"any of the four document types" should read "any of the five document types"

four -> five

In the paragraph above the five types of HTML are described. In the beginning of the same sentence 'five common doctypes' are described. The follow up reads 'any of the four document types', which is inconsistent. (This is likely from a previous version without HTML5)

Note from the Author or Editor:
page 5 paragraph above note, second sentence should end with
"using any of the five document types without problem."

This line of code:

<script src="../_js/jquery-1.6.3.min.js"></script>

should be updated to:

<script src="../_js/jquery-1.7.2.min.js"></script>

The note discusses some type conversions and introduces the variable shoePrice for an example; later, the note refers to the previous variable as showPrice (it should be shoePrice again). Minor typo.

Note from the Author or Editor:
page 53, note, last sentence
change showPrice to shoePrice

"...you've have created..." should be changed to "...you've created..." or "...you have created...".

I the second code listing, first line comment, "an Boolean object" should read "a Boolean object" as it does in the last comment in the first code listing.

The listing currently reads:

var data = false; // an Boolean object

and should read

var data = false; // a Boolean object

"For example, while '2'==2 is true, '2' = = = 2 is not true"

Because the there is no space between the double "equals" signs of the first statement, it looks like a single, elongated "equals" sign.

"'2' = = 2" would be better, and in keeping with the format of the other statements on the page.

"You can learn about this command on page 464..." should read "You can learn about this command on page 446...".

the last line.... "shown on page 96:" should be, "shown on page 95:"

"Figure 3-5" should be "Figure 3-6"

Change "That's why this books covers..." to "That's why this book covers"

In the first line, "tranditionally" should be "traditionally"

Testbed "content_functions.html" contains the <h1> element "Regular Expression Tester." It should say "Content Functions Tester" (or similar) instead. (This testbed is referenced on page 138 of the printed book. The error is in the html testbed file itself.)

Note from the Author or Editor:
We've updated the tutorial files to fix this mistake.

There should be a closing parentheses before the period.

Note from the Author or Editor:

(choose Safari -> Preferences, click the Advanced button, and make sure the "Show Develop menu in menu bar" is checked).

For Step 2 the closing script tag should be, </script>

Note from the Author or Editor:
step 2, change the last <script> to </script>
in step 3, line 1, same change

In line 1 of Steps 4,5, and 6 the closing script tag should be, </script>

Note from the Author or Editor:
line 1 in steps 4, 5 and 6 should read
<script src="../_js/jquery-1.6.3.min.js"></script>
in other words, at the end of the line change <script> to </script>

In Step 4, "typed in step 2" should be, "typed in step 3"

"...the code .next('answer') finds the first tag following the <h2> that also has the class answer applied to it."
Should read
"...the code .next('.answer') finds the first tag following the <h2> that also has the class answer applied to it."
Put a '.' before answer in the brackets.

Sentence states ". . . as if the element where bouncing." but should be were.

Note from the Author or Editor:
should read
"as if the element were bouncing."

path to script files is missing a leading underscore, should be:

File multiple-callbacks.html from chapter 6 works in Firefox, but not in Explorer 9. After I removed comma inside the literal object
after left: '+=400px'
{
left: '+=400px'
},

code works in IE.

Note from the Author or Editor:
page 197, second block of code, line 3
change
left: '+=400px',
to
"left: '+=400px'
(remove the comma at the end of that code)

The first paragraph "jQuery plug-ins...." is a duplicate of the paragraph on page 200, step 2, below the code.

Note from the Author or Editor:
Replace first paragraph after code that begins with "jQuery plug-ins.." with
"jQuery's .hover() function is a bit wild looking when you've finished adding all of its programming (see step 12). However, it's really just a function that accepts two anonymous functions as arguments . It's a good idea to add the "shells" of the anonymous functions first -- so you can make sure you've set it up correctly -- before adding all of the programming inside the functions."

"press Returns" should be, "press Return"

A period should not appear at the end of the line of code. The line should end at the semi-colon.

Note from the Author or Editor:
remove period. code should look like this:
var imgFile = $(this).attr('src');

In the link href line, 1.3.4.css".css" should be, 1.3.4.css"

The Hex values for the overlayColor should match: code value=#F64, discussion value is, #F65.

Note from the Author or Editor:
Page 226, last paragraph, first sentence: change "#F65" to "#F64"

The last line of the object literal should have the comma removed. The line should be,
transitionOut: 'elastic'

In the object literal, the transitionOut needs a comma at the end. The line should read,
transitionOut : 'elastic',

The option, over, should be in italics. This is to be consistent with the options: outside and inside being italicized.

Sentence says "You can find read more . . ." but should be either find or read, not both.

Note from the Author or Editor:
remove the word "find", should read:
You can read more about the CSS sprites technique...

"Figure 8-4" should be, "Figure 8-3" Two places.

The fourth bullet item contains two errors. The first error is in the first sentence which should read ...opens off of a button... The second and more serious error is the reference to figure 8-4. There is no figure 8-4. These should refer to figure 8-3.

In the 7th line of the HTML listed, "heliisking" should likely be, "heliskiing"

For the last line of the paragraph, the JavaScript line,

'#state:selected' should be ' #state :selected'

Per paragraph 4, a space is needed between the ID name (state) and the selector.

Note from the Author or Editor:

var selectedState=$('#state:selected').val();
to
var selectedState=$('#state :selected').val();
in other words, add a SPACE between #state and :selected

Step 4, line 3 should read:
$(':text:first').focus();

Step 4, line 6 is missing a single quote after the color choice:
.css('backgroundColor', '#CCC');

Step 4, line 7 is missing a single quote after the color choice:
$('#creditCard label').css('color', '#BBB');

"page 278" should be "page 284"

The end of the last sentence should read: "...to quickly validate these form fields." Change "this" to "these"

Note from the Author or Editor:

"quickly validate this form fields." to
"quickly validate these types of form fields."

Error in Author/Editor's correction:

change: "The style for the div tag that surrounds all of the panels is important:" to "The style for the div tag that surrounds all of the panels.

Should read:
change:
"The style for the div tag that surrounds all of the panels requires is important:"
to
"The style for the div tag that surrounds all of the panels is important:"

On the third line from the end of the 2nd paragraph,

"variable named tip" should be "variable named $tip"

the last line of Step 8 "chapter 12" should be "chapter 11"

Note from the Author or Editor:
last line of paragraph following step 8. Change
"in the chapter12 file" to
"in the chapter12 folder"

should be name/value pair, rather than name value/pair.

The first sentence on page 371 (below the note) is "You already learned how to create JSON back on page 370." However the first mention of JSON in the book was six lines before that sentence, and we didn't learn much in those six lines.

Note from the Author or Editor:
First sentence after NOTE at top of page:
remove sentence
"You already learned how to create JSON back on page 370."

The term "JSON" should be changed to "JSON object" or equivalent in this sentence: "When the web server responds to an Ajax request, it can return a string formatted like a JSON."

Note from the Author or Editor:
First sentence of second to last paragraph should end in
"a string formatted like a JSON object."

Line 3 begins "$.getJSON" but when the line is repeated at the middle of the page. there is a space after the "get":
"$.get JSON" I doubt that both are correct.

Note from the Author or Editor:
middle code section remove space between $.get and JSON
should be
$.getJSON

The items property is an array of object literals, and a closing bracket, ], was omitted between the closing braces of lines 29 and 30.

Note from the Author or Editor:
in the code on the page, add a new line 30 (between the current 29 and 30) so last three lines look like this:

29 }
30 ];
31 }

In step 8, the first 3 bold lines should not be bolded. For step 8, only the '$('#photos').append(photoHTML);' line should be in bold.

Note from the Author or Editor:
In step 8, the first 3 bold lines should not be bolded. For step 8, only the '$('#photos').append(photoHTML);' line (which appears on page 386) should be in bold.

I think that it should say: "So in addition to the <script> tag from step 1"- not step 2.

The end of the text before the script starts should read "...--then add goMap(); :" Replace "gmap3()" with "goMap();"

Note from the Author or Editor:
First paragraph following step 4 point: change
"then add gmap3();"
to
"then add goMap();"

The first sentence should read -- "Just calling the goMap() function...." Replace "jmapgoMap()" with "goMap()"

Note from the Author or Editor:
Last paragraph on page 389, replace
jmapgoMap() with
goMap()

<h1 class="shadowLine">Google Maps</h1>

<h1>Google Maps</h1>

line 2... line 3... line 4... should be:

</div';

"See the previous page" maybe should be "See Page 407"

"In line 4" should be "In line 3"

"Table 15-1" should be "Table 14-1"

"Table 15-2" should be "Table 14-2"

In Figure 14-4 for Group 3 "\swww" should be "\bwww"

In Paragraph 2, all "10/27" should be "10/28"

Not one that actually affects the code, but,
alert('You lose (but at least you have a great name');
To

Perhaps you should have been following your own advice when writing this? :D

Note from the Author or Editor:
change
alert('You lose (but at least you have a great name');

To

alert('You lose(but at least you have a great name)');

The phrase "which refers not to the HTML document itself" should be "which refers to the HTML document itself", i.e., remove the "not".

Note from the Author or Editor:
change "which refers not to the HTML document itself" to
"which refers to the HTML document itself."
remove the "not"

References to "Figure 14-2" should be for "Figure 15-2"

On the second line, "1.6.2" should be, "1.6.3"

Note from the Author or Editor:
change
jquery-1.6.2min.js
to
jquery-1.6.3.min.js

I think that it should say 15-10 rather than 14-10
