location 1016 of 13624
Section in Bold Discussing Character Encoding |
I have two valuable pieces of input, the 2nd being most valuable. :)
I am reading HTML5 The Missing Manual on my Kindle. I am in the Bold Sections called Character Encoding and the Kindle says I am in Location 1016 of 13624.
This section explains how you need to format the meta tag within the html document as utf-8
in such as way as
<meta charset="utf-8" >
but if I remember correctly the W3C validator seems to prefer
<meta charset="utf-8" />
More importantly though is the following issue, which I believe clarification on would be incredibly valuable and helpful to readers:
Today is May 4th, 2013.
I recently had a problem with an HTML5 document getting extra warning regarding the utf-8 when using the validator html tool page.
I finally solved the problem.
The Notepad program on my Windows OS could not seem to solve the issue.
I discovered that Sublime Text 2 Editor allows me to save my index.html file with encoding in the saving options menu.
When I specifically select save with encoding as utf-8 without bom or no bom or no signature as some other web dev.s have called it, then upload the file to the server and test it on W3C validator again, the
warnings/error regarding the utf-8 go away! YAY!
Thank you so much for your time, and I really hope this piece of advice helps some other developers out there! :)
I discovered Sublime Text 2 Editor thanks to an instructor from the W3C website advertised seminar that is being held this summer about HTML5, and the instructor has a page that tells potential sign-ups what tools, resources and software he recommends that they have to get the most out of his course.
Although I can't afford the time or money for the course, I definitely appreciated his recommendation of Sublime Text Editor 2!
Thanks again for creating all of your incredible books!
I love them!

In discussing the differences between <b> and <strong, and <i> and <em> an example is given along with a representation of the result. In the result the entire text is in italics not just the sections between <i> and <em> tags. This error is only seen in the epub version and is not in the pdf version of the book.

Sample of output from the <time> element. Another example of an output that in the ePub that has been formatted in italics when there is in fact no default formatting applied to the HTML output for <time>. The ePub formatting needs changing to not show this sample in italics. This appears fine in the pdf version of the book.

The HTML5 Outlining System |
This is not really a mistake as it is an omission of information. The author might like to know that the h5o Chrome outliner bookmarklet provided by Google works perfectly well in Safari 5.x, on my Mac, and any other recent browser.

Para beginning "All basic web forms.."
"At that point the server collects all the data that the user has entered and sends it back to the web server"
should that 5th word be BROWSER instead of SERVER?

Appendix B. Manipulating and Element
Changing the source of an image object. Code uses getElementById to initialize a variable called imgObject with a image object called dayImage.
In the next line it changes the source of the image using the javascript object variable but uses the variable name dayImage which is the element id value and not the variable name.
dayImage.src = "cloudy.jpg";
should be:
imgObject.src = "cloudy.jpg";

Hi, great book!
In the section "Linear Gradient" from Chapter 6, the syntax "from <corner>" doesn't seem to be consistent with the W3C specification at http://www.w3.org/TR/css3-images/#linear-gradients. For example, the supplied file "Gradients.html" displays incorrectly in Firefox v35 (see also https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/linear-gradient). The W3C syntax seems to only allow "to <corner>". Perhaps the specification changed?
