JavaScript : BooksIntelligent Web Sites with JavaScript
Ford's book is aimed at folks who want to add interactivity to web sites with JavaScript. The first half of the book consists of three chapters: obtaining information from users, processing information to add value, and communicating results. Providing good reference value, Ford uses a structure of a desired "action" followed by "how-to-do-it" instructions. His general actions, for which most people will have some use, include prompting the reader for information and using a text box. The second half of the book discusses problem-solving, storing knowledge, pattern matching, game playing, dynamic HTML, and JavaScript. This is an excellent book for beginners, who can advance into very complex design considerations in the later chapters. This book shows developers without programming experience the easy way to create intelligent applications and increase interactivity. Covering both the client and server aspects of JavaScript.

Official Netscape Javascript Book
Official Netscape Javascript 1.2 Book: The Nonprogrammer's Guide to Creating Interactive Web Pages, Second Edition, by Peter Kent and John Kent and under the Netscape Press umbrella, offers fairly complete coverage of the JavaScript language. If you are already familiar with Java, you'll only have to bone up on the basic user interface functions (alert, prompt, confirm), the basic JavaScript objects, (window and document) and their methods, and a few new string-handling functions (dealing with generating HTML and specifying fonts). If you are starting from a background in C, however, you'll need to become familiar with the different syntax for I/O and string manipulation, the limited object hierarchy, and a different event handling (which will be found to be easier than C++ and much easier than the Windows SDK). Experienced programmers will be interested in the advanced features that this book covers.

Automatic Bookmark Script
Use this "bookmark this page" script to add a bookmark to Internet Explorer's Favorites. Unlike most other bookmark scripts, this one automatically grabs the page title and url when creating the bookmark, so there is no need to set variables for these manually for every page. The script also allows you to set a message to be displayed for non IE browsers like Netscape for which you might give instructions on how to bookmark instead.

Credit Card Validation Script
This script checks credit card numbers and expiration dates for validity. You should note that only the format of the expiration date is checked with this script-it doesn't check whether or not the card has actually expired. This script is free to use as long as you don't change any of the comments in the JavaScript source file. If you do not enter a credit card number or expiration date that is formatted correctly it will prompt a popup dialog box that says the credit card has an incorrect number of digits, or includes characters other than numbers that are not allowed. While this script doesn't actually check if a credit card is completely valid or not, it does help limit some of the common mistakes that customers might enter into your forms.
