The "Java Script Bible" is one of the few technical books that live up to its title. It starts with the author's view of Java Script's role in the Internet, some of the challenges of dealing with the different browsers, and writing your first Java Script. This section is followed by an extensive tutorial. The tutorial covers browsers and document objects, HTML Documents, programming variables, expressions, data type conversions, decisions structures and loops, functions, arrays and windows objects. No area is left uncovered from the DOM model to Cascading Style Sheets, to XML. The book ends with a detailed section on the core language reference.
The book has examples of work-arounds for bugs, example scripts (most of which are also included on the enclosed CD-ROM). There are other excellent books available but none cover all the details of Java Script to the extent this book does. This is the most highly recommended book on Java Script that I have read to date - an absolute must on any Java Script programmer's bookshelf.
Rating: - The best JavaScript book on the market
The best JavaScript book on the market, now also covering IE5+, NN6 and W3C DOM browser topics are covered in detail.
There is a lot of content here, almost too much and it may even be hard to find. I think Goodman reached the point where splitting everything into two different books could make more sense. One nasty downside is that eight chapters are available only from the CD

I have started java programming with Core Web Programming by Marty Hall, and this was excellent book to start with.
However, after I finished book I was akin for more information and details. Then I bought this book which covers not only the JavaScript but whole DHTML, CSS, DOM, HTML.
Book is excellent and it is very worth of buying. If offers many many information about programming CSS HTML. However I would recomend buying it together with Marty Hall's book since the first one gives you good overview of the other tehcnologies not mentioned here (JSP, Servlets) - if you are interested in...
Rating: - The prefect book for those new to programming
I find this the perfect book for anyone new to any type of programming. This book has the perfect pace for a beginner. Anyone a bit more experienced can skim through the book though and find what all the important parts.
For javascript, I find this to be the only book i need. It has all the references I need when scripting. For learning java and for reference, I find this to be very, very, helpful.

I only own 1 javascript book - This One!
Why do I only own 1?
Well this one is written by one of the most (publicly) knowledgeable JavaScript authors on Earth - Danny Goodman - and comes with a commendation from Brendan Eich (the guy who created JavaScript).
That, a healthy imagination and a desire to learn are good enough for me :-)
