JavaScript References
Now that Netscape's JavaScript reference material appears to be gone, what are people using for online resources? Once I discovered DevEdge was no more, I resorted to some old-fashioned paper-based O'Reilly books. Today I started using Google to find some new online resources, and I'm surprised by how hard good ones are to come by. Any favorites?

Somebody in Australia recreated some of it as a sidebar for Firefox. It includes stuff for CSS 1 and 2, the DOM, HTML, XSL and more.
You can check it out by saving this URL as a bookmark, and checking the 'view in sidebar' option in it's properties:

I primarily use Danny Goodman's Javascript Bible. I pretty much leave the cd loaded all the time and just pull up the pdf when I need it. Being able to search through the text is great.
I find I use the cd more than the actual book. It's so large and cumbersome.
Currently i'm using the gold edition which is a little out of date. The current edition is on my list of things to get at Amazon. http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0764557432/ref=wl_it_dp/002-5146181-5720060?%5Fencoding=UTF8&coliid=IJULLDIZF85L2&v=glance&colid=29HEJ3VAXMPIW

I usually hit DevGuru (www.devguru.com) which is a Microsoft dev shop that happens to have a pretty nice online JavaScript reference. You can also purchase a copy for local browsing for like $5 or something.

I find this handy from time to time: http://www.webreference.com/js/
Also.. I have gotten so accustomed to using qforms when issues creep up that I need to solve the problem is usually just search in google which turns up someone who solved the same problem or something similar enough by which I can get an answer.
This is also useful, although I haven't used it in awhile.. it was in my favorites, in the wrong folder!
