More like a question...why aren't the answers to the exercises included in the materials? I only see the final tables the way they should look, but have no idea what the final mark-ups should look like? Is there a way to get the mark-ups for these exercises?
Thank you.

"You can use it and style it in most browsers, but for Internet Explorer (including version 11, the most current as of this writing), you’ll need to create the element with JavaScript and set its display to block with a style sheet, as discussed in the |
It says that the solution to support the main element in IE11 is to use this code:
" < (start comment syntax) [if lt IE 9]>
script src="//cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/html5shiv/3.7.3/html5shiv.min.js" script
![endif] (end comment syntax)" (I can't write the exact code because it won't submit)
However, the code only works if it's less than (lt) IE 9 right? Doesn't that mean adding this will do nothing to fix the problem in IE11?

This is related to the other question. The book told me to "Just copy this code in the head of
your document and use a style sheet to style the new elements as blocks". However, I am already seeing the code "section, article, nav, aside, header, footer, main { display: block; }" in the JavaScript file linked in the book. Is it necessary to "use a style sheet to style the new elements as blocks" again?

1 st paragraph (Video and Audio) |
Good afternoon,
The Chapter 10 talks about Audio and Video. Now I have a problem (in the book I don't see any reference on this topic)
and that is on Mozilla Firefox, I should start a video but I have to start it at x minute, in order to avoid playing the whole video.
Could you help me understand how to do this using html 5 tags?
At the moment I start the video but I can't get it to start at minute x.
Thanks for your kind reply.
Best regards.
//Edmund (Computer Science)

Confusing issue is as follows:
- In the book and slide E[attribute |= "value"] attribute selector is explained as "Targets hyphen-separated values". This calls something like "value-....", "....-value" or "...-value-..." is affected.
- To clarify this type of a misunderstanding it would be better to explain the selector as "Targets elements with the specified attribute starting with the specified value and followed by a hyphen" (note: this is different than *= and ~= attribute selectors)
I would like to thank you and the author J.N. Rabbins for the workforce and time-spent in preparing this book for the academia.
