3rd line of code from bottom of the page

Just a minor omission. You could add one semicolon on the following line:
var id = "not awesome"

Note from the Author or Editor:
That line should read (adding the semicolon on the end):

var id = "not awesome";

The text is "(then enclosing/global scope which also holds a)". Should be "(the enclosing/global scope which also holds a)".

Note from the Author or Editor:
As described in the errata report, "then" should have been "the" in the parenthetical. This phrase appears in Chapter 5 near the end of the "Now I Can See" section. Page 53 in print book.
