Re: JavaScript/jQuery Question

W3Schools should be fine for beginning JavaScript - I don't know that 
W3Schools has a JQuery track. You probably want both JavaScript and CSS, 
since JQuery uses CSS-type locators, for lack of a better word. In other 
words, it uses style-sheet ways of identifying things like input text 
boxes and items of a certain class, etc.

You might look up books at www.sitepoint.com - you may have seen Jon 
Paris and Paul Tuohy endorse them, too.
