not what I had hoped for

So I’m finally working my way through Unobtrusive Javascript, after linking to it at least twice…and I’m not happy.
* A few of the examples are wrong, or at least not entirely cross-browser (the siblings were driving me nuts).
* The examples are in very tight shorthand syntax.
I think I’m realizing that this is aimed very much at people who already know the basics of JavaScript and who need unlearning or relearning. Me? I’ve never had to do that much JavaScript, in all honesty; mostly I’ve gotten away with borrowing & modifying. So I don’t have the basic structure of the language in my head the way I do with CSS & PHP.
It’s been very frustrating, although I will say even with that, I’ve learned quite a bit already. Now I’m just looking for a little bit better teaching tool.
