A Simple, Clean DOM Reference
<p> No matter what your Javascript skill level, there’s times when you just need some good, quality documentation to look to. Unfortunately, a lot of the materials out there covering the DOM in Javascript are overbearing and sometimes just plain confusing.Thankfully, there is a bit of hope out there and it comes in the form of this handy set of pages on JavascriptKit.com. They reference the different elements, attributes, and styles you can work with in Javascript, all divided up into nice, simple categories:
- Window
- Document Object
- Elements Object
- Event Object
- Style Reference
Several of the items in each list also include HTML/code examples to get you started. The Event Object interface page even includes a “NS Equivalent?” and “IE Equivalent?” columns to help make cross-browser issues happen a little less often.

Been using krook.org, for some time. Works great for me.
I use w3schools !! It’s a great site for Web development !
The Gecko DOM Reference is also a good bookmaek, with plenty of links to the specs at W3C.
