UNCONFIRMED  errors and comments from readers: 



{82, 83} Attributes that contain anything other than [a-zA-Z0-9] must
be quoted in HTML.  The examples for <font> at least use unquoted +n
attributes, which are not legal.

{270-271} In 9.3.3.5 for the font-weight style, you say "Netscape
supports the numeric boldness values; Internet Explorer does not."
This is only partly true.

If you declare font attributes in the *font property*, MSIE 3.01 (Mac)
does not merely ignore this number; it reads it as the font size. So:

DIV { font: 400 12pt/14pt serif italic }

displays a 12pt serif italic normal-weight font in N4.0, and a 400pt
serif font in MSIE. Yikes!

{353} Figure 11-4 shows "Another Line" whereas the html code
supposedly used to generate this figure uses the text "Line 2" on page
354.

{414} In section 13.3.3 at the bottom of page 414 is the following
example for an onMouseOver command:

<a href=doc.html onMouseOver="document.status='Click me!'; return
true">

Shouldn't it have quote marks around -doc.html-? 

?477? next-to-last entry: it would appear that this whole beginning of
the sentence should not be there since there is already an indicator
to the right saying the same thing (circled I) and I don't see it
called out anywhere else in the Quick Reference.

{section 11.2} The align tag within a table is NOT supported in
Netscape 3.0. There is no mention of this in the chapter.
