Errata

The word BACKSLASH should be FORWARD SLASH to be consistent with what is on p#7, 4th paragraph, last
sentence.

Hovering the mouse over the file name in the title bar does nothing on my iMac, I have to press Command and click on the file name to see where the file is located. This also occurs on page 48 Fig.1-21 midway through the paragraph

True for page 20, not for Figure 1-21:
On page 20 change:
?if you hover your mouse over the file name?index.html, for example?you?ll see the location of that file on your Mac.?
To
?if you command-click the file name?index.html, for example?you?ll see a drop down menu with the complete path to that file on your Mac.?

FIGURE 1-21:
Actually is correct, but only applies to the tabs that appear when more than one document is open. You might want to bold ?document tabs? in the callout for that figure to emphasize that point.

Wrong chapter reference. It says :

"For more on root folders and organizing Web sites, see chapter 14."

It should refer to Chapter 15 ("Introducing Site Management")

NOTE: Because defining a site is such an important step, you can find a video about the process on this books Web site at www.sawmac.com/dwcs3/.

URL changed to "www.sawmac.com/dwcs3/site.html"

"In Phase 1 (page 39)" should be "In Phase 2 (page 42)

There is no space in between the following words toward the end of the paragraph. "inthe" - currently the sixth word from the bottom.

Should read as follows:

Figure 1-28:

Dreamweaver can launch a Web browser and load a page in it so you can preview your design. One option-"Preview using temporary file"-comes in handy when working with Cascading Style Sheets, as described in the Note on page 150.

'choose Edit' changed to 'choose File'

The Mac shortcut is listed as "(command key)-Alt-I" instead of "(command key)-Option-I."

reference: "See page xx for more details."

Should be "page 123"

Verbiage says "see page XX". Incorrect refference.

Should be "page 120"

I have Dreamweaver CS3 The Missing Manual, Printing History: June 2007: First Edition.
I don't know if its been fixed already or not, but on page 130, under 2. Choose File - Check Browser Compatibility, the last sentence reads, "In either case, Dreamvweaver analyses the HTML and CSS for the page, and spits out the results in the Browser Compatibility tab of the Results panel (see Figure 4-9)." Figure 4-9 shows how to find the Check Browser Compatibility option in the drop down list from the Check Page tab, but doesn't show the Results Panel. Should the sentence refer to "(figure 4-10)" instead?

Note from the Author or Editor:
last sentence of paragraph following step #2 on page 130 should refer to Figure 4-10 NOT Figure 4-9.

Step 2 says
Choose File --> Check Browser Compatibility
I think it should say
Choose File --> Check Page --> Browser Compatibility

The three links in the figure illustrate how to link pages in different parts of the website. Link number
2 is supposed to illustrate a linkage from the page horoscopes.html to the page pisces.html, according to
the text on page 158. However, the link is shown as connecting the link to the horoscopes folder, and not
to the horoscope page.

(Select on Macs) changed to (Choose on Macs)

I was following the instructions to create an image mapped with multiple Hot Spots. But, when following the instructions at point 8 on page 228, it says for each additional hot spot (on a single image), repeat steps 2 through 7.

Actually, it should say steps 3 through 7.

There is ONLY ONE MAP NAME per image, and when I tried to do step 2 for each additional hot spot, it just
renamed the map to a different name. So, the text of the book is misleading.

A SINGLE MAP Name (that needs to be entered only once) will suffice for multiple hot spots, where each
hot spot point with a different geometry and link.

Here's the code from a map with 3 hot spots, and note that it has ONLY ONE MAP NAME:

<img src="images/Framing3.jpg" width="678" height="415" border="0" usemap="#OnlyOneMapName" />
<map name="OnlyOneMapName" id="OnlyOneMapName">
<area shape="rect" coords="5,3,271,190" href="about.html" alt="FirstHotSpot" />
<area shape="circle" coords="376,120,77" href="legal.html" alt="SecondHotSpot" />
<area shape="circle" coords="210,278,57" href="about.html" alt="ThirdHotSpot" />
</map>

The first sentence reads "If you split a cell into columns, everything in the cell winds up in the left
column, with the new, empty column or columns to the left."

It seems like it should read "If you split a cell into columns, everything in the cell winds up in the
left column, with the new, empty column or columns to the RIGHT."

You can't have all the content and the new blank column both on the left!

the footer moves to the right, not the left

Step 17 says to create a new advance style named "#banner img" but it needs to be named "#header img"

thank you

Note from the Author or Editor:
Step 17 page 366, "Create a new advanced style named #header img."

17. In the CSS Style panel, click the New Style button. Create a new advanced style
named #banner img, and store it in the global.css style sheet.

* The #banner img should read #header img. <body.twoColFixLtHdr><div#container><div#header>

When attempting to apply the changes using #banner img, the change will not occur. If it is changed to #header img, the changes will be applied.

"Create a new advanced style named #banner img"
changed to:
"Create a new advanced style named #header img"

The figure is not an accurate representation of what the output is. For example, the figure shows "Submit" on the button when in step 4 on p. 454 the user is told to change the value to "Signup". Also the styling of the button is not accurate--there is no special styling so it should just be a plain, unstyled button. The same is true for the "select a decade" pull-down menu. There is no special styling so the output just doesn't end up looking like Figure 11-36 stylistically.

Note from the Author or Editor:
Figure 11-36 the button should say "Sign up" not "Submit".

The text ".CollapsiblePanel:focus" should be ".CollapsiblePanelTab:focus".

missing close tag for <description>

changed to:

<description>Kudzu?lower vegetation.</description>

Line 17, missing the close tag </description>

changed to:

<description>One type of?steel reinforcing.</description>

"Eucalypts" changed to "Eucalyptus" (line 15)

"The" changed to "They" (line 16)

Step 14 on page 708: filename "water_fun.html" changed to "farming_fun.html"

"Download the software at www.living-e.com/products/MAMP-PRO/download.php"
the URL has been changed. it should be:
http://www.mamp.info/en/download.html

You describe the path to the cosmo_shop testing site as:
C:Program Filesxamppcosmo_shop.

That didn't work, and I spent time trying to figure out why.

The correct path is:

C:Program Filesxampphtdocscosmo_shop

It would be helpful to let the reader know to start up Apache and MySQL before proceeding with step 1.

OK
?1. Make sure you?ve started up XAMPP (page 757) or MAMP (page 759), then in any Web browser??

Your sentence says, "To see the results of your hard work, open the products.php page.

It should say to open the "index.php" page, because THAT is where the links are, not the products.php
page.

....select the file called updated.php, but don't close the window yet.

....select the file called edit.php, but don't close the window yet.
