| Page 22 "Transitions" section, list of transitions |
The description of the "slideup" page transition seems to imply that the current page slides up, revealing the next page below. In fact, the *next* page slides up from the bottom of the screen covering the current page. Essentially, "slideup" behaves like "slidedown" but with the next page arriving from the bottom rather than the top of the screen. |

| Page 85 CSS Selectors, 1st paragraph |
The first sentence of the CSS Selectors section starts "jQuery Mobile will attach various CSS classes to the HTML element". This is a little ambiguous as it looks like "HTML element" could be any HTML element whereas it really refers to the <html> element at the document's root. Would "HTML" be better written in lower-case using a constant width font as the other element names in the book are? |

In the latest version of jQuery Mobile (1.0b1), the "defaultTransition" configuration option has been renamed to "defaultPageTransition". |

| Page 91 Last paragraph |
On Page 91, the following text describes how jqmData() can be used to select all elements with a data-jqm-role="header" attribute, but it is actually selecting all elements with data-jqm-role="page" attribute: |
