The best way I learn anything is by practice and exercise questions. Right now looking at getting familiar with javascript. I did some basic exercises , but am unable to find more on the internet.

Can you people give me some questions to practice and learn javascript. Nothing complicated, just one liners would do.

Example: "increase the size of an image gradually on mouseover." This example I thought for myself, but am struggling to think of more examples . I am bad at thinking for myself I guess.

I have marginal experience in C# and java . Reason for learning javascript : to be able to write some firefox extensions

Thanks

Edit: I am looking for simple exercises

As Yi Jiang suggested in the comments, you can take a look at the [Javascript] or [jQuery] SO tags, and not look at the answers.

I made a web app just for this. It's pretty rough at the moment, but it does let you browse SO questions without looking at the answers (then you can reveal the answers with a click).

Browse the SO [Javascript] tag in "flashcard" mode

For the SO [jQuery] tag in "flashcard" mode
