The only JavaScript I've come into contact with, is some automation code our intern put into some of our Acrobat documents. We have some that show/hide fields, total prices, and one really neat one that queries an access database and fills in our 22 page literature order form.

From copying and tweaking his code, I've learned enough to add math to my 1040 forms and that's how I do my taxes every year. I'd like to learn more, but when I go looking for resources, the literature on JavaScript is all web page oriented. Has anyone seen a reference that covers just the basics, or bends more toward DTP applications? If I pick up a book on JavaScripting web applications, will it lead me too far astray?
