My reference for this kind of stuff is http://w3schools.com , a bit light on examples, but a good reference if you just need to know the syntax.

The web has lots of practical examples and API documentation, but it's fragmented information. This book gives you a thorough, cohesive understanding of the language.

It is embarrassing to have to admit that I'm only halfway through a book as compact as JavaScript: The Good Parts. But so far it is a very good book.

The Web Developers Handbook is also pretty useful http://www.alvit.de/handbook/index.php
