I am looking for an equivalent to the php.net manual (http://us3.php.net/manual/en/) but for javaScript methods and syntax.

Is there a single site that lists out all the javaScript functions available in a clear and concise manner as php.net provides for the PHP language?

Mozilla Developer Central with its Core JavaScript Reference is a good resource. But as JavaScript is object-oriented, the reference is object-oriented too and there is no overview of all functions/methods.

And if you want to did deeper into how JavaScript works, I recommend to read the ECMAScript specification, the standardized language dialects like JavaScript and JScript are derived from.

Mozilla's reference is pretty good, although it's structured in a different way than php.net. That page lists classes and global functions, at least, but it doesn't touch upon the DOM. (Which, technically speaking, isn't part of JavaScript of course.)

The DOM references are elsewhere on MDC: https://developer.mozilla.org/en/DOM

This one is worth taking a look at http://www.w3schools.com/JS/default.asp. This offers JavaScrpt, DOM and examples all together which makes life easy.

W3Schools is really very poor quality. It was the best of a bad bunch in the 90s, but it isn't something to recommend today.
