new sites are at the bottom of each category. moockmarks are also as a single netscape bookmarks file. (note: right now i'm leaving in dead links for historical purposes. one day i might overhaul everything and add an option to not view dead links.)
- javascript
ecma 262 language specification
- the official ecma-262 language specification from the ecma, the body that maintains the language. javascript and jscript implementations are based on ecma-262. this is a highly technical document used by developers of ecma implemenations to create things such as a conforming ecma interpreter.

- microsoft jscript centre
- microsoft's jscript (that's what they call javascript, or ecma script) information headquarters. includes documentation, reference, tutorials, and news.
this reference is actually kind of useless because it asks you to download the internet sdk or activex control pad to see a full list of objects, methods, and properties in ie's jscript object model. the control pad sucked as a reference tool.

- a list of all objects, properties, event handlers, and methods defined for ie4. full definitions given, and sparse usage examples. no compatibility information.
