Where can I find a complete JavaScript reference of the language? I need every possible corner of the language.

viewtopic.php?t=22767&highlight=ecmascript may be of interest. .. or you could buy O'Reilly's Javascript book.

You might look at http://www.w3schools.com/. I don't know how detailed they get, but they certainly have good coverage on many things.

Yes I seen W3's pages on JavaScript. This ecma looks interesting (provided by feyd). But it's not quite what I'm looking for. I need something more "user friendly" i.e search, lists, alphibetical order, ect. Something that's html with links cuz adobe is just like a book or something. Anyways thought, good stuff.

Does the JavaScript book by O'reilly cover every corner so to speak of javascript? I've seen the JavaScript bible at my local barns and noble and wonder the same thing. if it does then it would be worth the 50 bucks, but if not I'd might give them second thoughts.

It covers most things in pretty fine detail. It's more standards compliant code, but it does have some browser specific parts and references too.

DevGuru's Javascript pages are a decent reference too. Most Javascript references I've seen don't go into much, if any, detail on certain subjects like XPath and Ajax. Mostly because they aren't really apart of the DOM (or are fairly recent additions.)

The references I use myself when coding JS is: developer.mozilla.org & msdn.microsoft.com. Most of the time they either contain the information I need, or provide links to it.
