Anyone that can suggest a good javascript api on the net? With all objects
and functions listed and explanation what they do and how to use them.
An API is but an Application Programming Interface. You are looking for
an API _documentation_. Since the available /host/ interfaces completely
depend on the environment a /script engine/ is used in and script code is
applied on, and languages features on the script engine used itself
(there is no "javascript"), there can be no general API documentation
for "javascript" (in contrast to Java, which is the [Java Runtime]
environment, the engine and the language in one piece).
There is the /ECMAScript/ language standard specification, and there is
documentation for the core languages as widely supported /implementations/
of that language, which are Netscape/Mozilla /JavaScript/ and
Microsoft /JScript/.
There is documentation about the /Application Object Models/ (which
attempted to be standardized now by both the W3C /Web API/ WG and the
WHAT WG), there is the W3C /Document Object Model/ (/DOM/) standard
specification, and there is documentation of the Document Object Models
of /HTML user agents/ (particularly /Web browsers/) that partially
implement that standard (or not) along with /proprietary/ features.
The pointer given by "zman" should be disregarded by you for the time being,
as it has nothing to do with understanding what one is doing; it merely
provides a way so that you *think* you do not have to care about existing
environmental differences, which is not good for a beginner at all.
The pointers given by Cheng Guangnan are OK for learning the core languages
(except of capxous.com which I did not evaluate yet). You will find many
more when reading the newsgroup's FAQ and searching the newsgroup archives
for /key words/.
