JavaScript to Girl Scouts

I'm reading JavaScript for Dummies and the book self-describes as "a good friend who started at the beginning, learned the ropes the hard way and now wants to help you get up to speed." No kidding. The book is really like a computer geek friend by telling you a bunch of information you're not going to get full-blast, breakneck speed. Not one to give up even while the task is daunting, perhaps it gets more explainatory in later chapters.
So far I've learned that JavaScript has functions and methods and somehow you combine them with event handlers to make an action happen. Confusing to say the least. Well, life is sometimes like that. You get thrown into a situation and have to think on your feet. Different times new equals scary or frightening. But life doesn't have to be like that. Just prepare yourself (the girl scout way) and don't forget the cookies.
