I like "Teach Yourself JavaScript 1.3 in 24 hours" by Sams Publishing for
three reasons.
(1) Every chapter is a lesson with quiz and exercises at the end.
(2) The examples and lessons implement techniques that you might really
want use in a web page. It even touches on using JavaScript with
stylesheets. In other words, it goes well beyond the "Hello, World"
example.
(3) It breaks the subject matter into small digestible pieces. I found it
very easy to follow without a lot of useless jokes.
You'll definitely need a more sophisticated text like the O'Reilly book
everyone else is raving about. (I think it is great, too). But this is a
great starting point.
