+1 for jquery, and for the comment suggesting the javascript book. Javascript and DOM quirks are probably the biggest stumbling blocks if you are already a decent programmer. Douglas Crockford's videos are also worth watching, if you have the time. http://developer.yahoo.com/yui/theater/

+1 for Crockford's lectures. And his website: http://www.crockford.com/javascript/

He's got a new book coming out soon too. I haven't seen it yet, but I imagine it will be pretty good.

"Javascript: The Definitive Guide" (published by O'Reilly) is a good resource as well.
