Table 5-4, last line

"Horizontal ellipses" should be "Horizontal ellipsis."

exercise 10-2, step 2

Sentence reads:

It should come as no surprise that "this page is not HMTL 1.0 Strict."

But we are testing a document for HTML *4.01* Strict validation. Sentence should read:

It should come as no surprise that "this page is not Valid HTML 4.01 Strict."

Answer to question 2 (top of page)

The answer to question 2 reads:

"The paragraph text will be red because...the last one listed in the style sheet wil be used."

But the last declaration listed in the style sheet in question 2 (found on page 202) is { color:
gray;} so the answer should read:

"The paragraph text will be gray..."
