Right.   Basically, if you want dynamic behavior on the client side, you 
need JavaScript.  Remember to provide an alternative for those without 
JavaScript!  (Look up "progressive enhancement" for a good way to do 
this.)

Your first stop should be Doug Crockford's website ( 
http://www.crockford.com ).  In particular, note and follow his 
recommendation to put JavaScript in separate files rather than mixing it 
in with HTML.  If you want a book, I recommend David Flanagan's 
JavaScript: The Definitive Guide; Doug Crockford's JavaScript: The Good 
Parts seems good also.  http://www.javascriptkit.com is a good basic 
language reference.
