Don't know about online, but definitely check out Edwin Pulleyblank's "An Outline of Classical Chinese Grammar."

It's concise, well written, and has excellent explanations and examples. Easily the best around to start out with. Best of luck!

Edit:

If you're looking for something in Chinese that's super comprehensive, I'd go for 王力's 《古代漢語》. It's an entire textbook series with guided excerpts, so it's not for the faint of heart, but if you can slog through it you'll be at college level Classical Chinese.

this book is absolutely essential for anyone at least somewhat serious about understanding classical chinese http://www.amazon.com/Outline-Classical-Chinese-Grammar-Pulleyblank/dp/0774805412
