Javascript training resources, possibly tailored to cognos use?

[hespora]

Hi there,


so I've put in my head that I want to learn Javascript so that I not only can copy&paste solutions available on the web (eg, I've been using CognosPaul's animated prompts, or Nimrod Avissar's generic Tab solution), but that I can actually understand what's happening in those scripts, or even develop my own.

Seeing as my programming experience is limited to the occasional trial and error with VBA, I don't quite know where to start. Are there resources that you can recommend from your own experiences?

I would note that to manipulate web page content, you are eventually going to need to understand html, css, and the web page document object model (or DOM) which is how the page is structured internally to a web browser. You will find that simple things are simple, but complex things can get very complex and in extreme cases may lead to a temporary loss of sanity.  8)

Hang in there and good luck!
