Welcome.
Notes: Javascript is good for live interaction on a page. PHP is good for server side stuff, like databases, form processing, dynamically created pages, etc.

Yeah, we understand that, but just for someone who's starting probably doesn't. The general way to learn a programming language is to either get a book on it (sometimes 30-60 CAD), or an online tutorial. Use Google to search for these tutorials, and BTW, online tutorials are usually free

Also, the best way to learn is practice. Just do stuff and see what happens. (But be sure to learn the right way while you do so.)

Hello. Plug, play, scratch head, ask. Begin again. That's how I learned.

Yep.
But... the issue is not following standards, which can be a problem in some cases... depends how deep you get into it. (Especially with cross browser support for javascript)

Well, for me, that kind of problem comes under the "ask" situation

I like standards, have come to like them. I will still go for what works as long as anyone I'm working with on 'it' finds that acceptable. From scratch, standards just make life easier. Often in the forums we aren't working from scratch. In fact, we are often working with folks who would rather not go to the 'trouble' of validating their work. I will also take 'what works' over standards when they don't work.
When you are just learning though, best to learn how to do things right first. When and if that doesn't work out for you, then it is time to learn a few questionable tricks.
My bottom line is though, "Make it do what you want it to do." This is useful in a great many fields of endeavor.
