free ebook and tutorial - Diving into JavaScript

If you've read other JavaScript books, you may have had to slog through pages and pages about functions, methods, operands, and so on, before ever learning how to write even the simplest script. As you get into JavaScript, you'll need to understand those concept sand more, but you can start spiffing up your web pages just by diving into JavaScript. That ís what this chapter is about. By the time you've finished, you'll know two handy scripts, one to add descriptive comments to the status bar, and the other to use the time to serve custom pages. More importantly, you’ll understand why the scripts do what they do, and you’ll be ready to wade a little more deeply into JavaScript.
