On page 32 in the image displaying the layout twice, the context div of the images is labeled has having a class called div.main but the text refers to it as a div with an id of div#main.

I believe it is intended to be an id of div#main as it is in the downloadable examples.



Note from the Author or Editor:
This is a typo resulting from some CSS changes late in the production process. The references on page 32 that read div.main should be changed to read div#main.

In the file extras/tartans.html, the opening <a> tag for the back button has a slash that shouldn't be there. Also, the file tartans/tartans.css file as extracted from the chapter6.zip file starts with keith instead of abercrombie. I had to get the tartans.css file from the download site to get a clean copy.

the "Bring forrit the tartan!" tagline shows up aligned on the left, instead of centered. Is there an error in the code?

Note from the Author or Editor:
No print changes needed. Issues were in source/example code, which has been fixed and updated on the book's site (hf-mw.com).

When searching by state, an error message is displayed stating that 'distance_formatted' is undefined. To fix this, I added the following at line 60 of event_search.inc:
$event['distance_formatted'] = "";

Note from the Author or Editor:
This is resolved in the source code. No print changes required.

code

The code on pages 337 and 338 use the 'var' keyword for the functions that are defined. However the code in the extras/scripts files does not use the keyword. Does the difference in scope matter?

Note from the Author or Editor:
On page 340: There is a large block of JavaScript code in the middle of the page. There are two lines that are slightly amiss:

refreshTartans = function() {

should read

var refreshTartans = function() {

Likewise,

tartanFound = function(event) {

should read

var tartanFound = function(event) {
