Figure 7-11

Figure 7-11 is exactly the same as Figure 7-10, but as the code shows: it should produce just a back button with the title "Home Page". Is it possible to be a technique or formatting problem?

Note from the Author or Editor:
The images are the same, they should be changed by the correct ones from the original files.

Last paragraph on the page before the code example

URL for the complete solution is wrong. 'mobilexcode.com' should be 'mobilexweb.com'.

Note from the Author or Editor:
In page 296, Chapter 9, the URL http://www.mobilexcode.com/go/autogrowing must be changed to http://www.mobilexweb.com/go/autogrowing

Table 10-1

'Accept-Charset' is listed twice. The second one should say 'Accept-Encoding'.

Note from the Author or Editor:
Table 10-1, in first column, last row: It should say Accept-Encoding instead of Accept-Charset. Accept-Charset is already included in the table.

Last sentence in paragraph is missing a period.

Note from the Author or Editor:
Thanks. It's difficult to detect a missing period ;)
