Dreamweaver CS3: The Missing Manual by David Sawyer McFarland This errata page lists errors outstanding in the most recent printing. If you have technical questions or error reports, you can send them to booktech@oreilly.com. Please specify the printing date of your copy. This page was updated June 18, 2008. Here's a key to the markup: [page-number]: serious technical mistake {page-number}: minor technical mistake : important language/formatting problem (page-number): language change or minor formatting problem ?page-number?: reader question or request for clarification Confirmed errors: {10} 3rd paragraph, last sentence; The word BACKSLASH should be FORWARD SLASH to be consistent with what is on p#7, 4th paragraph, last sentence. {20} end of third paragraph; Hovering the mouse over the file name in the title bar does nothing on my iMac, I have to press Command and click on the file name to see where the file is located. This also occurs on page 48 Fig.1-21 midway through the paragraph True for page 20, not for Figure 1-21: On page 20 change: “if you hover your mouse over the file name—index.html, for example—you’ll see the location of that file on your Mac.” To “if you command-click the file name—index.html, for example—you’ll see a drop down menu with the complete path to that file on your Mac.” FIGURE 1-21: Actually is correct, but only applies to the tabs that appear when more than one document is open. You might want to bold “document tabs” in the callout for that figure to emphasize that point. {31} 8. 3rd paragraph; Wrong chapter reference. It says : "For more on root folders and organizing Web sites, see chapter 14." It should refer to Chapter 15 ("Introducing Site Management") (52) 6th paragraph (Number 11); The last "Dreamweaver" is spelled wrong. (58) Step 6; "Copyright" is misspelled "Copryight" {130} top of page, 3rd line down; Step 2 says Choose File --> Check Browser Compatibility I think it should say Choose File --> Check Page --> Browser Compatibility {157} Figure 5-2; The three links in the figure illustrate how to link pages in different parts of the website. Link number 2 is supposed to illustrate a linkage from the page horoscopes.html to the page pisces.html, according to the text on page 158. However, the link is shown as connecting the link to the horoscopes folder, and not to the horoscope page. {228} Item 8; I was following the instructions to create an image mapped with multiple Hot Spots. But, when following the instructions at point 8 on page 228, it says for each additional hot spot (on a single image), repeat steps 2 through 7. Actually, it should say steps 3 through 7. There is ONLY ONE MAP NAME per image, and when I tried to do step 2 for each additional hot spot, it just renamed the map to a different name. So, the text of the book is misleading. A SINGLE MAP Name (that needs to be entered only once) will suffice for multiple hot spots, where each hot spot point with a different geometry and link. Here's the code from a map with 3 hot spots, and note that it has ONLY ONE MAP NAME: FirstHotSpot SecondHotSpot ThirdHotSpot {266} 3rd Paragraph; The first sentence reads "If you split a cell into columns, everything in the cell winds up in the left column, with the new, empty column or columns to the left." It seems like it should read "If you split a cell into columns, everything in the cell winds up in the left column, with the new, empty column or columns to the RIGHT." You can't have all the content and the new blank column both on the left! {361} step 7; the footer moves to the right, not the left {475} Tip, top of page; The text ".CollapsiblePanel:focus" should be ".CollapsiblePanelTab:focus". {758}, step 1: "Download the software at www.living-e.com/products/MAMP-PRO/download.php" the URL has been changed. it should be: http://www.mamp.info/en/download.html {766} Text within item 7; You describe the path to the cosmo_shop testing site as: C:\Program Files\xampp\cosmo_shop. That didn't work, and I spent time trying to figure out why. The correct path is: C:\Program Files\xampp\htdocs\cosmo_shop {771} Loading a Database; It would be helpful to let the reader know to start up Apache and MySQL before proceeding with step 1. OK “1. Make sure you’ve started up XAMPP (page 757) or MAMP (page 759), then in any Web browser…” [819] Step 2.; In step 2 of page 819, you mentioned "Click on the + button; from the pop-up menu, choose Go To Detail Page." I could not find the "Go to Detail Page" option. Could it be named something else? ONLY available for ASP and JSP as mentioned in NOTE on page 818. {836} Below item 16; Your sentence says, "To see the results of your hard work, open the products.php page. It should say to open the "index.php" page, because THAT is where the links are, not the products.php page.
