Well, I also recommend you get a teacher. But if you only want to play for fun and not seriously, you can learn the notes on your own:
http://www.musictheory.net/ teaches you about the clef, the notes, etc, etc.
www.theviolinsite.com/ has video.audio aid for beginning and more advanced violinists.

I'm afraid I really can't suggest any site to help you. You might try 8notes.com, but even then. Violin is an extremely difficult instrument where movements in bowing and such must be done with precision and a musical ear must be acquired during the learning process (there are no frets, after all, to help locate notes), so I do not recommend attempting to learn it on your own. I was going to when I first started, but believe me, had I done it, I would have given up after a month or so. I still don't have it anywhere near mastered, and I had a great teacher when I was able to have lessons. I strongly advise you get some sort of music teacher to help you along the way. Good luck.
