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 & such must be done with precision & 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, & 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.

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