Safari Books Online | 3 3rd paragraph |
(since I am reading the Safari online book edition I cannot provide an accurate page number. Sorry about that) Here is an extract from the Safari book online edition: "Whatever the motivation, the first question is always the same: Chapter 1 It may seem like there is a mountain of stuff to learn, and it’s not easy to know where to jump in. But you have to start somewhere." I guess that the word "chapter1" is actually an alias that must be replaced with the chapter title. i.e. : "Where do I start?". Note from the Author or Editor: |

The fallback image code given will not work. It combines the long form for image background (background-image) with the shorthand value list. To test, I removed all the code below the fallback code, and no image appeared. The fallback code needs to be written as "background: url(images/purpledot.png) center top repeat-x;" in keeping with the shorthand style for the values. Note from the Author or Editor: |

Well, this isn't really an important language problem, but in the second sentence of this paragraph, it appears that "the width attribute" should be "the width property" instead, as the term refers to part of a CSS style rule, not part of an HTML element. p.s.to Jennifer: Many thanks for writing this excellent book.

In the innerHTML example, we want to add a paragraph of text to the first element on our page with a class of intro. The example given introDiv.innerHTML = "<p>This is our intro text</p>"; should be introDiv[0].innerHTML = "<p>This is our intro text</p>"; Because the method selects all the items with class intro and inserts them into an array, we need to denote the array member on which the innerHTML property is applied.

Safari Books Online | 600 Fourth table - Pseudo class Selectors (Appendix B). |
Hi, provided that I have only access to the "Safari Books Online" edition, I just can't provide an accurate page number for the issue. I've typed in 600, because it is approximatively in the end. More precisely it is located in the Appendix B (CSS3 Selectors) in the fourth table, titled "Pseudo-class selectors". If you look at the line referencing the ":first-of-type" selector, the produced example is "dt:only-of-type {font-weight: bold;}". It is expected, I guess, to have an example referencing ":first-of-type" here. :-) If you look in the line referencing the selector ":only-of-type" the issue is the same kind, but reversed with ":first-of-type". Also: I did not take the time to check every item on this page. Regards Yves Note from the Author or Editor: |
