Help file for javascript

[Nicholas]

Hello,

I'm a Javascript beginer. The resources on the Internet are enormus. Does
anyone know is there somethinh like a help file or something similar that
incluedes only a list of commands, short description of what each does and a
syntax example. So not a book, something like a dictionary.

If anyone is old enoug to know i'm searching something like help from
borland turbo C++ 3.

Thank you.

That would be called a language reference book. I prefer having a pure
reference book than the full blown how-to/tutorial/etc book.

http://www.devguru.com/technologies/JavaScript/home.asp is pretty good.

He-he... I worked for Borland... so I guess I''m old enough.

I haven't seen a JavaScript HLP file in many a moon. At least not an
updated one.

That site seems to be based on the Mozilla implementation of
JavaScript 1.5 rather than a more generic resource for ECMAScript
Language Ed 3. I'd suggest the OP get a copy of the ECMAScript
specification and whenever tempted to use something from Devguru (or
the Mozilla developer site or any other javascript "reference") a
check should be made to see if it's part of ECMAScript or peculiar to
some particular implementation.

Incidentally, the MozDev pages provide the same information with
examples (but still without identifying what is and isn't ECMAScript
compliant):
