Underneath the heading "embedding a PDF file"

embedding a PDF file can be embedded using the <embed> tag or <object> tag only.

NOW READS:
<EMBED src="directions.pdf" width="450" height="400"></EMBED>

For Netscape Navigator users, add the "href" so the PDF file opens when the PDF image is clicked-on.

<EMBED src="directions.pdf" width="450" height="400" href="example1.pdf"></EMBED>

The second example uses "background-position: 100% 0%" (which equates to top right)

The second example HAS BEEN CHANGED to "background-position: 0% 100%"

<script> entry in table

The table says that the <script> tag is covered in chapter 12, but it is covered in
chapter 28.

The <script> entry now references chapter 28, not chapter 12.
