I'm currently reading _DOM Scripting_ by Jeremy Keith (if it wasn't recommended
recently on this list, it was somewhere
similar a month or so ago) and it's very good. I'm by no means an expert (I
don't even consider myself to have any
design skills at all), but I've found this book chock full of good information.
It may not answer all your questions
but I think it should prove a good start.
good luck,
