Using the os x version of 9780596000523, all this does is write the contents of the text
file into the browser window. (-chrome chrome://xfly/content/) ive tried both methods
suggested, dropping the text file on the 9780596000523 icon and changing the file creator
to "MOZZ". Needless to say I still haven't gotten the app to launch using the methods
described. I've had no success using the unix method either, although I'm not sure if
that applies to os X. I have found some errors in my typed files and there was a
parsing error in the xfly.xul file that i corrected. I find that the book was
probably written for Mac OS 9, from what i can tell, the files need to go into the
chrome directory that you can only access as root, seeing as that is where the
installed-chrome.txt file is located. These files need to be either created with a
terminal app like pico or vi or done in a graphical editor and then moved into this
directory from the terminal, neither is a trivial procedure and the book sh!
ould probably mention that.

Third paragraph (paragraph under example) |
In this sentence, should "and be displayed" be "and will be displayed" or "and is
displayed"?
"In Example 3-2, the entity in the header title, &lHeader;, resolves to Languages
and be displayed above the individual preference panel page."

This attribute seems to be missing the quotes around its value. My Acrobat Reader is
also showing it in Italics, for some reason:

(it would appear that) the line should read:

Second example (follow-on to example 3-4) |
In this section of the code, the last label should probably be "Print" instead of
"Open":
<toolbarbutton id="newfileBtn" label="New" oncommand="doNew();" />
<toolbarseparator />
<toolbarbutton id="openfileBtn" label="Open" oncommand="doOpen();" />
<spacer flex="1" />
<toolbarbutton id="printBtn" label="Open" oncommand="doPrint();" />

DirUtils XUL example |
The example contains:
<script type="application/x-javascript" src="chrome://jslib/content/io/dirUtils.js"
/>
This will fail to define DirUtils unless it is preceded by:
<script type="application/x-javascript" src="chrome://jslib/content/jslib.js" />
