Also, I've been searching for book references online for ECMAScript for the
past two hours and haven't found anything. Were there any books printed for
this or is it just online PDF overviews?


The Ecma-262 r3 specification is very useful for getting more in-depth
understanding to the productions of the EcmaScript language. However,
reading the EcmaScript spec as a starting point might seem boring and
confusing and you probably won't make much progress on your scripting
skills this way.

Probably most scripters self-taught, using combination of learned
programming skills and online references. Doing things and learning
from the experience is usually pretty effective. You can write a
simple script and post it here and get feedback. For example, these
are some basic scripts that you can try:
1) swap images
2) toggle the css display of an element from another element's click
event

You can use:
the DOM Event and Style specs, the HTML 4 spec, the CSS 2.1 spec.
JSLint
HTML and CSS validators
