The reader is direct to the following URL to download sample HTML code referred to in the text: http://diveintohtml5.org/exampled/blog-original.html When this string is entered into a browser the following error message is returned: Gone The requested resource / is no longer available on this server and there is no forwarding address. Please remove all references to this resource. This error seems to serious impact the experience and utility of reading the text. Sincerely, Glen Kohler |

| Printed, PDF | Page 40 2nd paragraph on section rel="prefetch" |
It says “Search engines sometimes add <link rel="prefetch" href="<emphasis>URL OF TOP SEARCH RESULT</emphasis>"> to the search results page...” but the text starting with "<emphasis>" looks wrong and it doesn't follow the convention noted in preface. It should be <link rel="prefetch" href="URL of top search result"> and the text "URL of top search result" should be shown in constant width italic. |

| Page 86 the paragraph just before the "MPEG-1 Audio Layer 3" section |
current text: "There are lots of audio codecs. Did I say there were lots of video codecs? Forget that." presumably the word "video" in the second sentence should be "audio": "Did I say there were lots of audio codecs?" |

3rd sentence of 3rd paragraph states, "Inside the <video> element are two <source> elements." There are, in fact, three in the example given (2nd paragraph). |

The text states that text operations on the HTML5 canvas are supported in IE via explorercanvas. An important clarification: they are only available from the explorercanvas trunk at present. Downloading the latest release (r3) of explorercanvas does not provide fillText() support. Referencing from my Kindle this is stated at location 1798-1818. |
