Can anyone give me a link, or anything, pertaining to "excercises," or
ideas for scripts to write that will help me get my head around
Javascript ... that will teach me good technique and get me into the
flow of writing it. I have my head around the basic concepts and can
write small scripts but I don't really, currently, have the opportunity
to
write a lot of it. Thanks.

Dream up one of your own. Seriously, just dream up projects. Or, look in the archives of this group. Start by reading the first post in the thread, don't read any following posts. See if you can write the solution code on your own (research is allowed, but reading followup posts won't help you). Then read the follow-ups and learn from them. When you have specific questions, post them.

Even try answering some of the newer posts. If you get it right, kudos. If you get it wrong, someone will bash you on the head with a concrete block for being wrong but don't let it discourage you. Read through the criticisms of your code and take them constructively.

Stay away from "tutorial sites". They are junk for the most part.
