Ben--

The basic JavaScript references on the web (such as the langauage summary at devguru.com) will work just fine for learning the fundamental language features (how to assign variables, how to use conditional statements, how to add values to an array, etc.). The only other reference you need is the InDesign CS Scripting Guide--there really aren't any other references on using JavaScript with DTP applications.

Remember--InDesign's JavaScript works *inside* InDesign. The system/browser standard implementation of JavaScript is not what you want.

If you're coming from VBScript, it's really easy, as the two languages are very similar.

Thanks,

Ole
