I'm tired of muddling myself through writing JavaScripts. Any suggestions on a comprehensive, approachable, example-based JavaScript primer? The things I've seen online are usually pretty weak.

Web-site or print-edition suggestions welcome. Thanks in advance.
 
Java and JavaScript are not the same thing.

That said, the Visual QuickStart Guide from Peachpit Press is a good starting point. If you need a reference, O'Reilly has JavaScript in a Nutshell.
 
I cannot help you, except by giving you a piece of advice which might enhance your google results: JavaScript has nothing to do with Java, except by its unfortunate name. One is a scripting language, the other is programming language aimed at totally different purposes.
 
Java and Javascript

I'm not as new to JavaScript (which has nothing to do with the the Java programming language, I know 🙄 ) as my post seems to have made me seem.

I know enough to follow and alter other people's code to suit my purposes. But it's a arduous process for me. I can do light programming in basic, visual basic and C, but what I know of program design is very different from the thought processes that go into, say, dhtml scripting.

I'm looking for a guide that will teach me proper script design so I won't be so dependent on what I can scavenge from other's scripts.
