In this instance, I think I'd probably learn faster with sample scripts instead of full-on beginner tutorials.  When I see the commands and their functions in the sample scripts, I'll be able to relate that to my past "dated" knowledge.  Sure, it won't be spot-on accurate, but at least it will give me a starting point and I can troubleshoot from there.

That's understandable since Javascript was original purpose was intended to be used in conjunction with HTML.

I'll check that out as well.

Will do.  Thanks for the info!
