Printed | Page 269 Middle of page - <img src |
In the html examples/exercises in chapter 7 (pages 261, 262, 269, 275) you have added a <p> before the <img src ... and then a closing </p> but in all past examples, the <img src ...> isn't between a <p> and a </p>. In earlier exercises and examples in chapter 6, page 229, 234, 235, 236, 237, 240, 243,248, 251, and 253, the <img src> is NOT between a <p> and a </p> and I can't find any content that tells us to change to doing so (unless I missed it and I looked back and forth to see). Which is correct? And at what point did you tell us to start putting the paragraphs tags around the image source? Thank you! Note from the Author or Editor: |

Printed | Page 326 Step 4: add the @font-face property to your CSS |
The url that is used to load the font uses the wickedlysmart.com website. I couldn't get this to work at first and it turns out that my browser (Firefox, also happens on chromium) prevents the font loading as it thinks this is a cross-site scripting violation. I fixed this by creating a folder on my server (called fonts) and downloading the fonts to there, then changing the URL to refer to the server folder. There maybe a way to switch off the cross site scripting error for this specific site in the browser but I am unaware how to do this. Note from the Author or Editor: |

If the figure on the right is correct (which I believe it is), then the figure on the left should mimic it as regards the non-text elements. Namely, the second and fourth paragraphs (fifth and seventh blocks) are missing elements. The second paragraph should include the final "em span em" and the fourth paragraph should include four img elements. (Compare with pp. 479-480.) Note from the Author or Editor: |

Chapter 13 HTMLcross, 3 Down description has a CSS property named "list-item-position"; as far as I can tell, there is no property with that name, certainly not in the chapter. It probably should read "list-style-position". Note from the Author or Editor: |
