A friend and I are thinking of starting a web-comic, but nither of us knows the first thing about any of this. Can any one here help? (we have a script, but we don't know how or were to put the comic online.)

there are thousands or websites and thousands of ways to put them online! it can be as simple as uploading your strips to deviant art or as complicated as starting your own site and doing the code yourself.
i started doing webcomics like 8 years ago or something. i'm not claiming to be an authority and i'll admit, i focus more on my comic than on making money from it- but i do know a thing or two. my site is www.crazygoodcomics.com and i do the code myself (tho i did get a template from which I began). comixpress is a good option, too.
there are definitely advantages from hosting with a webcomics host, but having your own domain definitely can make you stand out in the crowd.
also, i'll assume that you're doing at least your letterring digitally, so that helps.
oh and do your comics at 300 dpi, but upload them at 150- that way you have high res for printing but low res for the web.
more specific questions? just ask!

After finding a host, at least in my minimal experience, it's mostly just a matter of scanning and uploading your work. And updating regularly, which has proven to be the most difficult part ;)
