A good book? Isn't this the web?

Here is a site full of tutorials with more info and how to's than any book I've seen on the shelf.

http://webreference.com -site home
http://webreference.com/js -javascript tutorials
http://webreference.com/dhtml -Dynamic html tutorials
http://webreference.com/html - css tutorials

Sorry I can't help with the book, but they may list good new books in the review area of webreference.

Hope this was a little help

As a reference i would recommend: JavaScript Programmer's Reference (includes CD/e-book) by Cliff Wooton, the cdrom contains all possible syntax (functions, methods, properties, what inherits from what etc) and by which browser(version) it is supported.

What about JavaScript: The Definitive Guide, 4th Edition from O'reilly. that any good ?

Personally I learned by reading examples and references. First msdn.microsoft.com has a great reference under dynamic html for all your javascript references. So if you have a peice of code that makes no sense and you want to understand it just pull up the examples. That is the best way to learn simply because you are becoming more interactive with the code and understanding it. They way your not only learning about that example you can brainstorm other ideas from the information you learn. Hope this helps.

P.S: MSDN also shows what version of browser it is compatible with.

I would recommend the JavaScript Bible by Danny Goodman and JavaScript Programmer's Reference by Cliff Wooton
