OK, point made. To be fair, I am probably heavily biased against it due to finding bad books... most of them that I have seen focus on the event handlers, and have only really listed uses such as rollovers, scrolling marques and such. The BEST book I have on JavaScript atm has multiple chapters on doin image rollovers (controlling one rollover from multiple links, controlling multiple rollovers from one link, Using a function to code multiple images with a single rollover, Cycling banners, etc... goes on for almost forever)

Assuming that my bad taste for JS is caused by bad books; What is the cure? Anything out there treat this language as anything but an HTML add-on? O'Reilly looks like it has been mentioned here with every post... I gotta buy stock in that place.
