If you want dead-tree, O'Reilly's JavaScript book is quite good.  My
favorite HTML book was the _HTML_Sourcebook_.  Que's _Using_HTML_ isn't
bad, either.  Netscape had an excellent tag reference and JavaScript
documenation, but I can't find it there anymore.  I've got a local mirror
here:

If you know HTML already, and are just interesting in furthering your
knowledge of the newer tags, this is all you need:

Don't bother with HTML 4.0; it's utter shite.
