    I’ve given you the hint more than once and I’ve made edits in your posts hoping to serve as an example... it’s important to make a descriptive title of the situation. There are people who will vote negative just because of this, people who will edit the question to try to improve it. Ah, yes, this question has ended up in the Low Quality Questions analysis queue due to the length, I’m sure you don’t want your name associated with it... If you read in English, this tutorial by Jon Skeet is definitive: Writing the Perfect Question

    @Marcosvinicius: It was precisely because I saw potential for aggregation in your question that I took her to META. In the future, after following what you have seen done when editing your topics, if you are fully aware that what you have written is enough, even if it is negative, ignore it. The people here live with itchy fingers to give a downvote

What we call Javascript is an implementation of ECMASCRIPT (ECMA-262). There are several versions that are being developed. Currently version 5 is implemented in most browsers.

On the website of ECMASCRIPT you can find documentation about Javascript. But it is a very heavy academic format, and nothing guarantees that different browsers apply the code as described and specified there.

Thus the most respected and used source in day-to-day life is the MDN (Mozilla Developer Network) which has a very complete documentation and which has information about the compatibility and implementation of a given native method in the most common browsers. To MDN is a wiki and is actively updated by the community that uses it.

Another important function that the MDN makes available scripts, called Polyfil, that fix or allow functionalities that do not exist in older browsers. A MDN is also an important reference for HTML and CSS.

P s.. - Worth mentioning our wiki here at Sopt!
It is a page that has general information about Javascript and important links to learn and learn more about the language.
