Step 1 asks to open fadeIn.html....but the third edition zip file doesn't contain a fadeIn.html file like the second edition zip file did. I went ahead and got the fadeIn.html file from the second edition, but it still doesn't work since there is no header element. Instead, there is a div with a class of header, which means that step 6 on page 17 should have $('.header').hide().slideDown(3000); |

It says, "open the file fadeIn.html" but there is no file by this name in the downloaded Chapter One folder. It should say "opent the file slide.html". |

There is no "jsquery.min.js" file included in the downloaded zip file containing the _js directory. I did try using the 1.6.3.min and the 1.7.2.min .js files in its place, but either way, I could not get the slidedown example to work. |

fadeIn.html not in the zip file available from the missingmanuals.com web site. Got the file from the 2nd edition zip file but it needed some modification and I'm not certain that the changes I made were the same envisioned by the author. |

There should not be a semi-colon here. rules inside object literals take commas after them if they are proceeded by additional rules. However, they do not semi-colons. Using the semi-colon causes the tutorial to not work as intended. |

I just want to answer to previous person. On question about remote tabs. For remote tabs to work, you need to run your page on a server or on a local server like: WAMP, MAMP, XAMP etc. And yes, in the book that information is omitted. |
