Chris,

Here's a snippet I've used to have PHP and JavaScript communicate via 
cookies.  View it with Firefox so the HTML doesn't get parsed:

As for books, these have served me well and are highly rated at Amazon as 
well.  All are O'Reilly books:
JavaScript: The Definitive Guide (the Rhino)
JavaScript & DHTML Cookbook
Dynamic HTML: The Definitive Reference 

HTH,
-Dan
