Here's a key to the markup:
	[page-number]: serious technical mistake
	{page-number}: minor technical mistake
	<page-number>: important language/formatting problem
	(page-number): language change or minor formatting problem
	?page-number?: reader question or request for clarification



Confirmed errors:

(30) Table 3-1, first note under Notes, far right column;
It's = it is
Its = possessive


(81) Second paragraph, second to last line;
It reads: "should kept be separate from the markup."

Should read: "should be kept separate from the markup."


(88) Tip box in margin;
Sentence is incomplete. It reads:

"The class attribute is used to"

Missing word "classify"?


[90] Table 5-4, last line;
"Horizontal ellipses" should be "Horizontal ellipsis."

Reason: Ellipsis is singular and ellipses is plural. All the other descriptions in the table are in 
the singular.


(178) exercise 10-2, step 2;
Sentence reads:

It should come as no surprise that "this page is not HMTL 1.0 Strict."

But we are testing a document for HTML *4.01* Strict validation. Sentence should read:

It should come as no surprise that "this page is not Valid HTML 4.01 Strict."


(263) Sidebar, last paragraph;
Second to last sentence begins as follows: "There there is a workaround..."


(440) Answer to question 2 (top of page);
The answer to question 2 reads:

"The paragraph text will be red because...the last one listed in the style sheet wil be used."

But the last declaration listed in the style sheet in question 2 (found on page 202) is { color: 
gray;} so the answer should read:

"The paragraph text will be gray..."


[441] Answers to question #2;
The question needs to be numbered 2, not 1.


[442]bottom, supposed to go to page 443;
The only answer key for chapter 13 is 13-1. There are no answers for 13-2 and after.
