Chris,
The MLA site is a good one, but I've also used the website
supporting a St. Martin's reference book called Online: A
Reference Guide to Using Internet Sources. (It's the handbook I
require my students to get). It will give you detailed examples
for all sorts of electronic media and Internet materials. You
can access the Online website at
<http://www.bedfordstmartins.com/online/>. Another helpful site
is Diane Hacker's Research and Documentation Online at
<http://www.smpcollege.com/hacker/resdoc/>. Both sites have
extensive examples in the MLA, APA, Chicago, and Council of
Biology Educators (CBE) styles. I might also modestly add that
I've put together a website for online documentation at
<http://cwolf.uaa.alaska.edu/~afdtk/docprimer.htm>.
Hope this is helpful.
