2nd capiter on German translation "Websites erstellen"

First its about the german translation "Websites erstellen".
Einleitung page 5.
The link that is mentioned under "Herunterladbare Beispiele" is not complete. The link should be: http://examples.oreilly.de/german_examples/websitesmmger/beispiele.zip

But in the book the last part "beispiele.zip" is missing, and the link is not working.

1st Paragraph

In the section on the Web browser Safari it states that, "Safari is the only browser in this list that's limited to Macs." I am not sure if Mac has just changed that since the latest edition of the book, or the book just didn't update that with it's latest publishing but if you follow the link http://www.apple.com/downloads/ you will see that Safari is now compatible with both Mac and PCs.

"Browser plug-ins" paragraph

In the last sentence, you refer readers to www.orsinal.com. The site looks like another one of those fake search-result sites (for want of a better description). Has the site gone AWOL since you last recommended it?

Paragraph below the TIP box.

The statement "Unfortunately,if you implement this design using a single frames page, that isn't possible". "... you can change only a single frame." is not true. There is a simple solution to this by using the ONLOAD attribute to ensure that the new "topics list" and "new content page" are both loaded. No javascript is required and I have been using this technique/ design for over 10 years.
