The intention is not to teach these students JavaScript - they are incapable of it. Getting them to do anything in code (as opposed to the menus of Dreamweaver) is a minor miracle.
I'm trying to teach them web design - and I'm trying to get them to use "proper" JavaScript as opposed to Macromedia JavaScript - we only have 6 hours of class time to cover JavaScript/DHTML, so we don't get too far into it.
