After 4th paragraph |
Book: "HTML5 Canvas"
Chapter: "Chapter 1 - Introduction to HTML5 Canvas"
Section: "Testing to See Whether the Browser Supports Canvas"
Page: 10
====================================================================
The code following the 4th paragraph on page 10 shows a function named "canvasSupport", which reads as:
---
function canvasSupport () {
???return !!document.createElement('testcanvas').getContext;
}
---
There is no tag named "testcanvas" in HTML5.
I believe you mean to create a "canvas" element, and so the code should read:
---
function canvasSupport () {
???return !!document.createElement('canvas').getContext;
}
---
Note that "testcanvas" is replaced by "canvas".
Note from the Author or Editor:
change "testcanvas" to "canvas" |

The end Line 2 on this page refers to Chapter 8 for the Local Storage API when this is actually referenced in Chapter 10.
Note from the Author or Editor:

When the audio element isn?t supported, Modernizr adds a no-audio class to the
header element.
[...]
When the audio element is supported, however, Modernizr adds the audio class to the
header element.
I think it should read in both cases "to the HTML (root) element", instead of header-element.
Note from the Author or Editor:
change "header element" to "<html> element" |

First code sample under "Discussion" |
Book: "HTML5 Cookbook"
Chapter: "Chapter 5 - Native Video"
Section: "5.6 Sample Design: Manipulating Video with <canvas>"
Page: 126
================================================================
The code shown in Discussion has a typo.
A javascript line in the function "generatePreview" has a typo in the parameter passed to "getElementById". The line reads:
var canvas2 = document.getElementById('previewsSm');
The id is actually "previewSm" (which is the id shown for the markup tag "canvas"), and so the line should read:
var canvas2 = document.getElementById('previewSm');
Note from the Author or Editor:
change "previewsSm" to "previewSm" |
