is better
3. I like BMWs
4. Ashton is inscrutable
5. Box is random
6. Grygus can cook
7. Admin is beefs
8. CRC is grammatically correct.
9. Shun Yendor. It's the right thing to do.

Some extra JS info.

JavaScript in and of itself is a complete, capable language with an unusual object model. Wrestling with the language itself is generally pretty minimal. It's sane and orthogonal, for the most part.

However, JavaScript in a web browser uses the Document Object Model (aka the DOM) to do anything useful. Wrestling with the DOM is going to be an ongoing battle. And multiple browsers don't help. Many people conflate the two.

Once you know the basics, then the references at [link|http://www.visibone.com/|http://www.visibone.com/] can be of enormous benefit. The browser developer pages are a little bit of date, unfortunately, but updates are being worked on.

As far as developing goes, don't be afraid to do things the simple way at first, but be alert for finding the shortcuts. However, don't over-optimise. Fortuantely, if you haven't done any other programming, then you won't bring any bad habits to JavaScript programming. Unfortutantely, if you haven't done any other programming, then you can't bring any good habits to JavaScript programming. :-)

Wade.

Is it enough to love
Is it enough to breathe
Somebody rip my heart out
And leave me here to bleed

Is it enough to die
Somebody save my life
I'd rather be Anything but Ordinary
Please
