Where to find JavaScript documentation?

I think theres one https://developer.mozilla.org/en/JavaScript/Reference but for for things like what properties/functions a Textarea object will have, where can I get it?

I know textarea have properties like selectionStart, selectionEnd but what others? where can I find that info?

The Gecko DOM Reference is pretty complete.

For the dark side (IE-specific stuff), there's also Microsoft's HTML and DHTML Reference

And for cross-browser advice, consult QuirksMode (thanks Raynos)

If you need to know anything about javascript

Search for it in google and add the word "mdc" on the end. I personally find the internal MDC search bar annoying and unhelpful.

in your case :

https://developer.mozilla.org/en/DOM/HTMLTextAreaElement

[Edit]

I actaully do this for everything. For example rather then wading through the MSDN website if I need to know anything about a transact sql command. I search for the command in google and add "t sql msdn". If only people used the google search engine internally on their websites rather then their own half baked search engine.
